Moodboard Pro is a Killer iPad App

Posted in News, Review, Tweet This, Video, Web2.0 on 19. May, 2010

I just got this app and I have to say so far its cool. I’ll be doing a full video review of the app in a few days after i put it through it’s paces. From what i gather thus far it is very intuitive and easy to just jump right in and start futtin’ around getting creative.

I love all things design and this is no exception as Moodboard Pro has a very nice interface design. It seems as if they have a great understanding of the touch interface and it ergonomics.

Until I get my video of this great app up please take a look at the developers video:

Totally on a more patriotic note, the designer/co-creator of the app Kyle Tress, is a World Cup Skeleton athlete and a 2014 Winter Olympic hopeful. That alone make me want to buy this app as US athletes have to raise their own funds to be an Olympian. Check out his blog http://www.kyletress.com/

I’d say buy it now even if you don’t need it so you can help out this inspiring Olympian… well and because it is a great app. This one will surely end up on my home screen.

Yeah Opera Mini for the iPhone… Finally!

Posted in News, Tweet This, Video, Web2.0 on 13. Apr, 2010

Opera Mini for The iPhone

Opera today announced its popular mobile browser, Opera Mini has been approved for iPhone and iPod touch on the App Store. Opera Mini will be available as a free download within 24 hours, depending on market.

Opera Mini, with more than 50 million users worldwide, enables fast mobile Web browsing by compressing data by up to 90 percent before sending content to the device, resulting in significantly improved page loading. Users of the app will notice an uptake in speed, especially on slower networks such as the 2G Edge network. Surfing the Web with the Opera Mini App on iPhone and iPod touch will also help users save money because of its data compression capabilities. This will hold especially true while the user is incurring roaming charges.

“We are delighted to offer iPhone and iPod touch users a great browsing experience with the Opera Mini App,” said Lars Boilesen, CEO, Opera Software. “This app is another step toward Opera’s goal of bringing the Web to more people in more places.”

The Opera Mini App is available for free from the App Store on iPhone and iPod touch or at www.itunes.com/appstore/.

Hawaii Calls: Sending Some Aloha to Wetoku.com CoFounder David Lee

Posted in HowTo, Tweet This, Web2.0 on 11. Sep, 2009

Today I had a chance to speak with David Lee of Wetoku.com (play on the words We Talk) about his great new service that allows bloggers to record interviews and post them to their blogs.

According to David Wetoku for Bloggers can be used to produce recordings of interviews that can easily be embedded into many blogging platforms.  Bloggers can use their webcams to meet with someone interesting over the web, with no software to install.  The recording is immediately available, with embed code that can be pasted directly into a new blog entry.

The most intriguing feature for me is the speed and ease of the whole process. Record, copy the embed code and post and share. Since I post with Posterous it is wicked fast to get the interviews plastered all over all of my social properties.

Show some #Aloha by following @Wetoku on Twitter! http://twitter.com/wetoku and thanks to David you can sign up for the beta by being one of the first 100 bloggers to go to Wetoku.com and sign up for an account and enter DOCROCK as the Invite Code.

Much Mahalo to David and the staff at Wetoku.com and I look forward to rocking this little jem of a WebApp for many interviews to come. I wonder if I can get Megan Fox to do an Wetoku Interview.

Hurry stop reading this and go sing up and start interviewing.

#Aloha

We made it on WeToku’s Blog

Posted in HowTo, News, Tweet This, Web2.0 on 09. Sep, 2009

Lanai and I did an interview on how to do an interview just playing around and testing out this great new service call Wetoku. Check us out on Wetoku’s Blog

This great idea was created by David Lee(@davidyhlee) and James Lee(@_James_Lee) allows blogger to place recorded video interviews on their sites.  What an excellent way to interact with your readers, do some training of your team, practice your Pinyin, Hangul or Nihongo.  The service is in private beta for now and once I get my hands on some invites I’ll share the Aloha. For now the best way to get invited it to follow @Wetoku, @davidyhlee, @_James_Lee, @docrock and @lanaithedj on twitter.

I’ll be recording more interviews soon so keep checking the twitterverse to see who in next. If you have something cool you want to show me let me know I’ll put you on too.
#Aloha

HOW TO: Get Rid of Annoying Facebook Notifications

Posted in HowTo, Tweet This, Web2.0 on 19. Aug, 2009

This isn’t a new feature, but I’m always amazed at how many people simply endure thousands of notifications and updates from applications and pages, without ever bothering to simply turn them off. Here’s a couple of ways to do it.

Click on the “Notifications” buttom at the bottom right corner in Facebook. Click on “See All.” On the right, you’ll see a long list of every application that sends you notifications, and you can turn them off by unchecking them. Be careful, Facebook’s own applications which are probably useful to you, such as feed comments, are also on the list, so you’ll probably want to leave them checked.

facebook_notifications

Alternatively, in the small notifications roll-up window on the bottom right, an “x” will appear as you hover the mouse pointer over individual notifications. Clicking on it will remove any further notifications from that application.

Finally, for additional fine tuning, you can click on Settings in the main menu, then on “Application Settings”. Choose “Authorized” from the drop down menu. Many applications actually have quite a lot of privileges. For example, some are able to “Access my data even when I’m not using the application,” “Send me emails” and
“Publish recent activity to my wall.” From here, you can turn all of those off without actually removing the application.

facebook_apps

Now, you can do the same for Updates. Click on “Updates” in the menu on the same page (you can reach the page by clicking on “Inbox” from the main menu), and then click on “Updates Settings” on the right. From there, you can control which updates you receive. Save changes, and you’re done.

That’s all! Enjoy your new, nag-free Facebook.

Please send this to all your friends they will thank you. especially if they are not the most tech-savvy.

Do you constantly have 99 new notifications, marked with the little red button at the bottom right in your Facebook account? Would you like to only receive important notifications, such as comments from friends, and skip the stuff various applications send you? Read on.

Posted in News, Web2.0 on 02. Jun, 2009

Facebook, Inc.
Image via Wikipedia

Facebook will soon be allowing all users to claim a vanity URL pointing to their regular profile page, we’ve heard from a reliable source. The announcement should come sometime later this week. Afterwards, at a certain date and time, the landrush will begin. Users will be able to grab a vanity URL of their choice.

The Landrush rules will prohibit trademark infringement and a lots of words will be blacklisted, such as generic terms. But for the most part, we hear, users will be able to grab a name that they like.
