Got this info from one of myanmar bloggers I visited last nite. (I’m sorry which blog exactly I seen it from)

A new google features in testing stage. You can sign up for the invitation. I don’t use spreadsheets often but I bet it’s useful for some of you.
You can check it out here: Google Spreadsheets. (updated the link*)

This is really something…I’m checking out mayvelous and a few other sites in graph format.
This “website as a graph” site (via: weblog tools collection) generates a graph format for your websites or blogs. You just have to type in your site url and it’ll create node based sitemap graph.

Check the formation effect as well, really cool one. Something like chemistry molecular structure of your website showing links, tags, images etc in different colors.

What do the colors mean?
Blue: for links (the A tag)
Red: for tables (TABLE, TR and TD tags)
Green: for the DIV tag
Violet: for images (the IMG tag)
Yellow: for forms (FORM, INPUT, TEXTAREA, SELECT and OPTION tags)
Orange: for linebreaks and blockquotes (BR, P, and BLOCKQUOTE tags)
Black: the HTML tag, the root node
Gray: all other tags

Check out the difference between my two sites, mayvelous vs 7ven.net. See there is no red dots in mayvelous. Yah cool isn’t it? Tableless. All thanks to the squible theme developers hehe. Well, I’m planning to revamp 7ven.net soon with proper webstandard.(when I feel like it, which probably never LOL)

I’ve checked out one of my favorite sites, Fijitimes.com and it generated some cool graph for it. My bro tried google.com and the results is as followed. I was hoping lots of nodes to be generated from google but to my dismay only few nodes there, my bad, I was mistakened by google search results as site structure. Google site by itself is a very small one.

Some of the cool graphs can be found here. It’s a flickr tag page which collects all the images tagged with “websiteasgraph” keyword.

So you can check out your own sites to see in graph format and upload it to flickr tag with “websiteasgraph”.

I’m abit disappointed in Flickr. Don’t take me wrong. I love flickr and its amazing service. I’ve been trying to buy pro account since I got lots of photos up in my free account which like to organize them with proper photo sets.

What you get:

• 2 GB monthly upload limit
• Unlimited storage
• Unlimited bandwidth
• Unlimited photosets
• Permanent archiving of high-resolution original images
• Ad-free browsing and sharing *

Which account would you like?
– A 1 year account (US $24.95), or
– A 2 year account (US $47.99)

The problem is, when I try the payment processes, everything is fine except for the country part where there is no “Fiji” to choose from.
I could leave it as default “US” but my credit card address below would be “Fiji” and it’ll be confusing…

They do have an option to pay offline via cheque or money order I think, but it will take a while to process and I don’t like to send my money like that and wait. Well, abit of user unfriendliness in payment process which put me off from buying the pro account.

I don’t understand why they can’t add all countries in the country drop-down list. They’re thinking people from Fiji can’t buy or something? Well just a bit of disappointment to see the third world countries are not included. So sad!.

Just notice there is a few makeover on my flickr account.
They’re now in Gamma stage (which I don’t know what exactly mean) and done some neat layout there.

Beta » Grandma Gamma » Omega » Yada Yadar…

They’ve added those top dropdown menus and also placed the photo sets to the right. Alot neater.

Oh yah yesterday skype announced that there will be free skypeOut to landlines and mobiles in US and Canada, till 31st December 2006.
Why not others? Australia atleast. C’mon Please!

So that’s my aside news…oh yah one more news, I broke my glass and I went blind.

I’ve been using this widget for a while and haven’t write about it. All thanks to Jason who used it in one of his project and forwarded me the link.

mapsurface is a web page activity widget that helps you quickly see how people find, navigate and value the pages of your web site. Press Alt X

Its purpose is to provide an understanding of how users find, navigate and value web pages. It displays this information in a compact widget which sits above the web page. Andy Budd has written anexcellent review which is worth reading.

It’s very easy to implement and interesting to test out, you just need to add a line of JS script in your header section. You have to request for the trial invitation cos’ it’s still in a test drive.

It’s good for a site with lots of hits/visitors so that you can see the activities properly. My site stats won’t be that interesting.
Still I like it, pretty cool stuffs.

Just press Alt X keys and you’ll see the widget pop up. More interesting this is, once you click on “map”, it shows the click through links across the page.

Well I’m loving it and you guys can test it out too so better request invite from mapsurface.com.

So am I imagining or lately people tend to get hungry alot? I’m seeing two new cool sites and they both using food stuff in their logo.
