Posts in ‘Fav 2.0’

After 2 nights on the train, I finaly have some energy to write something about this year web 2.0 event: webstock 2008.

First of all some pictures from marius tudor,  zoso, adrianzanfir, inconstantin ; we all love pictures

Here is my see my fav20 t-shirt thanks to inconstantin:

Webstock was an interesting FREE event, organized by Evensys ( Manafu ) with the help of the sponsors Vodafone, Adobe and LG. I met with de ce blog, alexbrie, marius tudor, inconstantin, alex circei, necenzurat, Andrei Marin si  Cristina Marin de la cuponix, lista.lu team,  visurat, and I got a chance to talk to Bobby Voicu, Claudiu Gamulescu, MB Dragan, Vlad Stan cu Seed Money, Len,  Maxim Schram from redesignme.com.

On Webstock Awards, on UTILITY section,tastekid won 3rd place, my fav20 won 2nd and 1st place went to lista.lu.

The experience was great and I invite everybody who attended Webstock to test my project: fav20

I invite you to check your website PageRank because today, 27 september 2008, I see that Google has updated the Pagerank. If you did a good job bringing good quality backlinks to your website, you got a good PageRank.

Fav20 got PageRank 5, it is nice but for me it doesn’t help because I do not use SEO to drive visitors to my site. 

You can check your PageRank pretty fast with ipagerank.org . If any of you is really happy and needs to share what PageRank you got, please leave a comment.

Fav20 will attend webstock as a “Utility” 2.0 project. Here is a BETA list of projects that will attend this category:

• ipagerank by Cristian Badea
• fav20 by Razvan Girmacea
• tastekid by Andrei Oghina
• lista.lu by Dream Production
• codul rutier by Senior Interactive
• SEO Applications submit suite and fastlink2

Fav 2.0 is competing at Internetics 2008 on category Other services.

Competition will be very hard, there are very good websites (ideas and final result) on this category. Best websites in my opinion (except fav20) are eOK , ZeList and CaptainGo. 

Who do you think will win ?

On 3rd October 2008 I will attend WebStock, a web 2.0 talks and workshopts gathering. Also there is a web 2.0 competition where I am participating with fav20. 

Wish me luck.

If you want your favorite websites on your tshirt like my tshirt, just leave your comment with 5 favorite websites and I will send you the high resolution image with your websites for the tshirt. You then go to a tshirt printing service near you and there you have it. 

You can have your websites printed either on front or back, and you can still have your own message on the other side.

Other member tshirts: 

After a month of research, asking and trying to get help to solve the sorting links on fav20 , using Sortables, without them opening on release, after constant presure from users feedback about the sorting problem, I managed to find a solution on my own. 

Here is the solution

var stopsort = function(e){ e.stop(); }
var startsort = function(){ this.removeEvent(’click’,stopsort); }

onStart:function(el){
el.getElements(’a').each(function(atag){
   atag.addEvent(’click’,stopsort);
});
},

onComplete:function(el){
el.getElements(’a').each(function(atag){
  startsort.delay(50,atag);
});
}

Fav 2.0 Tshirt

Some other active members or that provided feedback received a Fav 2.0 Tshirt personalized with their sites on it.

Google launched a new web browser: Chrome. When I tested it, I got scared because of the good new tab feature with most visited webpages easily accesible. I thought I was doomed with my fav20 project. But lets see what diffrences make fav20 still better then chrome:

Fav20 …

1. isn’t browser depandable - can run on any browser, even on mobile
2. doesn’t require instalation (plugin or program/new browser)
3. You can have your favorite websites anywhere using the account, even tho you don’t need a fav20 account to use fav20.
4. You can add/manage your most visited websites as you please, sort them, color them.
5. You can launch most visited websites with one click !
