Jaiku Gtalk机器人归来

今天上午jaiku的gtalk机器人突然跳了出来显示如下图所示的内容。自从jaiku百google收购之后就开始整合,导致机器人无法工作,现在看来整合还在继续中,今天gtalk机器人终于活过来了,纵观jaiku收购前后,不但在功能上没有多大的进展,反而让twitter抢占了先机,jaiku的chanel功能现在类似于friendfeed的中room,但jaiku相对于friendfeed还很单薄,不知将来会不会形成竞争态势。

jaiku目前还不支持https,所以只能翻墙访问,这比twitter就落后了不少了。此次机器人归来对于国内和我一样需要翻墙访问的网友来说无疑是个好消息,不要没完没了的翻墙了,一切在机器人中即可搞定了,输入SIGN IN 用户名 密码 一切就这样开始了。

WPS的口号是“拒绝黑屏,真免费”

wps 其实我一直都在用WPS2007,自从上月重装过系统之后一直没有再装了,因为没有用到office,最近又要开始office了,今天将系统集成的msoffice卸掉,下载wps准备安装,没想到一到官方网站就看到下图的标语,给人感觉有点怨气,开来金山这些年鳖的不轻,终于找到报酬的机会了。

 

相比较msoffice的标语也就不用在说什么了

事实上也是如此,自微软启动正版认证以来,wps下载量以50%的速度增长,官方也适时做出了惠民举动,号称1M下载速度。我在下载的时候也确实将近1M,比其他几个镜像下载都要快出许多。百度了一下office2007,出来的结果以往能下载到msoffice破解版的连接基本上下载下来的都是wps居多。照这样的趋势发展下去,wps夺回国内市场之日可待。

百度有啊开始beta

百度公司推出的C2C平台百度有啊正式上线,吵了几个月的百宝大战也拉开序幕。从页面注意到,百度有啊以绿色作为主色调,为的是要与橙色的淘宝和蓝色的拍拍网区别开来。百度打出的口号是“要购物,先百度”。百度有啊的支付工具平台百付宝也同时上线。和以往百度产品不同的是,此次两大产品均使用独立域名,http://mall.baidu.com已经指向百度有啊。经测试百付宝登陆只需要下载一个控件即可登陆管理,并不需要像支付宝那样的数字证书严格认证,操作起来方便许多,只是不知安全问题是否能得到相应的保障。另外功能上也比较单一,相比较支付宝上丰富的功能显得还是有点寒碜。

除此两打产品以外,商家和顾客的沟通工具百度hi也推出了有啊定制版本,这一点上要比腾讯做的更加细致,将娱乐和生意区别开来,如果不做生意只为交流即可下载hi原始版本。

ps:晚上20:40再上来看的时候域名已经全面转向了youa.baidu.com。其实在下午的时候我已经注意到搜索出来的商品的连接地址是mall.baidu.com开头,只是作了个跳转到youa.com。这么短的时间就开始调整,真不知道百度到底在干吗。

关于微软正版认证那些事

微软官方以及国内某部级部门发出通告,本月20日开始所有使用非正版windows xp系统的将被强制性每小时黑屏一次,office也将在工具栏上强制性加入盗版等字样。

微软这次是警告,而并没有强制性不让用户继续使用可能是基于国内实际情况的考虑,否则国内大部分办公将瘫痪,从而破换微软形象,甚至会导致民间抵触的事件。

关于此次时间公司网络部昨天已电邮每位员工,并附上解决之法,在谷歌博客搜索中排在第一的就是此次事件的博客报道,共有一百多篇,不乏有解决的方法,请大家自己去看吧,在这里就不再赘述。

正值此时间在全国传播,金山公司求伯君出来说了:绝不会像微软一样威胁用户,言下之意是说用我们WPS吧,还免费的。其实我一直都在使用WPS2007的,功能一点不逊色与office,关键是其免费,还能得到升级。说来wps也是微软盗版office的受害者,正是因为盗版使得office在中国深入人心,也是的微软敢撕毁和约,也是的金山现在不得不考虑兼容office的文件格式。相信此次之后WPS2007能换来第二春,支持国产。

friendfeed增加Real-time

打开friendfeed首页你会发现在右上角有有三个选项View: Standard - Real-timeBeta - Best of day,其中 Real-time就是新增加的功能,此功能有点像twitter的更新方式,即根据发布时间逆序排列,这和friendfeed原本显示方式是不同的,可以说是对原有项目显示方式的补充,而此页面并不需要手动刷新就会自动更新,并且还提供Open mini window,在小窗口中打开,看来真有点丰富版twitter的味道了,让你可以第一时间看到朋友的动态,发表自己的看法和message,只是mini版中并没有大仙post的地方,看来还有待改进。

百度有啊惊现首页,c2C即将上线

百度有啊为百度c2c网站中文名,域名为www.youa.com,今天输入域名已经可以访问,看来整站上线也将指日可待。百度的口号是“要购物,先百度”。取名有啊在昨天网上开始流传,一度被人嘲笑,没想到百度真的使用此名了,不知上次的投票选名意义又何在?

伤心网 shangxin001.com

此网站很明显在模仿开心网,连这样的垃圾域名也模仿,可为真是很到位。只是目前还在内测,填写表单可以获得内测资格,并不清楚网站内容是否也类似开心网的SNS期待一下。

Yupoo改版,学乖了?

今天突然有兴上yupoo来看看,想想也有好几个月没有上来了,自从那次的狗皮膏药事件之后就没上过了。终止合作之后放羊博客上的很多图片都被贴上了狗皮膏药。此次升级功能上没有大的变化,首页做了调整,刚已登录就发现左侧一个大大的标题“你有博客吗”,点开之后如下:

你有博客吗?

