Created with programmers, system administrators, and web designers in mind, tlbox takes the very simple idea of saving bookmarks online. Now before you dismiss it as another one of those bookmarking websites like del.icio.us or Ma.gnolia, within minutes of using it you’ll find out it’s different enough.
How tlbox Works
tlbox integrates with Firefox (compatible up to […]
Whether you love it, hate it, or don’t get it, Twitter is a thing of fascination on so many levels. It’s supposed to be a one-trick pony, designed for the restless, the narcissists, and the stalkers (pick one) to answer one simple question: “what are you doing?”
Ironically, it has managed to spawn more innovations and […]
In an effort to raise awareness about syndication on the Web, Daily Blog Tips has started campaigning for another online event: RSS Awareness Day, which happens on May 1st.
Now I have got to wonder why we have to be so specific and tackle only RSS feeds and not feeds and syndication in general. Why call […]
The Web would be much more chaotic than it already is without standards. Today we’re going to talk about how various content on the web is being represented by standardized icons. Several groups of people have come together and agreed upon these simple yet distinct icons for identifying syndicated, OPML, geotagged, shareable content.
It’s interesting to […]
It seems the online world is the perfect place for all the madness taking place every April 1st, but I’ve noticed some of the pranks circling the Web today are really good ideas and worth discussing here on Wisdump.

The Share This button, originally a WordPress plugin by Alex King (interview), is now a separate project, along with the Share This icon and everything. It’s hosted these days, but you can still download the self-hosted plugin should you prefer not relying on an external service.
And it’s apparently used by bookstore and -printer Lulu, which […]
It is bound to happen, the Google Web Browser that is. For a company so focused on delivering online applications that compete with the old desktop variant, a reliable browser and the direct connection with the users it offers just sounds like the obvious choice.
So where is the Google Web Browser?
Some might say that Firefox […]
ProBlogger’s got a post up by Suzanne Falter-Barns, basically retelling Andy Wibbels’ opinions on why blogs have killed conventional websites in a 13 point list. In other words, the question they’re asking - have blogs killed conventional websites? - i rhetorical to say the least.
The answer, being yes they have, obviously, is also wrong.
No, blogs […]
Flock 1.0 is out, and it’s branding itself as a social browser. What that means is that they’ve integrated a number of online applications and social networks in the browser, easily accessible via buttons and sidebars. You can post tweets, see what your Facebook friends are up to, upload photos to Flickr, or even post […]

The Web 2.0 love-in is already fizzling out. I’m not alone in thinking that we need a new term for what’s happening around us. Om Malik proposes that we just start calling what’s going on “innovation” again, while Steve Rubel coughs up the “Cut and Paste Web“. Very punk rock Steve, but I prefer to […]
