Social Networking

by rullzer on Jan.23, 2010, under Daily news, Linux, Site

After having resisted for a long time last week I finally created a facebook account. I still prefer e-mail or instant messages (jabber!) but I have to admit it is a nice way to get in touch with a lot of people and to follow activity.

So now that I have sold my soul I decided to create an extra box on the blog with direct link to my various social network profiles. Just to make it look pretty!

So far I am active on 3 social networks:

last.fm: I actually created my account in order to improve QtMPC, however it is now also coupled to my amarok and I upload the scrobble log from my ipod (with rockbox).
linkedin: I created this to join the OpenStreetMap group.
facebook: Now since a few days facebook.

Now I think that is (for now) enough to keep track of but it makes me wonder why there aren’t any good desktop apps to manage some of this. Like the facebook notification thingy at the bottom right. Why isn’t there a cool Qt app to just make this sit in the system tray? A well maybe a cool project for the upcoming semester

Thanks for your write-up on the vacation industry. I’d also like to add that if you are one senior contemplating traveling, it can be absolutely vital that you buy traveling insurance for elderly people. When traveling, golden-agers are at greatest risk of experiencing a medical emergency. Obtaining the right insurance coverage package for the age group can look after your health and provide you with peace of mind.
