Official Google Mobile Blog: Google Latitude, now with Location History & Alerts

by karlcow

People also want to know when their friends were nearby, but it's not always convenient to keep checking Latitude to see if a friend has recently shown up near you. After working on this for a while, we realized it wasn't as straightforward as sending a notification every time Latitude friends were near each other. Imagine that you're Latitude friends with your roommate or co-workers. It would get pretty annoying to get a text message every single time you walked in the door at home or pulled into work. To avoid this, we decided to make Location Alerts smarter by requiring that you also enable Location History. Using your past location history, Location Alerts can recognize your regular, routine locations and not create alerts when you're at places like home or work. Alerts will only be sent to you and any nearby friends when you're either at an unusual place or at a routine place at an unusual time. Keep in mind that it may take up to a week to learn your "unusual" locations and start sending alerts.

The Archivist - Save and Export Twitter Searches Before They Go Away

by Spone
If you have used Twitter search before, you may notice that you can only go back a certain amount of time and/or number of tweets for a given search. In fact, if you read the Twitter search documentation, you'll note that the folks from Twitter say, "We also restrict the size of the search index by placing a date limit on the updates we allow you to search. This limit is currently around a month but is dynamic and subject to shrink as the number of tweets per day continues to grow."

Lo Recordings

by Neewok

In 1975 before the release of the first Black Devil Disco Club album, Bernard Fevre released an album called ‘The Strange World Of Bernard Fevre’ and like the first Black Devil album it was so far ahead of it’s time that even now people struggle to believe it was really recorded over 30 years ago.

So crisp and inventive are the electronics, so haunting and eternal the melodies, it is as if this music has always existed. Now Bernard has once again unlocked his magical cabinet and made available new mixes of the original tracks along with previously unheard compositions.

The Berlin Wall: 20 Years Later - The Berlin Wall Through Time - Interactive Feature - NYTimes.com

by sbrothier & 1 other
SNAKING ALONG, cutting through fields and streets, yards and gardens, the 28-mile-long Berlin Wall stood as a border between East and West Berlin from 1961 to 1989. That all changed on Nov. 9, 1989, when an inexact translation, a confused border guard and a natural longing for a better life opened a hole in that wall that would eventually end the Cold War.

Dynamic Diagrams : Information Design Watch : The Virtue of Forgetting

by karlcow

Now today there are few human beings who, for biological reasons, cannot forget. What sounds like a blessing, they certainly do remember where they parked their car in a shopping mall. It turns out that they have tremendous difficulties in acting in time, in deciding in time, because they remember all their bad, failed decisions in the past, and therefore hesitate to make a decision in the present.

We’ve created the Experience History: Berlin 1961-1989 group, to give members the opportunity to share photographic memories of divided Berlin during this period. If you were living or visiting Berlin at that time, this is a wonderful excuse to rediscover your old slides and dust off those photo-filled shoe boxes that are lurking under your bed.

Mes photos sont en Normandie. hmmm il faut que je demande.

How to Hide Certain Custom Fields From the Edit Post Page | Apartment One Six

by mozkart
The WordPress developers, fortunately, thought of this.  In fact, they store all kinds of stuff that they don’t want the user to see in custom fields – things like the last time the post was edited, who is currently editing it, and a few others.  A quick look at the database, reveals this:Notice a trend?  The mysterious custom field key values are prepended with an underscore.  Give it a try – enter a new custom field from the edit-post page, and enter a name that starts with an underscore – like _thumbnail, or _meta_keywords.  Hit “Add Custom Field”, and it disappears – but if you check the database, its right where it should be. Now get out there and start hiding things from your users!

WordPress › Post Templates « WordPress Plugins

by mozkart (via)
It happens quite often that a blogger publishes posts or static pages on a regular basis which have the same structure. Think about for example a "picture of the day" daily post. With current wordpress state, we need to spend a lot of time doing copy/paste between posts instead of actually writing content. All the instructions for installation, the support forums, etc. can be found on the plugin home page. IMPORTANT: LICENSE CHANGE Since version 4.0.0, the plugin has become a commercial plugin. It can be ordered (for cheap) on the plugin home page. Version 3.4.x will remain available for download for free on the WordPress plugin repository. No further development will be made on this version.

Médias sociaux » Archive du blog » Un pas de plus vers le web social en temps réel avec Cliqset

by Nissone
" Frédéric CAVAZZA Un pas de plus vers le web social en temps réel avec Cliqset 4 commentaires Publié par Frédéric CAVAZZA le 2 octobre 2009 dans Actualité Depuis le rachat cet été de FriendFeed par Facebook et la publication du code source de Tornado, le serveur qui va avec, nous pensions que le créneau des services d’agrégation sociale était bouché. Que nenni car Cliqset ambitionne de changer tout cela avec sa nouvelle version qui vient de sortie en beta : It’s Here! Cliqset’s Real-Time Community. Pour faire simple, Cliqset est un service d’agrégation qui permet de compiler votre activité sur les différents médias sociaux (70 services en tout), de les retraiter en un format standardiser (Activity Streams) et de le rendre accessible (au travers d’API) dans un flux unique et temps réel."

Gentoo Optimizations Benchmarked | Linux Magazine

by greut

Although we are not comparing apples to apples, Gentoo did out-perform Ubuntu in almost every test, and sometimes by a fair margin. It does appear that optimizing for a specific CPU can yield a decent performance increase.

Of course, Gentoo offers benefits in other areas with their USE flags and being able to build a highly customized system. The question is whether the amount of time it takes is worth the benefit, and that’s a personal choice.

HTML5 and video in email - Blog - Campaign Monitor

by Spone
As momentum quickly builds behind HTML5, the new version of HTML and XHTML, we've had a close eye on what impact this might have on HTML email in the years to come. While the finer details of HTML5 are still being finalised, Firefox, Safari, Chrome and Opera have offered support for much of the new technology for some time.
