Erg leuke video (dank aan de makers!). We staan op de 32e plaats (van de 33).. maar dat komt omdat onze naam YelloYello is en nou eenmaal niet AlloAllo kwam ik achter :) [youtube:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3O2p6A6Gnmg] http://blog.joopp.com/2008/08/13/yelloyello-in-lijst-van-33-hete-nederlandse-web-20-bedrijven/ We've just launched a first version of our iPhone site. It does not include all features of YelloYello.com yet but has a nice iPhone interface. Check out the following movie to get an idea. For the Dutch Press Release check here. The above is a link to YouTube since the movie ... http://blog.joopp.com/2008/07/28/yelloyello-now-available-for-iphone/ You've just eaten a fantastic dinner in a restaurant. It cost a lot of you precious euros but it was worth it. You ask the waiter where you can pay with your PIN-pas (yes, that's what we Dutchmen use). The waiter says you can't pay with PIN... OUCH! Two options: Go and ... http://blog.joopp.com/2008/07/25/trainstations-atms-now-in-yelloyello/ For those who experienced some difficulties with YelloYello.com.. it grow out of disk space. Thanks to the many business owners and users uploading reviews, images, etc.. But the problems are solved for now.. Update: In the meantime we upgraded some of the hardware.. so everything should work even better. http://blog.joopp.com/2008/07/20/growing-out-of-your-server/ When will the web-browser know where we are? Hopefully sometime soon.. probably not. FireEagle (by Yahoo) is a nice first step. Have different applications tell FireEagle where you are and have web-apps request your location (with different accuracies) from FireEagle. Nice.. but not really straight forward and end-user friendly. End-users will ... http://blog.joopp.com/2008/07/19/geolocation-coming-to-the-browser/ We at Joopp participate in the Sprout Challenger 50. The contest is a perfect fit with our YelloYello concept. Since you all know that YelloYello is in some way an alternative to the regular Yellow Pages like the Gouden Gids and ILocal.. and the main purpose of the contest is ... http://blog.joopp.com/2008/07/14/challenger50/ Yep, now you know.. you're not the only one with problems.. spiders have them too. And I mean Web Spiders. Say you are called Slurp, Googlebot or something Microsoftish.. you vist websites all the time.. and some websites don't like that.. like imdb.com :) (The above image says: "Request Limit Reached: ... http://blog.joopp.com/2008/06/07/the-problems-when-you-are-a-spider/ Old question I hear you think ;) But still it will get asked when you start Ruby on Rails projects for clients. One way of comforting a client is just naming a few RoR success stories: "Twitter uses Rails, it has about 8.000.000 unique visitors a month.". Evan Weaver has ... http://blog.joopp.com/2008/06/06/does-ruby-on-rails-scale/ Internet Explorer has some influence on webdesign.. all webdesigners know it. You've designed a complete site that works in Firefox, Opera and Safari... but sadly not the one that is mostly used; IE. So.. what do you do? You start fixing.. and how do you call your CSS classes that fix ... http://blog.joopp.com/2008/06/01/how-internet-explorer-influences-webdesign/ SlideShare is really cool. You can easily search for presentation on a subject and just mashup the contents of a few presentations into a new one. Which is great :) Previously we already had flickr to get some slide images from.. but now we have a complete storyline. However.. some presentations ... http://blog.joopp.com/2008/05/30/into-slideshare/
