bitful

Here are the websites I bookmarked into my del.icio.us account over the past seven days:

• Facebook Source Code Leaked
  'This leak is not good news for Facebook, as it raises the question of how secure a Facebook users private data really is. If the main source code for a site can be leaked, then it can be said that almost anything is possible.'

• Leaked Vista SP1 analysed in-depth
  No new features (apart from a new maintenance application 'Create a Recovery Disc'), but overall better, speedier, increased performance.

• Tater Mitts
  The Innovative new kitchen gloves for perfectly peeled potatoes. Simply wub with a few quick strokes for a hassle free peeled potato. No knives involved. Might be useful - looks a bit creepy.

• Writeboard
  Online collaborative writing software, part of Backpack. No need to register, just enter a password and type. You get a URL and anyone with the password can edit content. Changes are tracked, each new version becomes a new item in an RSS feed.

• How to code a tag cloud
  'This code can be used to make a simple and easy tag cloud for your categories or tags on your own website or blog. It uses a simple mathematical sum to calculate a percentage for the font size of each tag and returns it in a XHTML-compliant inline list.'

• Retro MacOS Wordpress Theme
  A rendition of the monochrome MacOS from circa System 6, as a WordPress theme. Aww, the memories…

• Google Filters Torrents From Search Results
  'So, apparently one day Google decided that it is illegal in nearly every country of the world to host a .torrent file that (allegedly) links to infringing material. Strange, because there is no legal precedent for this decision in most countries.'

• YoName
  Find social network users by entering their name or username. YoName shows you the networks they belong to.

• Blogging is Dead (Long Live Value Blogging)
  Now that 'cat bloggers' have moved to Twitter and Pownce and Facebook, what's left in weblogs is of increased quality.

• Tim Gunn has not had a relationship since 1982
  This is the stuff my nightmares are made of: after nine years, his boyfriend told the fashion designer 'I don't have the patience for you. I can't do this anymore.'

• Eric Schmidt Defines Web 3.0
  Web 3.0 will be "applications that are pieced together" - small, fast and customisable apps that run on any device and (PC or mobile), and are distributed virally (social networks, email, etc).
