LI Hacks

I’d like to quickly pass on this excellent hack for Inline Lists with IE. display:-moz-inline-stack; display:inline-block; If you put inline-block after -moz-inline-stack, then Moz will start using the “right” one when it supports it. IE supports inline-block, but only for elements that are natively inline. So, if you really want to use inline-block, you’re restricted to spans and strongs and ems, [...]

FT Plays Follow the Leader

It’s sad sight for a web-designer, and probably a pride-swallowing moment for the Editor of Financial Times website FT.com, when they are forced to quickly patch up their website to the standard of the new Guardian website. The Guardian website, from the point of view of a web designer, is immaculate.  The response from FT.com is [...]

Presidential Debates in Images

Source:BBC This is a great way to visualise a candidate’s campaign (assuming we believe the data-collection is accurate).  Naturally open to interpretation, but Joe seems to have really found a place in McCain’s vocabulary…

Google Chrome

It was inevitable, Google has entered the web browser field.   The web browser is our window onto the web, our window onto Google.  It’s simply a matter of self-preservation to have users using your own window, rather than have Microsoft close the shutters in the name of Security (for example).   After this there is only [...]

TwitterDirectory2000.com - A New Twitter Directory

What it does

Twitter Directory 2000 offers a new place for Twitter users to promote their Twitter profiles. The team behind it aims to give users more than just a directory listing. The idea is that they will identify people that will follow you back if you intend to follow them. A Twitter listing here also comes with a link to the homepage associated with the Twitter profile, a link to the RSS feed for profile updates, Google PageRank, and Google backlinks.

This Twitter directory touts itself as the one and only Twitter directory that hand picks the premium users from Twitter. This “premium” aspect is showcased by the fact that you must have at least 2,000 followers and be active within the last 30 days to get into Twitter Directory 2000.

The “Twitter Users of the Month” are spotlighted on the opening screen for all to see who are setting the paces, although the results are completely obvious (“TheEllenShow” and “THE_REAL_SHAQ” were the ones at the top when I checked it out, and they are not likely to be displaced sometime soon if you ask me).

Finally, it is important to mention that as well as listing users the directory includes categories such as “Twitter Apps” and “Twitter News” in order to make the whole experience a more comprehensive one indeed.

In their own words

“Twitter Directory 2000 – Find Twitter Users – Promote your Twitter profile.”

Why it might be a killer

Finding out who is who on Twitter is made all the more easy thanks to a solution such as this one.

Some questions

How many users are already featured? Which categories are the most active ones?

Specra.com - Search Multiple Engines At Once

What it does

Specra is a new search portal that lets you crawl the three major search engines on the WWW today at the very same time. That is nothing new. The good bit is that you can manually set down the degree of relevance that the results produced by each one of these engines will have. This is accomplished by moving a slider into position. Easy.

By default, Google is given the maximum weight (1000) and then Yahoo and MSN are given equal relevance (800 each). You can tweak these values at will as it was just explained, and if you want to go back to what things were before you can always click on “Default” and start again from scratch.

Summing up, if you are looking into ways of conducting searches in an unobtrusive (and customizable) way simply pay Specra a visit at the provided address, supply a query of your own or pick one of the provided samples and put it to the test in person.

In their own words

“Search many engines at a time.”

Why it might be a killer

The fact that it is so fast and direct gives it a (sort of) edge.

Some questions

Are there sites that play out a similar role when it comes to other search engines, or that provide a similar service to this one but with some differences?
