Shortening with tinyurl.com or bit.ly

Either http://tinyurl.com/ and http://bit.ly/ are shortening your long URL address. Yet, I'd liked to see the name of the website before I enter the site. Yes they have "term of use", but I am used to identify the name of the website in advance then decide to go or not. For twitter it is necessary, but otherwise give me the whole full address please.

Chess mania

I hate chess, i love chess. A disease can not be cured.

Used to play in yahoo, but now more often in shredder computer chess. It's a PC chess program maker, but you can also play it online for free, no java, no flash, no rude players.

Good ways to learn more moves, tricks and to be careful on what you are guarding. Also available in google widget as daily puzzle, they call it.

I got surved

FlauntR found out my review on their product and post it with another FlauntR blogger on their blog.

It's FlauntR baby

Another excellent web based application. FlauntR offers a slick way to edit you pictures. It works astoundingly perfect with flickr and offers you to work on an apple-like GUI applications. An interesting feature is to be able to get the right size of your profile pictures on some of Network sites. It converts for example for Friendster, Blogger, Xing and many more. However, i am surprise that Facebook isn't there. I hope soon.

Check out my new profile picture for this blog. I edited just now by using FlauntR. It takes a very minimum skill of Photoshop. I also tried to be more creative and got to the picture of me on the Baltic see below.


Not too bad for unprofessional photoshoper, right. It reminds me of Picaso painting actually, although i can't find it on google what i have in my head. Anyway, once you edited a picture the option is then to save it on FlauntR, download it to your computer or save it directly in flickr.

Check it out and enjoy the advantages. It's really fun.

Screw social network websites

Yeah screw them. Look on how many of them i am registered: Friendster, Studivz, Xing/OpenBC, Facebook, Multiply, Linkedin, Pownce, Myspace, Tagged, Twitter, Unihelp and of course last but not least Blogger. Crazy hah!

Should not complain tho, but it's so time consuming and addicting. I feel like stalker sumtime. You know getting information of others secretly. It's not healthy, you know.

Anyway, as it's well known already, one should not give out too much information about himself on the internet. After the huge breakdown in the Facebook code and privacy concern in Studivz as well as in Friendster, you really need to think twice about publishing yourself.

An interesting article in wikipedia mentioned that social network websites can be used as investigation medium and could even be used against you in court. After all who would think to get sued because of the internet. Most of them think they are innocent, aren't they.

It's all a matter of good behavior and wise decision - on my opinion.
