eType

Now it is possible to have dictionary help available in all programs with the new tool eType. eType is a tool for windows XP SP2, Vista and 7 that gives you a popup box in all programs. The tool is still in Beta and I have already noticed some reasons why, but overlooking those I think this is a tool with lots of potential. Just to give it a try I'm currently writing this post in Gmail and I have eType running helping me prevent typos and bad spelling. also there is a thesaurus dictionary available so you can also choose synonyms to use in your blog post.
If you also want to give eType a try you can sign up for there beta sign in at eType.com

Diaspora*

This likely it is going to be a very interesting project to get a fully distributed social media environment where not facebook, not twitter and not last.fm owns you information, but you are the one who controls it completely at you own node (seed as they call it).
I really think these kind of projects can be the future of social media. Like the Diaspora team mentions in there video I also have difficulties deciding what to share and what not. I really would like to show all my pictures and post everything I do. But as soon as it's out there I have no longer control over who gets my info and where is is used. Diaspora promises to create a solution for this problem. So I have subscribed to there mailing list and I'll just wait to see what is project will bring in the future and you should really Join Diaspora.

Check.in

 

Check.in takes the hassle out of checking in on multiple services. Check in once, I hope this application will be online quickly to ease the checking in at Foursquare, Gowalla and BrightKite.

Foursquare, venue or not venue?

I was having a look at my foursquare statistics and of course noticed that the most check-ins I did where from either my home or from the office. This is what I always do with both foursquare and gowalla. But I just noticed a person near me who is the mayor of a roundabout, 2 stretches of highway and a municipal. In my opinion these are not venues, but my home isn't either. And if I look up what foursquare says about this in there help page it says this:
 
When you tell foursquare where you are, that's called "checking-in". You can check-in from parks, bars, museums, restaurants... really anywhere. When you check-in we'll let your friends know where they can find you and award you points and badges based on your adventurousness.

So according to the letter there is no reason not to add these thing to foursquare, but still it it doesn't feel right. So if you have any opinion on this just leave a comment. I love to hear what others think about this.
