Google Buzz test

February 24th, 2010 No comments

First test post after connecting my blog to buzz.

Pretty easy once I realized that I had hidden the xfn relational section in my links editor >_<.   Set up reciprocating rel=”me” links on my blog and google profile, force a google re-crawl at https://sgapi-recrawl.appspot.com, and voila!

Thanks to Dave for the info.

New Invite Webapp Anyvite

February 9th, 2009 No comments

So, hopefully everyone got the invite I sent for the bday festivities using anyvite.com (if you didn’t, let me know and I’ll resend). Heard about it via one of Laura’s friends and having messed around with it, I think it’s better than evite by a large margin.

It’s got a sweet new ajax’d interface, account creation is super quick, and there aren’t the annoying ads / hoops that you have to jump through to use it (unlike evite). It’s clearly still in beta so there’s little things that they’re working on (like better privacy controls), but I think the overall package is worth dealing with the little issues.

Oh, when you add the location, it will add the google maps link automatically and when you click on the link, it’ll dynamically place it on the main page. It also has options for adding the event directly to your google calendar via openauth.

It facilitates migration from evite as well with some pretty nifty tools for bringing over guest lists. Also, it has super cute icons!

So, I hope we all switch from evite. woot.
