Stumbleupon launches its Toolbar-less browsing feature, of course, it seems that they have picked on our ideas from SiteHoppin, which is originally based on Toolbar-less browsing.

You can test both out yourself and judge which one is better, I still think my SiteHoppin rocks over SU’s new toolbar-lessness.

Test out SU Web Version

Test out SH Web Version

Another great news that I should be telling the world is that SiteHoppin will become the first “open-source” platform.  (that will be released under GNU license as a MediaWiki extension.  You can stay updated on that on my MediaWiki page)

The reason I am going open-source is to open the development of SiteHoppin to the world, just like Google Android, Google Chrome, etc…etc…

Besides that, I don’t have whole lotta time to develop SiteHoppin anymore, it takes me all day to code the site.  It would be great if I can share my knowledge to the world and also have other developers contribute to the “knowledge”.

But first, we will be going through an “image” change from beers to something more appropriate.  We have been messing around too much and partying it up but we should be back in full-force with some open-source code and official “launch” as we are still in beta for last 10 months.

What you should really do the next time you fly to Las Vegas is to pack one of these Beer Belts so you can play at the BlackJack tables without worrying about almost-naked waitress ladies to ask you if you want another drink.  Better yet, order 6 beers at a time, that way you have more ammo to go longer.

In any case, the Beer Belt certainly has more uses than your typical, geeky PDA belt.

Ever feel too lazy to get up and grab some beers and sodas from your cooler at the pool?  Then get this RC controlled Remote Control Cooler!

It’s hot…you’re thirsty…but this cooler full of icy drinks is at the other end of the patio. No problem—just grab the remote and steer it over to your chair! It’s the world’s first radio-controlled cooler!

SiteHoppin’ is a new social bookmarking site, combining some of the popular features of sites like StumbleUpon or del.ici.ous, with a few unique twists.

At SiteHoppin’, users can discover new and interesting sites quickly and easily with the site’s simple interface. Sites are broken down into categories and by tags for even easier browsing of sites you might enjoy. In addition to browsing sites in the SiteHoppin’ system, users can also rate each one on a scale of 1 to 5 beers. The scores are tabulated and the highest rated sites appear on a special “Most Popular” page.

SiteHoppin’ is built on a heavily modified version of the popular wiki software MediaWiki and is also compatible with a variety of mobile browsers (so you can SiteHop from the comfort of your shiny new iPhone).

User Benefits While anyone can use SiteHoppin’ to hop around to different sites you’ll probably want to register for an account. When you make a free account at SiteHoppin’ you get access to features regular visitors do not. Registered users can bookmark their favorite sites and share them with their friends, leave site reviews for visitors to see and have SiteHoppin’ remember all of your SiteHops so that you never see the same site twice.

Site Owner Benefits If you run a website it’s definitely worth registering with SiteHoppin’ and submitting your site, blog or articles into the system. As a site gets more beer votes it will rise in popularity and lead to more traffic. This is another opportunity to cash in on the viral marking and social networking traffic explosion happening online today.

While it is new, SiteHoppin’ is still a unique and interesting player in the social bookmarking scene. Anyone interested in an easy and fun way to find new web sites or those of you looking for new ways to promote sites of your own should give SiteHoppin’ a try.

Wow, this is simply something I’ve never done, make a website and then make it get over 10,000 UNIQUE VISITORS within 11 days.

Check this out:

Wow, we haven’t really hit 10K yet, but we got 9,991 and it’s still 10:01PM baby.

We are excited as hell like couple days ago when we reached 6,953! But, the day right after my birthday, my new site, SiteHoppin’ took off crazier than any sites I’ve ever made AND one of my best college buddies Billy Hendrix’s girlfriend, just had a boy baby this mornin’! Well, I am not gonna lie to you, my kid’s comin’ up next month, but THIS is really cool.

I wanna shout out to all the supporters out there expecially Studio Equipment, who has been always on top of what we do here at Zedomax.com.  Umm…it’s really hard finding great friends on the internet you can really trust but Studio Equipment is just the guy there to communicate with you on a personal level and you just “feel” that sorta thing.

