Gizmodo has a really interesting article about an alleged Facebook payment functionality, which might see the light of day soon. Working in the financial sector, og coure makes this a very interesting thing to me, since payments are a an area where the competition is heating up quite dramatically these days. Danske Bank is doing a bang up job with their MobilePay solution, and the other banks (well, most of them) are trying to get the Swipp application to take off for real. Considering eBay has spun off PayPal in order to maximize the market potential, does indeed set the...
Da jeg helt tilfældigt loggede ind på min Facebook profil i dag, fik jeg en pop up, som lod mig aktivere den nye Facebook email funktionalitet. Umiddelbart ser den ikke ud af meget, hvis man sammenligner med Gmail og Hotmail, men hvis man er fanatisk Facebook bruger er det sikkert ganske cool. Jeg er ikke helt sikker på at jeg nogensinde kommer til at bruge denne mail komponent, da jeg ikke bruger vanvittigt meget tid på Facebook. SÅ vidt jeg husker skulle mail komponenten understøtte både POP3 og IMAP, men indtil videre har jeg ikke været i stand til at...
Rygterne om en Facebook webmail har floret længe, men nu ser det ud til at Project Titan, som det hedder, kommer til at se dagens lys på mandag. Techcrunch skriver: Back in February we wrote about Facebook’s secret Project Titan — a web-based email client that we hear is unofficially referred to internally as its “Gmail killer”. Now we’ve heard from sources that this is indeed what’s coming on Monday during Facebook’s special event, alongside personal @facebook.com email addresses for users. This isn’t a big surprise — the event invites Facebook sent out hinted strongly that the news would have...
David Fincher er en af mine absolutte favorit filmskabere, og har blandt andet lavet Fight Club. Nu viser det sig, at han er manden bag filmen The Social Network, som handler om Mark Zuckerberg og starten på Facebook. Umiddelbart kunne man godt tvivle på at en sådan film kun er for mere eller mindre nørdede personager, så som mig selv, men da jeg tilfældigvis så at Trent Reznor har lavet musikken til filmen er den pludselig endnu mere interessant. Trent Reznor skriver følgende på sin hjemmeside: I was planning on taking some time off after the...
Så er der for alvor gang i rygterne fra Sillicon Valley. Efter et stykke itd, hvor der vel ret beset ikke er sket noget som helst spændende på web fronten, er nettet fyldt med rygter om, at Google er ved at lave en konkurrent til Facebook, angiveligt ved navn Google Me. Louis Gray skriver: Tomorrow’s Web seems to be shaping up for a battle between two major players – Facebook and Google, with Apple and Microsoft holding down their own tangential fiefdoms, and smaller services, like Twitter and LinkedIn, chugging away with their utility-like products. Make no mistake of it...
Nu rykker Yahoo på sociale medier Et værktøj til at opdatere din Facebook-status skal bringe Yahoo Mail ind i de sociale mediers tidsalder. Og det er kun en lille smagsprøve på, hvad der venter Yahoos brugere. Som en del af den igangværende indsats for at tilbyde flere tjenester gør Yahoo det nu muligt for sine brugere at opdatere deres statusbeskeder på Facebook direkte fra Yahoo Mail. Yahoo begyndte at udrulle den nye funktion mandag aften i de fleste engelsksprogede lande heriblandt USA, Storbritannien, Australien, New Zealand og Canada. Funktionen vil begynde at blive tilgængelig i andre lande fra 26. april,...
Da jeg i sin tid begyndte at bruge Facebook, mente jeg, at det var den bedste opfindelse efter Pastrami. Man kunne hurtigt komme i kontakt med personer fra folkeskolen, gymnasiet og universitetet, og derudover var der en masse små applikationer, man kunne installere og lege med. Der gik imidlertid ikke længe før de evindelige email notifikationer blev et rent mareridt, især fordi jeg på daværende tidspunkt benyttede push mail på min telefon. Det var bare ikke fedt at blive vækket klokken 02.36, fordi Henriksen fra Ølbylyng havde installeret en eller anden ny applikation, og samtidig inviterede mig. Sidenhen har jeg...
While we may or may not hear about Windows Live Wave 4 at MIX10 this year(we do try to keep our hopes up though!), recently we’ve received a few tips from sources close to Microsoft about the upcoming version of Windows Live Messenger. Some of them confirm several of our speculations we’ve posted before, while some adds to our knowledge of what we haven’t heard of before. Here they are, in summarised form: Det er superliret at man vil kunne benytte Facebook chat igennem Messenger. Jeg har aldrig kunnet lide browser baseret chatklienter, så dette her er super gode nyheder....
Since the launch of Google Buzz last Tuesday, we’ve been hearing more analyses from professionals and bloggers warning of a possible showdown of sorts between Google and Microsoft in the social space. Buzz is Google’s social connection with its Gmail; but Microsoft already announced last year its own social connection with its mail platform: the forthcoming Social Connector plug-in for Outlook 2010, due for release with the rest of Microsoft Office 2010 this June. The latest release candidate for Office 2010 was distributed to private testers earlier this month. Social Connector promises to transform Outlook 2010 into a live network...
Facebook is completely rewriting their messaging product and is preparing to launch a fully featured webmail product in its place, according to a source with knowledge of the product. Internally it’s known as Project Titan. Or, unofficially and perhaps over-enthusiastically, the Gmail killer. Facebook messaging has been the bane of users’ existence for years. My first public gripe was in 2008, when I said that urgent changes were needed. The biggest problem is simply deleting old emails. It takes so long that I have thousands of unread and read but not deleted messages in my inbox. Kilde: Michael Arrington @...
