Identitate…pe ultima suta de metrii No comments yet

Repede, repede…..scriem cateva randuri ca sa aducem la cunostiinta celor de la BroHouse despre ideile noastre “marete” si de ce au ele nevoie de identitate.

De ce am aplicat pe ultima suta de  metrii ??? Poate din neglijenta? Poate ne place sa lucram sub presiune ? Poate daca sunteti curiosi o sa aflati daca suntem selectati.

Idei avem multe….dar timpul ca sa le punem in practica lipseste cu desavarsire .Asa ca in ultimul timp s-au strans mai multe proiecte care, speram noi,  vor prinde contur pana la finalul anului. Una distre ele deja a fost prezentat de catre Liviu. Este vorba de mosene.ro – idee scoasa la lumina de prichindeii care au aparut in viata noastra in ultimul timp.

Cum spuneam avem mai multe proiecte “pe teava” care au nevoie de identitate. Iata pe scurt despre ce este vorba :

Primul proiect este  “Romania te privesc”

Este unul din proiectele care vrem sa le dezvoltam in urmatoarele luni. Este un site care va contine fotografii cu locuri din Romania si care va avea pentru inceput un numar limitat de “publisheri”.

Cel de-al doilea proiect este “build4.me

Pentru inceput va fi un un site cu review-uri la aplicatii pe care sa le folosim online (gen TweetDeck ).  Principiul dupa care v-a functiona site-ul este foate simplu : in fiecare saptamana  sunt selectate 5 persoane care vor putea sa testeze  o aplicatie online. La sfarsit vor descrie experienta legata de aplicatia respectiva. Se vor realiza clasamente, comparatii, etc….

Daca v-am convins….dati reply cu un logo :)

No more cool Beta for Google and Chrome? No comments yet

Ups, Google is loosing the startup aura more and more and it’s showing it.
It does funny things with it’s labor contracts and now it gives up the cool “Beta” word for profit.
Google Chrome is in Beta, as is Gmail (for many years, already), as are many other Google products.
It seems they really like the “Beta” word there. 
But now, Merrisa Mayer says Chrome will be Beta no more. Why? To get the big OEM contracts. Many people still write M$ for Microsoft, will we write G$$gle for Google?

Firefox si Chrome – se bat in JavaScript No comments yet

Cei de la Mozilla si cei de la Google s-au pus serios pe treaba. Isi imbunatatesc viteza de rulare a JavaScriptului cu fiecare noua versiune. Lucru foarte bun, daca ne gandim la cat JavaScript are o aplicatie AJAX. Safari ar trebui sa fie pe faza, ca nu era chiar asa in urma cand a aparut Chrome.

Iar IE, ar face bine sa se trezeasca naiba. Una peste alta, Firefox a venit tare din urma si chiar a depasit un pic Chrome. Mai multe detalii aici.

Ador razboaiele astea dintre browsere. In sfarsit e si Microsoft obligat sa bage sub covor aberatia de IE 6. In acelasi timp, stateam eu si ma gandeam zilele trecute, ca IE6 asta nu ar fi asa de rau daca ar respecta standardele… 

Are you full? No comments yet

Just finished reading Seth’s latest blog post “Warning: The internet is almost full“. He makes a good point – technology may keep up with the exponential increase in content, especially big bandwidth consumers like videos, but can we keep up? Sometimes I do feel full. Just finished scanning through 400 feeds that accumulated in the last 8 hours Google Reader was untouched. Any of us reads more in a single day then most people would read in a year, not so long ago.

The weakest link in this data increase thing is us. We will crack down if we don’t find a smarter way to filter information and read /watch / listen to stuff. This is why companies like UberVU have most chances to be the next Facebook + Google Reader + Wiki combined thingy.
I’m full for today! Too bad there is no information toilet where you can take an info shit.

You can probably call this an offline blog.

Or a cork board :)

Idea e buna, probabil ca o sa aiba si rezultate, multi deja o aplica, ca de acolo, probabil, au si preluat-o, dar ce ma enerveaza e ca se vede cat de rupti sunt majoritatea profesorilor de realitate. Intentii bune, dar mult prea multa teorie. Sa-i vorbesti unui pusti de 19-20 de ani de “avantajele retelelor sociale”, militand pentru ele e cam aiurea. Probabil ca acelasi pusti are mai multa experienta in domeniu decat cei care predau. Dar e laudabila initiativa.

Google Friend Connect goes Beta – and I though they liked me… No comments yet

A few hours ago I got and e-mail telling me that Google Friend Connect (GFC) is now available for me. Yeee, hapy me. I applied for GFC about 3 months ago, when I was really interested in testing it out. Time passed and GFC was almost forgoten b. And now – They really liled me, they finally gave me access to GFC. Yes, me, and you and everybody else. Because GFC is now private beta.

I’m not that special to Goolge :( . But anyway, it’s quite interesting, check it out, it’s worth the time. And to quote the Google blog Google Friend Connect is now available in beta to any webmaster looking to add a “dash of social” to his or her site“.

Cizmulite din hartie No comments yet

Anul trecut, de Sfantul Nicolae am facut din hartie niste pantofiori pentru toti colegii nostrii, in care am pus cateva bomboane. Simplu, dar a fost de efect, zic eu :P .
Anul acesta am facut un unpdate la idea de anul trecut si voila – cizmulite din hartie.
Si aici e schema cum se fac.
Sursa schemei.
Mai trebuie bomboanele si e gata :) .
Update: La cerere – uite si un filmulet despre cum se fac :) – toate drepturile rezervate :P .

Yahoo si Microsoft, telenovela continua No comments yet

Pe scena reintra Ichan, cumpara actiuni Yahoo, ajunge sa detina peste 5% din actiunile Yahoo!

Ok, si acum ce se mai intampla?
Pai cine sa stie. Ichan e clar ca vrea sa-si acopere investia. Ce vrea Jerry nu prea se mai aude si nu stiu cat de mult mai conteaza. Ce vrea Steve (Balmer) numai el stie, probabil ca o bucatica frumoasa din Yahoo pe nimica.
Ce zice Ichan 
“Microsoft has said publicly that they are not interested in buying the whole company, and I believe them. But they are interested in doing a deal on search, and we should pursue that.”
TimesOnline zice ca deja se negocieaza Yahoo-Microsoft, Kara de la All Things Digital zice ca nu.
Eu mi-am exprimat parerea aici, ca Yahoo o sa fie sfartecat. Acuma inca cred in cea ce am scris, dar nu sunt convins ca o sa fie atat de violent procesul pe cat credeam. Poate ca si situatia economica a pus un pic frana ambitiilor salbatice a greilor din industrie.
Telenovela continua. Dar parca asta inca este valabil. Google inca nu a pierdut nimic.

*Multumesc @dimarius pentru link!
Update: Se pare ca si AOL isi baga nasul mai serios in treburile Yahoo. Mai multe aici
