Plurk.com

I am just playing around with Plurk.com, which is another microblogging service. Personally i’m not a big fan of microblogging, but anyhow, i like Plurk. The creators have integrated a lot of little and nifty features (a timeline etc.).

But see & try yourself…

Revenue Share Network: Zenzuu

Daniel — Sun, 13 Apr 2008 07:04:42 +0000

I got an invitation for “ZenZuu“, which is another social-network-bla-bla:

ZenZuu is a next generation social networking platform that lets you create a profile similar to other ancient social networks, except our leading edge technology allows you to make money by signing up your friends and receive revenue sharing.

I don’t know. But for me the focus lies too much on money. Not making friends, not having fun etc. — just making money. And that makes the network not very friendly. You see ads everywhere, have a complex privacy policy and i don’t really find the information who stands behind this project. But thats only my opinion after some minutes of use. ;)

Update: Uh, and here is the whole formula stuff, which is used for their revenue share program.

Zemanta

Image from WikipediaJust found Zemanta on the Web and i am just using it when writing this article. Its a Firefox Plugin and searches your written words in Wordpress for example and suggests pictures and other articles which you can link to your posting.
Very nice if you are lazy and want to tune up your article with some nice stuff — like i do now ;). And it has a really cool integration in Wordpress.
Despite of this, the first thing that come to my mind when i read about this tool, was the copyright problem with embedded pictures. But they solved it apparently:

[...] All content that we are suggesting is copyright cleared – either clearly licenced as Creative Commons, or approved by stock providers.

Adobe Photoshop Express

Adobe has opened the registrations to their really phat looking online photo editing tool “Adobe Photoshop Exress“. Its based on Flash and runs fine on Safari. On Firefox i had some problems.

The editing features are not comparable to the real Photoshop Software or maybe GIMP, but for quick modifying of pictures its sufficient, i think.

But watch out what kind of photos you upload, because you grant Adobe a very exclusive right (see https://www.photoshop.com/express/terms.html):

[...] However, with respect to Your Content that you submit or make available for inclusion on publicly accessible areas of the Services, you grant Adobe a worldwide, royalty-free, nonexclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, and fully sublicensable license to use, distribute, derive revenue or other remuneration from, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, publicly perform and publicly display such Content (in whole or in part) and to incorporate such Content into other Materials or works in any format or medium now known or later developed.

Tagzania: tagging the planet

Tagzania is about tags and places. If you register and log in, you can add places, points, to create and document your maps. When you add a point, you may tag it with keywords. That way, Tagzania is not only a place to build and keep your own maps, shared territories are created as well.
