[Be el o ge]

Since yesterday evening I can’t post any more on Twitter via Firefox. I’m using version 3.0.13. The problem is reported across various versions: Firefox 3.5 not playing nicely with Twitter
I hope that gets resolved soon. I don’t want to start up another browser just for a single application.

For some time already Drag & Drop within the browser is a pretty common feature for web applications. The next step would be Drag & Drop interaction between your desktop and the web application … without using a plugin (Adobe Air, …).

Swell, a Javascript library, seems to be promising: Wouldn’t it be Swell to be able to drag and drop between Web and desktop
Also there is a demo on their web page: Drag and drop files from your desktop to your browser. They say “two browsers are playing well with the demo (Safari 4, Chrome 2+) while others degrades gracefully.”

Now, even cooler would be such support in the Google Web Toolkit, but it seems a common approach there is to utilize Google Gears, which again forces the user to install a plugin (except in Chrome, where Gears is an integrated component). Read more about it here and here.

Der Service den Gravatar anbietet ist ebenso einfach wie nützlich: Einmal einen Avatar hochladen und diesen überall verwenden.

A gravatar, or globally recognized avatar, is quite simply an image that follows you from site to site appearing beside your name when you do things. Avatars help identify your posts on blogs and web forums, so why not on any site?

Verschiedene Dienste sind mit Gravatar integriert (Wordpress, Github), so dass man nichts weiter machen muss als sich bei Gravatar anmelden und den Avatar hochzuladen oder wenn anmelden und hochladen bereits geschehen sind: gar nichts. Einzige Voraussetzung ist, dass man sich mit der gleichen E-Mail-Adresse anmeldet wie bei Gravatar. Verwendet man mehrere E-Mail-Adressen, kann man diese seinem Account bei Gravatar hinzufügen.

Mal schauen ob das irgendwann in die Rubrik “Zeitgeschichte” fällt: Google Chrome