  • Yupoo和博客绝对是天作之合。首先设定你常用的博客服务,例如:blogger、movable type、wordpress、blogbus,或者任何其他服务,请确认你喜欢的文章布局风格,如果你懂html,你还可以将其修改为你想要的效果,然后在单张照片的页面左上找到那颗细小的“发布到博客”按钮,按一下就可以把这张照片发布到你的博客了。
  • 就像我们上面所说的,如果你已有手机相机和博客,那么只需一步就可以轻松地把手机内的照片直接发布到博客。如果还没有,请设定你常用的博客服务,然后去邮件设置页读取Yupoo为你生成的专用于博客发布的新邮件地址,并把它输入你的手机。
  • 你还可以将这些酷酷的照片放到你博客的侧边栏,设计你的Yupoo秀并把生成的代码输入你的模板。
我不知道这意义何在,难道是想修复与bloger们的关系吗,毕竟狗皮膏药事件让很多像我一样的bloger伤透了心。后发现在放羊博客上的以前贴了狗皮膏药的图片现在已经去掉了讨厌的狗皮膏药。如果真的是这样的话,确实让人感到欣慰,一直使用zuosa发布blog图片的日子可以考虑转一下了,不过有了这次的教训,指不定哪天又会取消外链之类的措施出台。

百度网络交易平台“发布”

百度的这个交易平台昨晚八点正式开启,地址http://mall.baidu.com 然而打开之后肯定要让你失望了。现在还没有完全开放,只有在百度招商http://zhaoshang.baidu.com/通过认证的用户才能使用。同时将上线的还有百度网络交易支付平台百付宝:http://www.baifubao.com。百度网络交易平台帮助手册:http://mall.baidu.com/static/help/ruzhu.html#n

至于何时完全上线,百度并没有给出时间,百度总是喜欢搞这种认证之类的东西,让人觉得很不舒服,以自己高高在上的姿态来做公司做产品其后果是可想而知的。目前百度已经遭到各方的排斥,其发展也将面临重重阻碍。

twitter再次改版

继上次twitter对界面做过大的调整之后,今天twitter再次改版,将原先的标签式导航栏移到右侧栏中,酷似前段时间的friendfeed beta版,不过最新的friendfeed beta版已经将侧栏移到了左侧。另外,头像下方的following等数字也改为横排。此次改版在功能上并没有发现大的改进,gtalk机器人依然没有复活。

官方详细说明

http://blog.twitter.com/2008/09/changes-afoot.html

 

We're getting ready to launch a refresh of parts of the Twitter.com interface. This release does not include any new features (well, one). It's mostly cosmetic changes. This post describes what we're doing and why.
Moving the tabs

The most significant change you'll notice on the logged-in homepage (/home) is that we've moved the tabs that were on the top of the timeline to the right sidebar. We did this for a couple reasons. For one thing, it makes them larger targets and easier to access. But more importantly, it was an investment in the future. We plan to have more tabs, and we'd run out of room putting them along the top. This was the driving factor for this redesign, but you won't see all the benefits until a future release (hopefully, very soon!).
Ajax for speed
When you click on the Home or @Replies tab when you're already on that page, the updates are now refreshed via Ajax, instead of loading the whole page, which should be faster.
Action icons: When you need them
At first you may wonder where the star and reply swoosh beside every update went. Hover over an update to see them show up.
Lighter, Prettier, Simplified
Besides hiding the icons until you need them, we've done many things to try and make the look of the page less cluttered -- like lightening the lines between posts and spacing things out more. Some things we've made smaller (like our logo), while other, more important things, we've made bigger (like the tabs and the Update button). Some things we've made the tough choice to get rid of all together (see below).
We've also done some things for pure aesthetic reasons -- like rounding some corners (which you won't see on Internet Explorer but will in Firefox or Safari -- or Chrome). In general, we think the site looks a lot better. Hopefully you will, as well.
New design customizer
For some people, this design probably does not look better. If you've customized your Twitter colors, it's possible you have a combination that doesn't look quite right with this new design. We did our best to maintain customizations in a pleasing way. But if, for example, you have a white sidebar or sidebar border color, it may not look quite right.
But good news! One new feature we've added is a completely revamped design customizer, which you'll find under Settings / Design.

With this tool, you can choose from pre-designed themes, as well as play with your color scheme and background and see the results in real time.
Removed Archive tab
In the interest of simplification, we've removed the "Archive" tab from /home which showed you your own updates. The reason is, it showed you the same stuff you see on your own profile page, it was oddly named, and people rarely used it. It didn't deserve the space it took. If you miss it, hopefully you'll get used to going to your profile page (which you can get to by clicking on your picture or the Profile link up top).
What we haven't done
This hardest thing about doing a redesign like this deciding what not to tackle. I'm fairly certain that much of the feedback to this will be, "What about...[your favorite feature request / annoyance]." Please be assured the changes we've made here aren't the only things we want to (or will) change. They're not even, necessarily, the most important. The scope of this project was limited to light-weight front-end work. We have whole other teams working on back-end changes and more fundamental functionality changes (which, as mentioned above, this is also laying the groundwork for).
Got feedback? Twitter us.
We'd love to know what you think. Please send your gripes, ideas, and praise (?) for the team. The easiest way is via Twitter (naturally). Just send an update starting with @twitter. Though we might not be able to respond to everyone, as usual, we'll keep a close eye on what you say.

另:微软的wallop社区已经宣布死在beta版里了。
