Open Source Social Networking App. – Diaspora

Posted: 16 Sep 2010 11:17 AM PDT

Diaspora is an open source social networking application that is considered to be a Facebook alternative by many sources.

It includes most of the features to be expected like friendships, status messages, photos, etc.

The application's most original part is the way the user-data and so the privacy is handled: all personal data is stored wherever you want like on an hosting account or on your personal computer.

And, considering it is open source, users will be able to attach their profiles (including all personal data) to a network built with the system.

Diaspora is built with Ruby and still in the early development phase. However, seems like we'll be hearing more about it in the near future.

Internet Explorer 9 (Beta) Is Out!

Posted: 15 Sep 2010 10:01 PM PDT

Personally, I'm a Firefox user as the web developer toolbar and Firebug is a must-have for a web designer/developer and, also, appreciate what Mozilla does for web.

Right, these tools or similar ones also exist on other browsers like Chrome (which can be my next browser with the performance offered).

There are also other great ones like Opera or Safari and it is very normal not to consider IE at all as every version used to come with its own issues.

Internet Explorer 9 Beta

Maybe, this can be changing as Internet Explorer 9 Beta is out with serious improvements like:

  • new and faster JavaScript engine
  • support for HTML5, CSS3 and SVG
  • simpler UI
  • and multiple features for faster browsing

It is not hard to guess that IE9 is still not a strong option for web designers/developers with the lack of dev-tools and reputation it has.

However, it is a big step forward and hopefully a good-enough product to motivate IE fans to upgrade and end up increasing the "modern browser usage ratio".

Also, considering the activity on the "web-dev products side of Microsoft", seeing new IE-compatible designer/developer tools in the near future won't be a surprise.

P.S. Internet Explorer 9 Beta only works with Windows Vista and Windows 7.
