eBible Invitation

Got my eBible invite today. Came with three more invites to give out. The functionality is very nice. You can choose which version of the Bible, or concordance to use as default. Tags are what I was guessing would be a big feature, and it is. You can find a verse, tag it and other people can locate you through your tagging and commenting. Pretty cool. I’ve been waiting for something like this for a while. Could have really used this in University when I was taking Bible classes!

I have two more invites to go to those who really need them.

Vimeo WordPress Plugin

I have in the works a Vimeo WordPress Plugin. This will function similiarly to my Picasa Web Matrix plugin in that it will show small 60×60 thumbnails and display them in a matrix of your latest added video clips in Vimeo. Keep checking back for updates on the plugin page.

Picasa Web Albums

Picasa Web Albums

This is basically Google’s version of Flickr. I just got my invite to it today along with my sister. We’re uploading pictures as I type. The basic features are:

  • 250mb of free storage (which is a great amount for free!)
  • $25/year upgrade to 6gb of storage (which is also great)
  • You can add favorites to your account and there’s a latest activity box that shows all the latest uploads
  • User commenting on each picture
  • NO SUB ALBUMS (a feature i wish Flickr and this new service had)
  • Integrates with your google account. For instance, when you “share” an album you can start typing the name of the person you want to send it to, and it will automatically bring up the person via your gmail contacts
  • You use the new version of Picasa to batch upload. Very nice interface, easy to use.
  • User icons
  • You can specify Public Gallery or Private Gallery
  • Sorts albums according to capture date using exif data

The way I got my invite was I just gave them my email. Took about 4 days, and I got my invite. Visit the site here: http://picasaweb.google.com/

Free Compatibility Screenshots

A cool service I found online, especially if you have a PC and want to check compatibility on a MAC. Capture a screenshot from Safari, or IE7 from any computer for free.

Google Browser Sync

Been waiting for a tool like this for a long time!

Google Browser Sync for Firefox is an extension that continuously synchronizes your browser settings – including bookmarks, history, persistent cookies, and saved passwords – across your computers. It also allows you to restore open tabs and windows across different machines and browser sessions.

Google Browser Sync is completely automated. The settings you select at startup are automatically synchronized across each of the computers on which you install Browser Sync. You won’t even need to log in every time you start the browser. You can change which browser components are being synced – or even stop the syncing process entirely – using the settings panel in the upper-right corner of the page. The settings panel also gives you access to your PIN.
