This blog has finished its run and will now move to a more prominent location. Since there are many sites linking to older posts, the posts will stay up for the time being. Comments will eventually be disabled for all posts until the move is completed by June 2008.  You will be able to visit this blog in its new location at http://bumped.org. The other half of this blog that deals with topics specific to Myspace, Facebook, and AIM Profiles will be located at http://bumped.org/stylinprofile and will be launched officially in Mid march. StylinProfile will cover basic and advanced topics and tutorials for social networking sites, as well as widgets that can be used on such sites. The site will also cover more complex operations and profile editing based on demand and time. Companies that pertain specifically to flash widgets that would be most likely used by the "myspace generation" will most likely be posted at StylinProfile.

So after months of funny, odd, and strange front page messages on minorcris.net’s homepage, including at one point advertising free PS3s. Minorcrisis has relaunched as mp3space. Enjoy increased bandwith as members now receive 30GB Monthly transfers, 100mb of space, and 10mb max file sizes.

We’ve seen many different online music stores, but it appears one site has finally figured out how to remove all the annoying aspects and integrate every feature and function into one page. Clickgroove has begun the web 2.0 interface of music shopping.

The left side bar features selections for new music, charts, labels, and genres. You can click on each one of them to sort the music listings. The magic begines once you click on an artist. With some really crafty ajax scripts, the page on the right loads by itself without any apparent loading of the whole entire page. At the top features your playlist which you can select and play any preview of a song. The music continues playing even if you backspace and visit a previous page from before. This would be such a welcome addition for the music store, the fact that we can browse other music listings while continuously listening to music makes it much more pleasant and much more useful. Need I remind you that there are NO POPUPS to listen to the music! 

The only suggestion for Clickgroove woule be to add a social element to the site. Similar to the review system emusic has on all of its albums. Plus we should be able to add all tracks within an album to the playlist. But for now, everything is alright.

MinorCrisis has mysteriously vanished from the internet. It has now relaunched as mp3space. Months ago, it all started when an Apache server message was displayed, MP3 links still worked but the site was pratically useless. Now all MP3s hosted on the site are gone. I don’t really know if there was a DMCA filed against them, even if that did happen, the website would redirect to a suspension page of their host. If you would like some alternatives to Minorcrisis, read 3 other places to hotlink mp3s or maybe you want 5 more places to hotlink mp3s.

During the MTV VMAs, there will be an ad slot for Taco Bell featuring a winner of the "Create your Gizmoz TV Me" contest.  Contest winners will also recieve a Taco Bell $250 gift certificate. So be sure to catch the spot tomorrow, and congrats to all those who made it.

Since Gizmoz release to the public, users have been creating their own videos on Youtube, mostly using celebrity faces and animals. Some of these videos have been featured on the Youtube’s Most Viewed Today. Popular ones depict George Bush and his arch nemesis Osama Ben Laden.

I’m not sure whats going on in Quicksharing.com, but for the past week, the upload button has been unclickable. Both legal and illegal files uploaded to the server have been mysteriously deleted.  By google searching, I have not yet found a single file that is still hosted there. The site has just sat there cold and alone with no activity going on and no updates as to what will happen to it. I don’t want nominate quicksharing to the deadpool, but can we atleast have a press release?

The Audio application from Facebook is gone! I have not found any new as to why its gone or where it went. Maybe its down due to repairs or maybe they have abandoned the project all together with the amount of infringed Mp3s on the service. We’ll have more news about it when it’s found!

Well there wasn’t any news as to why Lovemyflash stopped working last month but now the site and server is faster now, and all layouts are working. Here you can read our review of lovemyflash.

Update July 23, 2007

We have just been informed that lovemyflash is now working, you can read our post for more information.

Around June 24th, LoveMyFlash layouts everywhere stopped working. The Myspace page would either take an incredibly long time to load or not load at all. The main website itself does work but has a slow response time. Does this mean LoveMyFlash.com is getting too much server load or is the hosting company having problems with their servers? No blog post about this issue has been made yet so we will wait until further developments.

Update October 9, 2007

Well whatever happened has been fixed now and is back to normal. You can continue to use lovemyflash layouts.
