Previously I bloged about creative resumes, and that seems to be one of my highest hitting web pages, so in my shameless attempt to garner more hits, I’d thought I’d blog about creative v-cards as well.

Vcards are a fad that didn’t really catch on, think of them as virtual business cards (because that’s essentially what they are).  So instead of handing out business cards, you hand out urls that point to this awesome looking page that has all your contact information. Since vcards are mostly used by freelance web designers, the designs of vcards are excellent, ranging from beautifully minimalistic to outrageously awesome.A good vcard design should answer 3 important questions,

My blog just turned 2 months old today, and boy has it come far. I’ve been trying real hard to make at least 1 Post a day, but most of the time it’s about 1 post every 2-3 days. It’s still a lot better than my previous blog and I’ve learnt a lot from my mistakes. However, just how good is keithrozario.com?

According to GoogleAnalytics, which I installed shortly after I created the blog, I maxed out at 28 hits a day, with a monthly average of about 12-14 hits a day this week. Quite bad when you compare me to guys like sethgodin who gets almost 80,000 hits/month or Anilnetto (a Malaysian journalist) who averages almost 1 million/month.

Nathan Yau, the guy over at Flowing Data (an amazing blog),  recently posted about a website called tweetolife that allowed you visualize tweets by either gender or by hours. So for instance a simple check on the word ‘shopping’ allows you to see what words were most associated with shopping on every tweet sectioned out by gender. For instance Men are more likely to tweet about shopping portals, or amazon or cash. While women are more likely to tweet about dresses or their parents (weird!). The data itself isn’t complete but it does let you kill about 10 minutes of your time trying to figure out the twitter universe. I had a fun time looking at the differences between men and women, confirming my suspicions and creating doubt in some others.

One of my favorite Wordpress plugins,  Tweet This by Richard X. Thripp stop working ever since Twitter moved to the ’new’ twitter. I just realized this yesterday. A quick search online revealed that everyone is experiencing the issue with the plugin and Richard is MIA. When you get a free plug-in don’t complain if it breaks, I’m sure Richard is quite busy or probably has more pressing needs that write code for a free plugin that he’s not getting any money out of. Most of the complainers haven’t even donated. Plus the code is open source, and you can fix it yourself. Richard did a stand up job creating this super plugin and giving him a hard time because it’s no longer with the ’new’ twitter is just stupid.

One of the great things about open source software is the code is made public, and the general public usually has it’s collection of super-geniuses as well. One of those super-geniuses is a guy named Jeffry Pilcher from the financialbrand.com who shared on the official website of the plugin how to sort this out quickly without getting angry at Mr. Thripp.

Here’s what you do:

Ever had to share minutes across multiple people but never really got down to it. Some people love to jot down minutes in an excel spreadsheet, and then attach that spreadsheet to an email that is then blasted to relevant people in the group. The problem with that is that the minutes are never really up to date, at any one time, you’ll either need to forward everyone in the group a separate emails (with updates) , or just accept the fact that they’ll be lagging behind until the next checkpoint.

Google has just hit back at Facebook with the new +1 button. Similar to facebook’s like, it’s a one-click button to symbolize you ’like’ the site. However, that’s where the similarity ends:

Project Pier is a web-based Project Management tool written in PHP. It’s got a whole lot of bells and whistles for a open-source platform, but it does have it shortcomings as well. It all depends on what you want to accomplish with your project management tool, ProjectPier could be perfect, or it could fall woefully short. So let’s get digging:

Ever since they took down drop.io I’ve been struggling to find a site where I could share content/files with my developers and service providers. I work for the IT department of a multinational company and sometimes I require to share content with developers and service providers that are not from my company (and therefore don’t share access to the intranet). I’m sure many people struggle with this, how do I share those large files with my team?

e Gizmodo, today posted a link to Intels new Museum of me that allows Facebook users to grab information from their facebook profiles and post them up in a really cool museum like format.

I’ve been unable to view it, I suspect it’s due to the fact that 100,000+ people have liked it since it launched barely hours ago. Talk about an internet sensation. It remains to be seen though if the website itself is overloaded of facebook has blocked the auths from intel. It sounds totally cool, but what you’re essentially doing is granting permission to a corporation to view you personal data…all of it. Not just the stuff you fill up in a form but all the stuff on your facebook.

A lot of people seem to think that you can get away with loading files into public space and that no one will see them until I send someone a link.

That’s WRONG!!
