Facebook had some code leakage recently. It was nothing much, just the code for the main page (which was mostly includes). Nik.com.au has a nice tutorial on preventing code leaks.
Skype is now usable on the iPhone. Digg users exclaim “Take that AT&T,” though it’s benefiting them if anything. Data minutes are expensive, and you can’t guarantee you’ll be at a Wi-Fi hotspot all the time.
How do you explain RSS to your readers? It’s hard to sketch-out the general idea with words alone. ProBlogger has dugg-up a great video from VideoJug. Just embed the video on a “What’s RSS?” page along with a link to your feed (maybe an email subscription link) and you’re done.
I think we now have conclusive evidence that Alexa is virtually useless. YouTube bigger than Google? Yeah, right. Time spent on a site is not a great metric of how “big” a site is. I tend to leave sites open in extra tabs for hours on end, and I may not stay on Google search results for too long, I use it a heck of a lot more than YouTube. Some Digg users have argued that you’re using YouTube when you view videos embedded on blogs. If you want to be like that, don’t forget AdSense ads. Also note that YouTube is owned by Google. So all those stats count toward Google’s total, right?
