Yahoo! is playing catchup with Google as usual, and as usual, nothing is better than competition for the customer. The battle of Web 2.0 between Google and Yahoo! is churning out interesting product after interesting product, and I would run to go work for either of these companies without a second thought. In any case, […]

Flickr Post Bar is a brilliant little plugin for Wordpress by a guy named Joe Tan (tantannoodles.com). It pulls in recent Flickr photos right into the new post screen of Wordpress to allow for one click photo posting. It is so easy to install and use I can’t even believe it. The Flickr screen name […]

If you don’t already know about it, Flock is a pretty brilliant new web browser, based on Mozilla (so it should be as fast, accurate, and stable as Firefox), with many Web 2.0-style features built right in. Bookmarks are completely integrated with del.icio.us, and a blogging interface is built right in, meaning starting a new […]

OK, so this is not for everyone (you’ve been warned), but for all the professional and amateur web developers that come here, if you haven’t read about AMASS in the last few days, you are out of the loop.
AMASS is a technique to provide 100KB of client-side data storage to an AJAX web application […]

I don’t think I have to tell anyone here that Mini (you know, the cars) consistently have the BEST marketing and viral marketing campaigns I have ever seen. I hope I don’t have to remind you about the whole Counterfeit Mini commercials and DVDs. In any case, their new online effort is fantastic in so […]

Time for another good idea. Mologogo. A good friend of mine put a little application that combines GPS or faux-GPS coordinate data sent from any location sensitive cellphone to a Google Map. That means if you have basically any Nextel phone with Java and GPS built in, you can download a little pice of software […]

I just mentioned it quickly in the previous article, by 37 Signals just launched their collaborative, web-based text editor, Writeboard, that plays well with the rest of their fine applications. Another fine addition to their suite of beautiful Web 2.0 applications.

Caution: This article is for people who care about web development, advertising, publishing, and design. All others will probably find it too long, too boring, and too nerdy to be worth their time.
I’ve been writing far too many presentations lately about the way the web has changed over the last year or two. Applications like […]

Yesterday afternoon, chrisdiclerico.com went down completely for a few hours, along with every other one of the 60,000 sites hosted by Dreamhost, and Dreamhost.com itself, due to the LA blackouts, which might seem unusual given all of their “backup generators” but apparently it was quite a debacle out there in LA. Dreamhost has been blogging […]

Douglas Bowman of Stopdesign recently made all the template files from his beautiful personal weblog photo gallery available for free download and use. They are intended to be used with MovableType version 3 and higher, and it seems that they would be super-diffuclit to adapt to Wordpress or any other CMS. Since I’m not using […]

I got this from my friend Matt tonight. Not good for all you Internet Explorer users. Switch to Firefox right away!
**Please pay close attention to this email since your online security is at risk:**
If you’ve ever copied a PIN, password, or other sensitive information to your Windows clipboard, it’s fairly simple for a web site […]
