    Firefox 3 and Windows Live Hotmail

    Since I upgraded to firefox 3 on both my macs, the ‘full’ version of Widows Live Hotmail will not work, instead we get a plain old html mail app. Umm I’m sure mozilla did not remove javascript support from the browser, to this is a Windows Live issue. Can we have it fixed please?

    Well I’ve actually been planning lately to move away from hotmail, I actually don’t know why I still use it, so if they fix it it’s ok and if they don’t I dont really care it will just push me towards dropping the service.

    Share on Facebook Vanilla Extension

    As some of you may know, I use Vanilla to run one of my websites. Today it occurred to me there was no way to share cool discussions on Facebook, I looked around and found no one had developed an extension for this. So I made my own and I’m sharing it with the world.

    You can go check it out at the vanilla extension repository.

    Or download it from here.

    Music Service Done Right

    The folks at http://musicovery.com/ have got it right. I must say I am quite impressed. Basically, they’re an online webradio which finds music for you according to your mood and genres. The mood feature is really quite nice and hits the spot, not to mention they do have an amazing music selection.

    Now this is a service I wouldn’t mind paying $4 a month for a premium account (gives you higher radio quality).

    The Race For Social Network Dominance

    Google just anounced this morning Friend Connect, it’s own data portability network. It while require almost no programming knowledge to add social network features to your site, according to google:

    Websites that are not social networks may still want to be social — and now they can be, easily. With Google Friend Connect (see http://www.google.com/friendconnect following this evening’s Campfire One), any website owner can add a snippet of code to his or her site and get social features up and running immediately without programming — picking and choosing from built-in functionality like user registration, invitations, members gallery, message posting, and reviews, as well as third-party applications built by the OpenSocial developer community.

    Visitors to any site using Google Friend Connect will be able to see, invite, and interact with new friends, or, using secure authorization APIs, with existing friends from social sites on the web, including Facebook, Google Talk, hi5, orkut, Plaxo, and more.

    They include api connection to other netwroking platforms, also they add open id to the package. Nice.

    Ok so someone else jumped in the wagon, sho would have their services adopted massively? Who knows , but the race is on. I would honestly have Google to handle all of this rather than Facebook.
