Fizy [Quick Review]

March 24th, 2009 | 2 Comments | Posted in Web Apps

I just found Fizy a simple website where you can search for a songs, listen to it.

PROS

  • * Simple, clean design.
  • * Video option.
  • * Good results.
  • * A short link to share on twitter, facebook, etc.

CONS 

  • * No playlist options.
  • * No share via embed available.

I have been looking for a site like this for sometime now, just missing the playlist to become a BIG FAN.

That’s it, I told you it was quick.

Gmail calls Vs Skype calls

November 12th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Software, Web Apps

Today I installed the recent firefox plug-in from google to obtain voice and video chat capabilities with gmail, and I may say that it works great. I use (or used?) skype for work at least during 45 minutes a day, so this is a really great thing for me, because it’s also integrate with my companies google apps account.

The video and audio quality it’s as good (if not better) than skype. Also the calls are pretty stable and options for full screen video and move and minimize your video window are good.

BUT (there’s always a but) the only thing so far in which case I prefer skype it’s the option to start or end the video in a call without ending the call.

Of course, the option of having the voice and video inside the browser makes the gmail option more appealing.

Google Analytics slight Touch Up

October 24th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Marketing, Web Apps

Today, you may have noticed a little polish in your Google Analytics report interface . The layout is a little cleaner because we added some color consistency and contrast between sections in the interface so that it’s easier to distinguish between the navigation on the upper left, the help areas below that, and the report itself. We also made the controls at the top of the report (email, export, etc.) a little easier to see and identify.

Overall, the appearance is a little less busy, the lines are a little cleaner, and the important areas hopefully stick out a little more, making Google Analytics even more appealing to use.

Midomi

Last Tuesday on Canada Day I went to the Memorial Park here in Mississauga. During the celebrations one of the performers was a female singer named Eva (I’m not sure if that is her name, but it was GREAT) sings No One from Alicia Keys, but at that moment I didn’t new the name of the song but I like the tune;

After a few click here and there I found MIdomi, a service that allows search for songs based on a tune recorded by you. I give it a try and in the first try found that the song was “humming” was No One by Alicia Keys. Believe me it’s a really great service in tune matching because I’m a really bad singer.
