Go Global Gadget ^™

GCP now has a 24 hour graph to go along with the dot.

We just added the ability for tweet rooster to remember individual users. It’s now a check box in the tweet rooster window.

We’ve published a new tool for all you website owners and blog operators.  Tweet Roosters is a little button that enables your users and readers to post to their Twitter account directly from your website or blog.  Why would someone put this tool on their website?  It takes only a little bit of space and opens up in a box directly on your website but primarily it helps your website or blog get more exposure on Twitter.

There is even a WordPress Widget Plugin for Tweet Rooster.

There is a new place for checking out the new DVD releases:

The DVDs coming out this week and next are displayed with the most popular discs

We’ve put together a small project that shows the light map and the night lights of the earth. It can be found at Earth Light Map.

Here is a small sample:

eBay has written about Twibler on their developer community blog:

Special thanks to Laurel Kline.

It’s been done and there are many sites that do this but we wanted to add our two cents to the market. We wanted to make it simple and easy. Check out

What’s great about this tool is that it will crawl your entire website for one low price…. FREE. Reports are generated via email so all you need to do is enter the website to crawl and your email address. It’s even optimized not to pull down data files like Word Documents and PDFs so as to save bandwidth though the links are still checked.

The dot is an index of the Global Consciousness Project. It is the real time analysis of their data. This site downloads their data once a minute and runs sophisticated probability functions to find the coherency the random numbers are that are generated by the project. The theory is that global human thought changes the way the random numbers are generated and thus captures the unity of thought across the world. The new website can be found here at the GCP Dot. Here is the web enabled version of the dot:

This is the iGoogle gadget version and the Apple Dashboard Version:

There has been a new release of Global Conscious. This new beta 7 version has the following enhancements and bug fixes:

• Paging of Private Messages
• Integrated User and Message search
• Help page (in the forum)
• Geolocating messages that are not the most recent
• Follow and Unfollow function now work on the Account page, Friends tab
• Replies now show geolocation

We put this utility website up as a service as we here at GGG have sorely needed it. It comes in very handy at times!

We’ve added a thing called the Price Tweet for eBay buyers to our Twibler.com website.

Sellers put the html in their item listing and the buyer click it thus taking them to the Price Tweet page. From there they enter their Twitter username and the trigger price. When the item price passes the specified price it will send a reply tweet directly to your Twitter account. As the end of the auction approaches the website will grab the prices more and more to keep you in the loop.

You can now follow our Twitter Twibler account

We created a new website called Twibler.com. It’s yet another Twitter tool. This website is all about automatically posting your eBay listings to your Twitter account. It’s been in the works for a while now and we finally finished it up last night.

Last night we through together a very quick and dirty website for splitting Animated GIFs. It was particular because there was no fully functional code to split a GIF available on the web. We started with a very basic script found here that decodes Animated GIFS in its most basic form. Then we used GD to read the GIFs and apply each subsequent animation frame to the last. The images are displayed and and a zip file is created for downloading all the frames of animation.

We created this because we couldn’t find any online tools for splitting an animated GIF. You’ll see one of our clients World Label has an animated GIF as their header graphic. This needed to be split into each frame so transparency could be added before we could use it in their Dashboard Widget called iLabel-it CD. That widget is not yet released. But instead of just making the Animated GIF splitter we created a website for all to use.

Our new website can be found here:

Our XMLIndent.com website has a new coloring and formatting algorithm. It’s custom and now colors comments correctly.
Also, a download button was added to the mix to allow the formatted text to be downloaded from the website.

There have been some minor edits made to GC. The messages in peoples’ profile has been updated to include avatars (both the person’s messages and their favorites). Also, the dynamic reloading of messages each minute has been updated so there hopefully won’t be any problems with Safari any more. It has to do with how it was updating the new message vs all the messages. The compatible way here is to use TActivePanel and update it’s innards on each refresh. We decided to do our own callback because it needed to be run specifically at the 12th second and the 42 second (plus a little randomization so the server isn’t slammed with requests at the same time).

This version is called beta 5.1.

The next version will be forcing people to accept a new terms of service agreement. This is because there was none for a long time and it’s about time to change that.
