New Facebook Design

Riccardo — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 10:01:25 +0000

Today I was able to switch to the new Facebook Design. Although I had to get used to it I love it. Overall the new layout is more user-friendly, less cluttered, and comes with more manageable features.

The news status updates is great. It is now so easy to keep up with my friends without actually contacting them.

The new Photo page is amazing too. It is much more space to organise and view your photos. A great improvement!

The tabs idea is a good one for organization. It keeps applications and stuff more organised and the profile page won’t take as long to load like in the previews design.

The Inbox now is a now wider and a lot bigger. It looks a lot more clean and userfriendly. There might be still a lot of things that need to be changed and improved, but in general I love the fact facebook is not loaded with all the applications now, since they seperate wall, info, photos and boxes!

Top Wordpress Themes

Riccardo — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 08:23:36 +0000

I was just checking tons of websites for great, free Wordpress themes for my personal blog and found Vistered Little from Windyroad.org! I really love it. It’s functionality is amazing, you have a lot of places to put your widgets (banner, end of post, footer, sidebar, 2nd banner and 3rd banner). Furthermore you can change the background/wallpaper pictures by just adding or removing them from the wallpaper directory. And that’s not the end, you can also change the skin of the theme to make it look more shiny. It looks amazing, check out My Personal Blog!

Another great site for quality Wordpress Themes is TopWPThemes.com! It’s my number one site for finding great themes. Check it out!

Three Best Instant Messengers

Riccardo — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 21:06:11 +0000

Here are the top three Instant Messengers you can find! I personally love Digsby since it unites classical Instant Messenger, eMail Notification and Social Communities.

Digsby (Windows)
It’s the youngest application by far. It has incredible features including all your IM networks as well as social networking (Facebok, MySpace and Twitter included). The userinterface is clean and easy devided into IM + Email + Social Networking. It supports Windows, Linux and Apple.

Pidgin (Windows/Linux)
Pidgin is open source IM client and has a huge community much like Firefox and others. It is open and extensible, meaning you can add your own improved functionality and tools to Pidgin by simply installing a plug-in. It supports all IM networks including IRC Chats.

I personally love this application but have switched to Digsby because I love the eMail and social network support.

You can download Third-Party-Plugins here!

Meebo (Web)
No Matter where you are and what operation system you are running, as long as you’ve got a web browser you can chat with ur friends from anywhere in the world using Meebo’s great web-based chat.

It supports all popular chat networks, video and voice chat and even an iPhone interface.

If you know any other Instant Messenger you think that are great, please comment.

MySpace profile editor offers simple theme management

Riccardo — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 10:57:20 +0000

Not only improved Myspace’s design and menu navigation they also rolled out a new profile editor. Instead of hand-coding everything yourself the Profile editor does it for you. Furthermore MySpace is offering you 8 pre-designed themes in categories such as Arty, Tech and Sports. It is still Beta and pretty basic but functional! You can customise the themes by changing colours, borders and background images.

You can access the editor by navigation to Edit Profile from the Profile menu. [MySpace]

Googles Picasa 2.7 for Linux is ready!

Riccardo — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 15:31:04 +0000

Google has now published it/s new Version of Picasa 2.7 for Linux. From now on you can upload your photos to Picasa’s Web Albums on Linux too. But this isn’t the nly improvement.

Apart from uploading Web-Albums you are also able to Download complete Photo Albums as a collection. Instead of downloaing every single photo this will save you heaps of time. There’s a BUT tho. Apparently this will only work with FireFox, which is for my part great since I love using Firefox.

A new feature is that Picasa saves all the changes you make by editing your photos. A few simple clicks and you can restore the original file.

More information on Picasa Linux version you can find here on linux.com !
