Social bookmark icons

August 9th, 2008

The icons found attached to articles on this site, and attached to news and blog sites almost everywhere on the web are shortcuts to share your interest with others.

When you find an insightful article or post, you can usually click on an icon and add that specific article to the social network of your choice. Many or most of these sites require you to be registered with them in some way, but if you’re already a member of a community such as Facebook, feel free to share.

Scrabulous, we barely knew ye. Long live Wordscraper!

July 31st, 2008

Ok, so that’s a horrible mix of misquotes, but the important thing is that the makers of Scrabulous haven’t left us to fend for ourselves when it comes to word-games online in a certain social network (that’s Facebook, if you’re too geeky to be social). Their new offering is Wordscraper, and it’s decent. I think the things they did right go beyond making Hasbro’s legal team angry, and I wish them good success. There’s more discussion on Slashdot, if you care for that sort of thing.
