A dynamic blogroll

Replace static, boring blogrolls with dynamic content and transform your blog into a web portal for your network of friends

Bzzzz! Can’t use javascript on the free version of wordpress. Is there a workaround? It’s a neat idea.

UPDATE 12APR07

One thing I love about the Web20 paradigm is that you actual hear back from real people. Try that with Nuance, IBM,  ScanSoft; Microsoft, Dell, or any big company. Here’s feevy’s response.FROM: Alexandre Girard
Re: [Feevy Problem] Signed on but get “down squirrel”

 We’re testing a sidebar widget to include your Feevy on free version of wordpress, we will tell you as soon as WordPress Team include it on their website admin.

Current workaround is to use RSS widget, and give it your Feevy RSS url:

http://www.feeyv.com/code/your_code/rss.xml

This will not display the proper Feevy, just an updated blogroll of your Feevy Feed.

Cheers,

Alex

Ain’t that terrific! Real people with a real solution in under a lifetime!

TECH SERVICE: JOTT (a Voice Phone Call to email service)

Voice Phone Call to email
a public beta

***Begin Quote***

Have you ever …

… felt like you don’t remember things you should? Gifts to buy, a stroke of genius, a song to download, a cab fare?

… wanted to send an email or text message to somebody while in your car (and not take your eye off the road)?

… needed to get a message to a group of people, but couldn’t (or didn’t want to) make a bunch of separate calls.

At Jott, we’re simply trying to give you more access: to your ideas, to people, and more.

We do it using things you trust that are already in your life: an ordinary cell phone and your voice.

To Jott, just make a phone call.

The way we figure it, if Jott gives you time back, let’s you connect or get more done, we’ve done our job.

I heard about this. Tried it. And thought that it might be very useful to have sometime. While it probably will switch to some non-free mode, it might be “handy” to have in reserve. Especially if it is cheap.

From using real dictation to a steno and things like ViaVoice, I know one can dictate much faster than type. And, in some circumstances all you might have access to is a quick phone call. Given that the input is the basic voice phone call, it could be a real “saving shot at the buzzer” sometime.

FWIW

TECH SERVICE: WORDPRESS wouldn’t let me put my code fragment in a recent post

Sunday, April 8, 2007

In this post, I was trying to show how I went from idea to execution. The last part of the post was supposed to be a WORDPRESS text widget code fragment. (Other WORDPRESS bloggers might be amused at my stumbling attempts and those further back on the learning curve may be able to jump over my blind spot.) Interesting was that although I can see what I put in, it didn’t get echoed in the feed.

Here’s the code as a jpeg. You should be able to see it, but not cut ‘n’ past it.

Interesting?
