Google’s Android Could Learn From Yahoo’s Go!

Posted in Cool, Google, Web, Yahoo by max on the January 15th, 2008 at 3:35 pm

Remember my post on the Google Phone Operating System Android?

Check out this review of comparison between Google’s Android and Yahoo’s Go. Although they are completely different animals, (This guy is comparing an operating system to a web site.) it’s interesting how one giant is going for hardware while the other is shooting for software.

Go! is Yahoo’s attempt to deliver their content to multiple devices regardless of manufacturer or carrier, and you know what? It does a pretty good job of it. Go! 3.0 in it’s beta form fixed some issues with the previous version, but the biggest addition is the ability to add your own widgets from other sites, giving you more options to customize it to your liking. The more I used Go! the more I began to realize what I wanted out of Google’s Android. If you’ve never seen or used Yahoo Go!, it’s a program that you must install, then run on your handset. It essentially does away with the need to log onto Yahoo.com to access Yahoo’s content. Email, news headlines, stock updates, sports, and even a search engine are all included. I began to think “what if there was some way to make Yahoo Go! the backbone of my handset?” I would still need access to my phone book and contacts, but that shouldn’t be too difficult to implement.

I’ve summed up all the tech blog on Entrecard on SiteHoppin so you can use the following link to “site hop” tech blogs:

We will be doing a special, “Site Hoppin’” through all Entrecard tech blogs and (hopefully) get an interesting post per each one.

SiteHoppin’ 10K Baby!

Posted in Cool by max on the January 11th, 2008 at 8:13 pm

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:

SiteHoppin’ reaches 10K visitors!!!

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’

Blackle - The energy saving version of Gooooogle

Posted in Consumer, Cool, Earth, Energy, Funny, Web by max on the September 13th, 2007 at 1:53 pm

Blackle

Check out Blackle, it’s a Google-based search engine that supposedly saves energy by making the background black. But when I do searches, it seems to give you those limited results kinda like the Google search bar on Zedomax.com. I think all they really did is put a Google Search on a black HTML page. (Maybe we will make one to and get some traffic.

Blackle Traffic

Talking about traffic, check out Blackle’s web traffic! Blue is Blackle and red is Zedomax. Wow…

An all white page uses around 74 watts to display, while an all black page uses around 59 watts to display, so you can see that there is a saving there, no matter how little. However Mark Ontkrush of Eco Iron has done the math. Check out the results on this page.

Eco Seek the green search engine

Posted in Consumer, Cool, Educational, Funny by david on the August 7th, 2007 at 9:00 am

This is a great idea, we all know that eco friendly stuff is big business, so you would have thought that somebody would have done this sort of thing before, but never mind, the equilibrium has been restored and now there is ECO SEEK.

ecoseek

This is the search engine for all things green, sites are added by the site owners and by fans of each, a bit like the open directory.

So green is king and now green is the search king for all eco friendly searches.

Octopart is a search engine for electronic parts

Posted in Business, Circuits, Consumer, Cool, Educational, Gadgets, Microcontroller, Motor, Projects, Robots, Suppliers by max on the March 11th, 2007 at 8:21 pm

http://www.octopart.com/

Check out this octopart search engine for electronic parts. It seems to searching mouser, digikey, and other major electronic part companies for stuff.
The creator dropped out of school to make this so everyone please take a look!
P.S. I couldn’t find any Make controllers, Cublocs, or any controllers that are not being sold through the major suppliers… (maybe they can add them…)
