Tech at the speed of Warp

I really like DIGG but one feature that could be better is link submission. Here comes in Meshly. Before, if I found some interesting link that I wanted to visit later I had to send the links back to my email and then bookmark it home. You might already have noticed that I don't use del.icio.us. I never found it, user friendly.

The most interesting feature of Meshly is how links are submitted. Meshly uses a novel approach with IM bot. By using your favorite IM like Google, AOL or MSN and adding a bots name to your contact list you have a direct line to the Meshly. First time you contact Mashly it will ask you to register and after that you just write "post" and follow the instructions for posting links.

That reminds me of my past time favorites, IRC bots. Some were smart some still are. It is interesting that no one utilized Google chat together with a Bot system before.

Meshly could be a start of a very interesting trend in IM.

Ever so often someone tells us a phrase we haven't heard before, of have heard it but don't know the meaning of it. The Phrase Finder is an awful site to look at but has almost all phrases that are used. One of my favorite is "Generation X" which is a phrase that describes people born between 1960 and 1970 goes something like this:

The ultimate responsibility of Generation X is to guide the human race through the final and crucial decades of this explosive century into the enlightenment of the next one.

Yesterday I wanted to add social bookmarking clickets to my webpage but found that many just supported Blogger and not Blogger beta.

One interesting site is 3spots. Actualy it is the only site that offers some advice on how to implement Social Bookmarking in Blogger BETA.

I had some hard time and I know what I was doing so here is a "template" to add some of more popular Social Bookmarking sites to your site.

First open your template and edit HTML, check Expand Widget Templates and locate 'post-footer-line post-footer-line-2' line and insert text as shown below. Bolded text is to be inserted.

EDIT:> IF you are using Blogger Classic then remove "EXPR:" infront of HREF tag.

Preview, and if everything is ok, save.

<p class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-2'>
<span class='post-labels'>
<b:if cond='data:post.labels'>
<data:postLabelsLabel/>
<b:loop values='data:post.labels' var='label'>
<a expr:href='data:label.url' rel='tag'><data:label.name/></a><b:if cond='data:label.isLast != "true"'>,</b:if>
</b:loop>
</b:if>
<br/><br/>

The most time consuming thing about writing and posting is generating the "Digg It" code to put on the page.
Digg Button Generator does this automatically and should be a integral part of Digg.
