Try WEB 2.0 editor!

Why?

  1. It’s cool!
  2. It’s free.
  3. It’s possible to post to your own blog from it.

Get it here: Writely

 

This blog post was made from Writely and later corrected with MS Windows Live Writer.

P.S. I will not recommend it for everyday use. It has lots of problems and it’s still beta quality.

Over complicated browsing

Friday, September 1st, 2006

There is one Firefox extension that can convert it into a “semantic web browser”: Piggy Bank.

It’s about 5.5 MB and also requires Java. It provides another “view” to a web page by gathering some statistics and reformatting the page layout accordingly.

Didn’t quite get what is a purpose of all this “enhancements” but, nevertheless, I’m sure it’s a trend.
