Call Google Advertisers via Skype - soon!

Tuesday, August 29th, 2006

I just read on the Google talkabout blog that Google and eBay signed a contract to let Google Adsense ads contain Skype callto-links in the future. Meaning that you’ll be able to call advertisers directly via Skype whenever you see an “call-enabled” ad. A pretty nice feature.

Question with such a new contract is: who’s the one to pay? I say, it’s neither Google, nor Skype. Huh? Well, (more…)

Skype hacked - differently

Monday, July 17th, 2006

Skype has been hacked - and I’m not talking about the Intel conference call more parties, etc. stuff. I’m talking about a third party application calling a Skype client! The piece of software is coming from China - I’m wondering if they may think about releasing it as open source - well, just kidding ;-)…

Soccer=Football? Firefox=Footiefox!

Friday, June 16th, 2006

Some may call it Soccer Worldcup. Other may call it Football Worldcup. ‘Think the official name is FIFA Worldcup. And the official site is fifaworldcup.com which is actually hosted by Yahoo

But you shouldn’t really care about that. At least if you are using Firefox - in this case, the most important page is footiefox.com. It’s the coolest plugin for Firefox if you are soccer (slash football… ;-)) addicted.

It sits in the status bar and displays the score of the currently running game. On a right click, it will give you an overview of all the games that have been, are and will be - sorted by group and date. Something you find on the “official” pages only after trillions of clicks is now at your fingertips. Plus: this beast even shouts “GOOOAALLLL” whenever appropriate - really ;-) !

And once the worldcup is over, you won’t have to uninstall it. It supports all the major soccer/football leagues of the world.

But please take care: this plugin may not work with every 3rd party theme - At least I had problems with Noia 2.0
