When Software FAILs Me.
Every now and then I get a nice message from software that just doesn’t make sense. Check out some of the recent FAILs I’ve gotten below.
Blogger FAIL - How can I be over 100% done and how can we have published more files that we have available?
Dreamweaver FAIL - If everything is complete, why do I have a progress bar?
Microsoft Office 2008 FAIL - I'm sure the issue is due to a floppy too. Wait, didn't those go out of style in the 90s?
Spotlight FAIL - Only 494,642 hours remaining!
What’s wrong with Blog Search?!
There are some great blog search engines out there today like Technorati, Google Blog Search and Sphere. However, they all have the same flaw; they don’t block spam blogs.
Not one of the three blog search engines listed above do a very good job, if any job at all, of blocking blog spam. Do a search for some sports gear, like “wrestling shoes”, and there is a great probability that more than a few results in the top ten are spam blogs.
Additional Features for Tools
I updated both of my tools this morning.
For the Chicklet Creator, I added Blogger as an option for the ‘do it yourself’ code. I haven’t tested it, but I’m optimistic. I also removed pLog ‘do it yourself’ code as it was giving me issues so it went away for now.
The Social Bookmark Link Creator, on the other hand, got more updates and fixes today. I have added an options area that you can put in HTML code to format your output code. Want the links separated by
< br >‘s? No problem. Want everything in a list? No problem. Just wanna put a – between each one? No problem. You format it how you want it. This is one feature that will be added to the Chicklet Creator in the future after I get any bugs worked out.
Social Bookmark Link Creator
My Social Bookmark Link Creator is now in testing mode. Just select the links you’d like to add to your blog posts, create the code and copy it into your blogs template. Quick and Easy.
The Social Bookmark Link Creator is a spawn of the Chicklet Creator as they both use the same underlying code to generate the output. This time, I created it for social bookmarking as it’s getting more popular by the day.
Social bookmarking is the idea that you keep all your bookmarks in one online place. Much like Gmail or Yahoo Mail, your information is always accessible no matter where you are.
