Introducing Gravatar Signup Encouragement

18 October 2009

Gravatar Signup Encouragement is my first publicly released plugin for WordPress. I got idea to write it after reading comments on post on Weblog Tools Collection titled “Why Is Gravatar Still Not Mainstream”. At that same day I made first version of plugin and posted link to it’s download page as comment on post waiting for responses but comment never appeared.

For last couple of weeks I was doing slow rewriting of plugin while adding new features and finally decided to release it publicly and to add it to WordPress plugin directory. You can now download it from here.

Google News soon in Serbian, Bulgarian, Romanian and Slovakian

4 October 2009

In March, I discovered (via Google Translate) that Google is testing localized version for Serbia. Half a year later, localized version is fully translated and snippets are showing on Google’s main search results page, but is not officially released.

By changing country and language codes, I discovered that localized Google News are also ready for Bulgarian, Romanian and Slovakian markets. You can see if there is a testing for your country and language by changing country and language codes in URL. For example, in http://news.google.com/news/search?um=1&ned=sr_rs&hl=sr&q=obama sr is code for language while rs is code for country.

I hope that Google will soon officially release these products, since now they lack some features like homepage, backlinks in top navbar from other Google’s products, ability to add new sources etc.

New AdSense Unit?

15 February 2009

Fourteen months ago, last post here was about new AdSense units that started that day. Later they became usual, but in that time they were new and interesting.

Now I again spotted some unit that I didn’t see earlier. It is something like slideshow of products of particular advertiser. It is not flash but normal JavaScript and it was on 250×250 unit, and it seems that it is on image ad, since after refreshing I always see images (there is that google_ad_slot not google_ad_type). Page where I saw it is here.

Full quality download.

Is this really new unit or it is new only for me? I searched on web and didn’t find anything about it.

BTW, I do plan to write something here, I already have some drafts, and also want to publish some WordPress plugins I made so I’ll use this website for it.

Video with scrolling AdSense Ads!

12 December 2007

While surfing on Net, on one page I saw AdSense feature which was new to me. I checked code and saw that is correct, so I immediately recorded video.

Later I found that others noticed this too, but nobody recorded video :) Google has added arrows and clicking on them scroll to different ads.

Update
: Since clip on YouTube is low quality, I uploaded original file with full resolution on DivShare.

I-See-You.Com

26 October 2007

I saw this movie last on TV and I want to recommend it to everyone. Even there are standard Holywood’s clishes and even movie didn’t get in US cinemas, I think it’s worth of watching (especially if you are one of Internet-addicted).
