The next big thing

Javascript looks like continuing to be the big in thing this year, so I vaguely hope to add 3 neato features to various websites I run in the coming months.

  1. Lightbox for image display on OGN. (via Toby)
  2. SIFR for rendering titles on this blog, and maybe elsewhere. (via Chris)
  3. Finally, OGN should also be getting Google Maps integration, which looks like Oxford's, just as soon as the next version of OpenGuides gets released.

But enough asinine crap for now.

Yahoo tastes delicious

In a shocking-yet-inevitable move, Yahoo! have bought out my favourite multiplayer bookmark system. I still remember the initial excitement on IRC when Joshua set this up, and it feels quite odd to have been using the site through its whole growth, from fun idea to useful site to startup to web 2.0 phenomenon to Yahoo! acquisition.

On the one hand, it's nice to see that someone can still make money on the web by having a good idea and implementing it; on the other, the second the interface includes ads or requires me to have a Yahoo! ID, I'm out of there.

Flickr, I'm looking at you here.
