I just registered a Twitter account, if only to make sure I got my username before someone else does, known as “land grabbing” - some say this Twitter lark is the new Facebook but I’m not so sure. Maybe I’ll use it, maybe I won’t. It’s pointless without anybody to follow or be followed by..

In other web 2.0 news, I’ve stopped uploading photos to Facebook because the 60 photos per album limit is just annoying. I’m moving over to Flickr for random photo uploads from my phone, using ShoZu of course.. So, check out my photo stream.

Blog integration of both Twitter and Flickr to come when I can bothered setting it all up!

Zemanta

Source: WikipediaI am writing this entry to test Zemanta - it’s an extension for WordPress and other blogging platforms which automagically suggests images (from Flickr) and links to related articles on whatever you’re writing about. Seems like pretty clever stuff to me. It’s a very simple install, no messing about with WordPress plugin installs, it’s just a Firefox extension.. So after writing 300 characters it goes and looks for suggestions or you can force it to look for suggestions. At the bottom it comes up with suggested links and tags, when I click “Apply All” it added links to Zemanta and WordPress above all by itself. That’s pretty neat. It has found some related articles, such as the one on Techcrunch from which I found Zemanta in the first place. Clicking it makes that “Related articles” box down there appear. And now let’s add an image. There it is over on the right, simple! This post is officially Zemified!!