Thanks again Studio Equipment, you’ve been helluva help to Zedomax and you added so much positive input, I can’t thank you more. :p

He’s always been helpin’ us to be more positive and keep workin’ hard to reach our goals, it’s a “feel” thing. Thanks dude, that means a lot whether that’s comin’ out from my heart, or I am just insanely crazy.

Without readers like Studio Equipment, Zedomax would be dead. Thanks a LOT!

How is SiteHoppin’ takin’ off help Zedomax? Well, first of all, you “control” the traffic on SiteHoppin’. That means, you can direct traffic to any website you want to including you own. Well, we’ve seen results so let’s just see how well it does for the next couple weeks.

P.S. Our target is to become as big as Google or even bigger. I know, they have a founder who graduated from Stanford and everythin’, but we have a core developer who can catch a golf ball 21 times. Lol…okay, if we can just reach 1% of Google, we’d probably be happy.

Still using the big old Google algorithm? Dump it and start using our own search engine based on “Beer” rankings. That’s right, you get to rate the sites with beers and also get fu()ked up during that time. Get your SiteHoppin’ goin’ here…

P.S.2. We are expecting to reach above our maximum ranking on Alexa tomorrow so watch out! At least I can tell you I told you so if I am right about this…

UPDATE:

While I was writing this post, we reached 10,091 UNIQUE VISITORS!!! HOLY CRAP!

Alright thanks y’all for supporin’ SiteHooppin’. We are in a “drunkey” mood tonight and here to celebrate my birthday too, which was lasterday.

Let’s just hope our hacking continues and we keep risin’

My blogger friend Gyutae is having a contest for T-shirts and $100 in cash. All you gotta do is pick the right winner and write a blog post about it. (It seems like there’s so many contests these days, you could probably make a living just entering all of them)

My vote goes to Gyutae’s Winning the Web since he’s always coming up with new contests. He’s blog got a big 200 RSS reader jump from his contest on JohnChow.com and JohnCow.com. (Amazing!) (You should take look at Bloggin-Ads.com by Mike too, he picked up about the same in about the same period! I think these 2 bloggers are really growing their blogs explosively. I remember when Zedomax started out almost a year and half ago and I had 200 RSS readers in like 1 year, not just couple months.)

Why am I posting this? Well, honestly, I can’t even afford a T-shirt right now as I invested all my money in SiteHoppin.com. (Well, for the beers I need to drink to be drunk to develop the site…right, it’s like the Drunken style in Kung Fu, you can’t master the art without actually putting yourself in it) I wanna win a T-shirt so I can go wear it proudly in downtown San Francisco. (j/k… I’ve been in front of a computer for so long for last couple months, I don’t even know the last time I went shopping…)

The real funny part is picture from TylerCruz here:

• Follow a set posting schedule
  Following a set schedule will help your readers connect to your blog and learn when to expect new posts. This usually means more subscribers to your blog.
• Provide great content
  In the end, it’s all about great content. Without it, all of your marketing efforts will fall short of meeting your goals for feed subscribers. Make this a priority and the subscriptions will come.

In the end, I think Gyutae is winning the web by far. You can tell by looking at his blog and the number of subscribers he has picked up within the last month or so. This blog should be exploding by next month if it isn’t already.

It’s like a person who sees other people as hate figures, and yet as it turns out the homerphone is indeed what it says, the latest funny gadget from the home of the Simpson’s.

This phone would be the standard item, which is if it was not for Homer Simpson sitting in his favourite arm chair ready no doubt to watch the TV before falling asleep after a few beers.

This phone will brighten up your days because a when a call comes in it is Homer that calls out to you when the phone should be ringing.

Priced at around $62

I found this site on digg last night while having some beers with my friends and twitting all night. My friends and I were laughing so much playing this game. It’s a lot of fun.

Anyways, check out this cool typing game where you can test how fast you type and also it’s very good for improving your typing speeds. I came to be about 43wpm. What’s yours?
