3 Ways to Share Flickr Photos In Facebook

As Flickr paid users, I prefer to keep all photos in Flickr. There are few reason why I prefer Flickr instead of the likes of Picase or even Facebook itself, but I do like the idea of sharing my Flickr photos with my Facebook friend. There are few ways to achieve that, and it is pretty easy.

1. Official Flickr-Facebook Integration.

The official connection means simple. Here is how doing it, courtesy of one Flickr member, Ivan Walsh.

1. Go to your account (http://flickr.com/account?tab=extend)
2. Activate the link (you may be asked to login if you are not already).

Once you’ve done that, your latest Flickr uploads will be added into your Facebook News Feed and Mini-Feed. Here is how the sample of how it looks like.

Receiving Some Else Email address? That’s Because Gmail Doesn’t Recognize Dots As Characters

gmail Receiving Some Else Email address? Thats Because Gmail Doesnt Recognize Dots As Characters

I have been copied in one lengthy email last week from unknown sender. I thought it is spam email, so I waste no time flagging it as spam. But  I found out when I check the spam folder later, other recipients in the email start replying to each other and it become quite long threaded email. So what’s going on??Why am I copied in this email??

It appears that the email was incorrectly addressed to me. The reason is the dots (.) in the email address.

Apparently Gmail doesn’t recognized dots as character in your email address. It’s quite funny considering that dots is widely used in corporate email address. Here is Gmail explanation on this when I click the ‘learn more’ button.

Gmail doesn’t recognize dots as characters within usernames, you can add or remove the dots from a Gmail address without changing the actual destination address; they’ll all go to your inbox, and only yours. In short:

  • homerjsimpson@gmail.com = hom.er.j.sim.ps.on@gmail.com
  • homerjsimpson@gmail.com = HOMERJSIMPSON@gmail.com
  • homerjsimpson@gmail.com = Homer.J.Simpson@gmail.com

Do You Yemmz?

yemmz Do You Yemmz?

It is not everyday we can witness new social website emerged here in Malaysia, particularly from large company.   Yemmz, the new social website owned by TM is another attempt to build online social community, taking opportunity of our ‘craziness’ toward social networking. But how far can it go?

Yemmz itself is nothing new to some who follows the TM closely. It has been around since Nov last year based on some of early blog post that can be found from search engine. The news circulating on the net stating that it will be officially unveiled this March.

Over that past few years, TM has been busy rolling out it’s HSBB project, aim to upgrade broadband quality and service in Malaysia. Part of the project is also to develop and deliver contents to the end users, together with selected partners.

Yemmz could be a small part of the project that TM hopes to kick it off, along with major part of HSBB project, which is the broadband service itself. By positioning Yemmz as part of HSBB, Yemmz could gain some popularity from the publicity that HSBB earned when the project finally unveiled to the end users this year on certain areas.

Yemmz itself is just typical social networking website. If you familiar with Facebook or Friendster, you can master Yemmz in a day or shorter than that. At a glance, Yemzz seems to have all recipe it needs to success, except the sustainability . Trying to be different from established social networking websites, it does offer forum and marketplace which seems open to every members.

It is best to test it to it’s full extent to conclude if Yemmz is worthy option to established social websites.  One thing for sure, mammoth task is waiting the Yemmz team to grows this website bigger.
