MyVGift.com Get FREE virtual giftsNovember 18

MyVGift.com is a new widget that allows the user to receive “Virtual” gifts from any visitor to their page.

How it works:
Anyone that wishes to leave you a gift can simply choose from the thousands (millions?) of items in the Amazon.com catalog.

The MyVGift.com site provides an easy to use Amazon search that gives you category and keyword options, helping to narrow down to that perfect gift. And best of all, you don’t have to leave MyVGift to search. It’s all done right on-site.

Once you find the gift you want to give, add it via the little icon on the far right and then customize it with a little note and your name (optional for Anonymous giving)

Each gift links to its respective Amazon.com page…in case you want to actually buy one.

The widget install:
Grabbing this widget and adding it to your blog or page is as simple as 1-2-3.
1. pick your style (Vertical or Horizo


AddToAny Stays Current As It Adds New FeaturesNovember 17

tmpB93

There is a lot of craziness with Widgets competing for Social Bookmarking and Quick Content Sharing. the most notable examples are of course the now Clearspring Owned AddThis  versus ShareThis. But the third biggest player that is  addtoany is not interested in that fight because they are not at the level to fight it . but they will give their best to keep a close 3rd place and not let other services surpass them or to risk losing users. in spirit to that. they have been updating their offerings with new features and a new look:

  • Visual update (tabs!)
  • Digg counts (real-time!)
  • Delicious counts (real-time!)
  • E-mail made faster/easier
  • Prioritize services
  • In-widget browser bookmarking instructions (for non-IE browsers)
  • More publisher options

Live Counter are not a new thing. they can be traced back to feedburner with their feedflares and to mid 2008 with ShareTh

Thank for your messages.

Korean Samsung T*Omnia SCH-M490 Not Only Got WM And TouchWIZ, It Is Also IncredibleNovember 6

Take this post as a simple “craving” and “gadget envy” related to widgets because it runs WM and it got TouchWIZ of course. but seriously.  i talked about T*Omnia getting insane features. this one enters into that category and it will be out this year over there:

The T*Omnia, also to be knows as the SCH-M490 with 4GB and SCH-M495 with 16GB of internal memory, features the same improved 3.3-inch WVGA (480×800 pixels) touchscreen ,a mobile TV receiver with satellite DMB rather than one-seg receiver that is used in Japan, a 5 megapixel camera with auto-focus and image stabilizer, WiFi, GPS, HSDPA, and Bluetooth support.

It is really insane stuff. for example you can have it with a 16gb SSD and add a 8gb MSD and have a 24gbs in your WM 6.1 that happens to have everything and even sports Satellite DMB TV and since it is Korea you can also have Teleconference Video Calls if you want to.. neat uh?
