Yang baru Dari NgeShout & Kronologger

Dua startup yang sangat aktif dalam pengembangan belakangan ini, dua startup yang sama-sama memilih konsep microblogging .. Kronologger, dan NgeShout. Meskipun terbilang baru, namun NgeShout ini termasuk startup yang paling produktif lho, bayangkan … dalam sebulan ini saja sudah ada 4 plugin rilis dari NgeShout. Sagad memang tergolong programmer yang giat bekerja *halah* dengan rilisnya 4 plugin untuk ngeshout yaitu plugin untuk Firefox, plugin NgeShout dengan Javascript, PHP, Adobe Air, dan rilis terakhirnya adalah plugin WordPress yang diberi nama ShoutSuite. Plugin ini sebenarnya pengembangan dari plugin wordpress sebelumnya, dengan ditambahkan beberapa fitur lagi di versi yang baru ini.

Plugin ini nantinya akan mampu menampilkan

  1. My Shouts : berisi daftar shout terakhir
  2. Most Shouted : berisi blog kamu yang paling banyak di shout
  3. My Favourite Shouts : shout favourite kamu
  4. Recently Shouted : Tulisan terakhir yang di shout

Mau coba? Silahkan unduh disini. Lalu install plugin ini layaknya instalasi Plugin wordpress normalnya. Setelah di-activate, anda bisa melakukan pengaturan dari halaman Setting > Shout Suite dan costumize optionsnya sesuai kebutuhan anda.

Tak mau ketinggalan, KukuhTW -Developer Kronologger- juga kemarin mulai menyebar buzz mengenai aplikasi desktop dari Kronologger. Screenshot prototype aplikasi dari platform .NET ini kemarin dirilis oleh KukuhTW melalui Twitter dan Plurk.

SMS & IM di YahooMail

Yahoo Mail telah meluncurkan fitur terbaru untuk SMS dan IM (Instant messenger) yang mengijinkan pengguna untuk mengirim pesan ke mobile phone, atau chat langsung dari halaman YahooMail. Fitur ini telah tersedia di Yahoo Mail versi terbaru, dan jutaan pengguna yang masih menggunakan Yahoo Classic akan lumayan terhibur dengan adanya tambahan fitur ini.

Fitur ini memang sangat bagus, meskipun kompetitornya GMail sudah memiliki fitur ini cukup lama. Setidaknya ada effort dari Yahoo untuk mengejar ketertinggalannya. Namun entah mengapa semua fitur baru tersebut belum cukup kuat untuk membuat saya pindah ke Yahoo Mail. Fungsi standard web-based email di Yahoo masih banyak kelemahan dibandingkan dengan Gmail, seperti masalah spam filtering yang sangat mengganggu. Dan juga masalah load yang cukup membuat frustrasi, at least tidak sebaik GMail.

Hal ini membuktikan, you don’t have to be a pioneer to be a winner.

PayPal Bergabung Dengan OpenID

Open ID Foundation kedatangan seorang tamu yang sangat spesial. Bukan sembarang tamu, melainkan anggota baru yaitu, Paypal. Nah, ini tentunya merupakan berita yang sangat menggembirakan karena Paypal diketahui menjadi salah satu pemimpin terdepan di barisan penyedia layanan yang super duper amat sangat secure alias AMAN. Dan sebagai platform identifikasi online, tentunya keamanan menjadi faktor krusial untuk OpenID.

Hal ini bukan serta-merta berarti kita dapat login di PayPal menggunakan OpenID, tentu saja bukan. Namun, hal ini berarti suatu saat nanti, OpenID dapat berkembang menjadi sebuah platform canggih yang sangat aman dan bisa dipergunakan untuk transaksi yang aman pula. Demi mendukung gagasan ini, Paypal bergabung dengan OpenID sebagai salah satu anggot Board of Corporate Member dan juga menyumbangkan dana sebesar US $50.000 tiap tahunnya untuk pengembangan OpenID.

Paypal sendiri menunjuk Andrew Nash, Direktur Manajemen Resiko Informasi sebagai perwakilannya di OpenID. Selain PayPal, beberapa perusahaan seperti Google, IBM, Microsoft, VeriSign, dan Yahoo sudah terlebih dahulu menjadi board member di OpenID Foundation.

Video : Sejarah Internet

Pengen tau sejarah terbentuknya internet? Gak usah repot-repot baca buku supertebal dengan teori TCP-IP yang njelimet. Cukup dengan melihat beberapa video pilihan dari Daily Social, semoga langsung ngerti tanpa pusing dan masuk angin. Sebelumnya mohon maap untuk para fakir bendwith, post ini isinya full video jadi mohon maaf kalo menghabiskan bandwith.

GMail Bisa Diakses Offline

Tim Gmail hari ini melalui blognya, mengumumkan fitur baru yang dikerjakan oleh Tim Google Labs yang amat produktif. Banyaknya feedback yang menginginkan Gmail bisa diakses offline seperti Google Reader rupanya masuk akal dan langsung dikerjakan oleh Tim Gmail.

Hari ini pun fitur itu dilepas dibawah bendera Gmail Labs (baca:experimental). Fitur ini menggunakan engine dari Google Gears untuk menyimpan data secara offline dengan mendownload cache file dari email anda. Jadi ketika anda kehilangan koneksi internet, anda tetap dapat mengakses Gmail.com dan membuka email-email anda. Meskipun offline, anda tetap dapat melakukan kegiatan email layaknya online seperti favorite, label, dll. Anda bahkan dapat mengirim email secara offline, namun email anda akan benar-benar terkirim begitu anda terkoneksi kembali.

Seperti biasa, untuk mengaktifkan fitur ini anda cukup masuk ke menu Settings >> Labs. Lalu klik ‘enable’ pada baris ‘Offline Gmail’, lalu tekan tombol ‘Save Changes’. Jika berhasil, maka akan muncul link ‘Offline’ dibagian kanan pojok atas disebelah username anda. Lalu untuk memulai caching email anda ke lokal, anda terlebih dahulu harus menginstall Google Gears.

Selamat mencoba!
