Feedburner counters
This (from 2008):
Reminds me of (from 1993):
Definitely Web 2.0's version of the page-hit counter; definitely an easy way to make any professional-looking website look amateur.
Thanks Gmail (for adding more rubbish emoticons)
First, we had these humble smileys:
Then gmail decided to give us a little more "eye-candy". This was really "cute".
I think the square-faces were actually implemented at the same time. Thanks for the variety!
Now we have these ones. Thanks again! I can express my individuality now!
Why? Enough already.
Flickr modifies start page – and makes life harder
There used to be a "Recent activity" and "Comments you've made" link, which has since been replaced with a recent activity page which merges the two pages.
Here are 2 solutions.
If you have Firefox, and you prefer having the two separate links:
- Install Greasemonkey. This allows you customise the way a webpage displays using Javascript
- Install the Greasemonkey script (the link directly to the JS file is in the image-description)
Now you should have something like this:
In fact, all this script does for you is create 2 links right next to the Flickr logo with the following links (this will work without Firefox):
For recent activity
For comments you've made
So you could just bookmark those and avoid the Greasemonkey script all together.
