Just activated the new features for the Disqus blog commenting system I use on here.  First up is support and integration of the very cool Seesmic video commenting (please feel free to try it out). Apart from the video commenting capabilties Seesmic brings to the table there’s another side to it as well. It also has a social networking aspect to it can be described as blend between Twitter and Plurk only that it’s video based instead of text. Second thing I added, even though it’s not equally as exciting but yes so useful, is Trackback URL.

Today the much anticipated third version of Firefox was released. Personally, I have always been a Safari kind of guy but after playing around with Firefox 3 tonight I’m starting to lean the other way. One really cool feature you sould be on the lookout for in the video is tagging of sites when adding them as bookmarks. Extremely convenient.

Watched this video embedded above by a guy that makes great informational videos of new software updates and such and he really convinced me. The assortment of add-ons is crazy and one really cool is this one. It’s called FireNes and it allows you to play around 2500 Nintendo games, without the need to download anything. Not even an emulator or any roms.

PR beginner

My sister reflects over her quickly approaching career as PR professional with Edelman in London.

carolinedrewniak:

The one thing I have mostly been looking forward to this year has been my much anticipated move to London to start work at Edelman.

Applying for graduate jobs takes some blood, sweat and tears, but applying for PR jobs takes…. well a little bit more.

Firstly, it is insanely competitive. From 500-1000 people apply for schemes that will only take up to 5-8 people if even that many.

Secondly, the skills needed are of a person who in a sense is a social miracle worker, a multi-tasking brilliant middle-man and of course also an excellent and quick writer, speller, bursting with ideas.

Third, despite the stiff competition, the initial (let’s hope) pay is not very stiff itself.

Some people say it is only glamorous, that two days never are the same and that you mingle until you need vaseline inside your mouth to keep your smile from drying. This is why work experience is crucial so someone can burst the bubble for you - PR is also hard work, dedication, if you need to stay past 5 you will stay and you won’t be a moaner but always a teamplayer.

I have no doubt it will be tough but what I am mostly looking forward to is continuing to develop all the skills that are needed to stay in play.

My impression is that PR teaches you to be firm with people, to dazzle them with your passion and interest for their account, to deal with a lot of different people at once and to pretty much always get what you want.

Hola muchachos!

Digg is without a doubt the social news site/social bookmarking site I use most the most. It’s got a sweet look and feel, a great community filled with competent quality contributors and then of course: Diggnation.

In the video above, founder of Digg, Kevin Rose, and Jay Adelson, CEO of Digg, discusses the future of their wicked social news site. 

Rose mentions that their rolling out something that sounds like a new personalization system for their users that recommends similar stories to what you have previously dugg. In other words, basically a collaborative filtering a’la Amazon feature. For a huge site like Digg with so much content something like this would probably, at least in my case, increase the stickiness of the site enormously and make the process of finding stories more convenient. It’s will probably also be a new way for users to discover stories they might not otherwise because they haven’t made the front page.
