How much spam?

Akismet is beautifull piece of software for blog protection, and catches lot of spam comming here. Not a single spam message ever came to blog without being caught by akismet module. I have about 200 spam messages daily, and i’m pretty short-fused about them. But check this post… I am a little baby concerning this guy…
Well, off to deleting spam, see you.

Web 2.0 will break apart

And here’s why: There’s not enough money, and money keeps things going, in the extent of billions, for a florists Ajaxed page. Everyone got greedy, and want a share of this multi-million cookie. In 2005 there were so many GREAT web applications that you just can’t imagine. Today, 3/4 of them are done for - they do not exist anymore because no one was interested, although there were like million users of the same service. There are 2 possibilities: one, to promptly find a gold mine in form of fat white Caucasian investors (good for both sides - one gets the money, other gets tax cuts), and the other possibility is to charge users for these services, as this could get money, too… Sad but true. I leave you now to think about this, and start making money, before all ends in a bang. Big bang.

Web 2.0 will eat global bandwidth

Well, couple of days ago, I was with friends of mine over at the favorite local hang-out spot of ours, and we started discussing web 2.0. It seems that we’ve got some pretty bad ideas, such as these: Web 2.0 apps will eat all available internet bandwidth before 2010. And here’s why: Bandwidth is limited. We’ve already seen applications like Google suggest that give you partial results, by getting all results that matter to you. Well, you type a letter, and Google sends you partials, using bandwidth. Then you type another letter, and Google uses some more bandwidth. as you continue typing letters, you can see that these small fractions of bandwidth usage, multiplied by a billion or more users using Google at a same time, will take billion times more bandwidth, times number of letters used for search. As almost every search is 4 letters or more, you can foresee the scenario… But, there’s an encouraging thoughts, which we didn’t think about: by 2010, internet will expand. It will expand more and more, thus allowing such a waste of bandwidth…

Google is mentioned here per-example, it could be any web service that uses such partial queries to their servers, such as userscripts.org, metak (mentioned before), etc…

Bullet fast English Serbian translator

I’ve just stumbled upon best Serbian Web 2.0 Application yet- Metak (Bullet in English) translator, free engine for online translation of words (that’s what the translators are all for) from Serbian to English and vice-versa. At first I thought it was just yet-another-translator, but with first letter that I typed, it was all different… Something like Google suggest happened in a flash, and with every letter typed, selection was narrowing, until I’ve got my word… fast as a bullet… This is great, and this goes straight to my bookmarks…

5 rules on becoming expert on web 2.0

Well, you really want to become an expert in new and hot technologies. So how do you do it?
5 simple rules are here, and if you follow them all, you’ll get your PhD in Web 2.0 Coolness in days…

  1. Learn all abbreviations, like AJAX, CSS, SOAP, Asynchronous and other cool web 2.0 words. Learn what they sound like, not necessarily what they mean. I don’t know what they mean, yet I write about them…
  2. Start a web Blog about them. In a few days you’ll have a bunch of addicts like me and You with comments all over, and in time, one of them will invite you to some IRC (another abbreviation, but not web 2.0… sorry) channel, where you’ll meet all bunch of happy experts in web 2.0 which know as much as you do about the subject in question.
  3. Start visiting web 2.0 sites constantly. It’s really a huge community network, much like the dating sites of the 90’s. I’m not going to tell you which they are, if you’ve finished rules 1 and 2, then you’ll already know…
  4. Leave comments on other people’s sites. It really just eats their bandwidth, but they shouldn’t be worried, especially if they’re experts like you and me, because they will use AJAX to reduce load on their web 2.0 pages, probably with simpler CSS, so they could earn some money…
  5. Start using all your previously learned abbreviations in you everyday talk: “I’ve tried to AJAX my page a bit, and all just ended with me trying to SOAP it up a little, by reducing CSS size. Did I tell you I’ve managed to asynchronously load just parts of CSS schema that I need?” - Just lovely, isn’t it???

You see, it’s easy. Now, go practise. Don’t waste your valuable time on this page. Go, Go, Go, but come back for updates…
