Is Google going Digg ?!

Google has recently released a new feature in closed beta. I'd even rather call it a whole new search interface than just a "feature". The new interface allows you to leace comments, and vote search results up and down, pretty much like digg...

The TechCrunch article about this interface is titled "Is This The Future Of Search?", well I think not :)

Facebook's 60 photos limit

Why does Facebook limit every photo album to 60 photos. For me personally - this is a huge inconvenience as I’m uploading every photo album to both Facebook and Picasa. I wouldn't upload pictures to Picasa if I had the possibilities to comfortably manage all my photos in Facebook. I use Facebook anyway, in order to share the pictures with friends. If only it didn't have the 60 pics limit it could have been a great competition to Picasa, and maybe even to Flickr and other image sharing sites.

So, the guys in Facebook - do something about it!

Fire in your eyes

The Eurovision song contest took place last night and here is the Israeli song - "fire in you eyes"



If you listen to the beginning of the song, it sound a little bit more suitable for Asiavision or mabye middleastvision than Eurovision.

But the question that really bothers me is - Does anyone actually watch Eurovision nowadays? I know that it used to be a major event back in the 70's-80's-maybe-even-90's, but in the 21st century?! In my opinion this contest became irrelevant on August 1, 1987 - when MTV Europe first launched.

And if you wonder who won - the name is Dima Bilan, the Russian contestant who performed in English with a heavy Russian Accent. The Israelis gave him 12 points, by the way.

Flight of the Hamsters

This is defenetly the best Flash game ever!


I started playing 2-3 days ago, just between doing things that I had to do and got totally addicted. It's the kind of game that while playing it you always promise yourself that it's your last try and than you're off to do the important things that you have to do - but it never is :)

So if got some free time to burn - go ahead, try to launch a hamster.


I scored 634 today, think you can do better?

A great Israeli initiative on Facebook


Tonight Israel celebrates it's 60th independence day. To honor the significant event in our small country’s life, some Israelis on Facebook (and I think that almost all Israelis are in fact on facebook) have came up with a very patriotic initiative - To change the profile pictures to the Israeli flag for 28 hours!

As of now 12,367 people have confirmed their attendnace (including myself).

This is the event's page on facebook.

So if you are Israeli or just want to support Israel and honor the independence day - go ahead and join us :)

A fly in a cup of coffee


How do people of various nationalities react to the discovery of a fly in their cups of coffee, while sitting in a coffee shop.

The English man, throws out his cup of coffee and leaves the coffee Shop.
The American guy, pulls the fly out of the coffee and drinks the coffee.
The Chinese guy, eats the fly and dumps the coffee.
The Japanese guy drinks the coffee along with the fly, as they don't charge him extra for the fly.
The Israeli guy sells the fly to the Chinese fellow, the coffee to the America Fellow and buys himself a new cup of coffee.
What does the Palestinian do? He naturally accuses the Israeli guy of inhumanity and blames him for placing the fly in his coffee. Than he asks the UN for support and asks the International Community to give him money for a new cup of coffee. He gets the money, and instead of coffee he buys explosives. After that, he blows up the coffee shop, along with the American, English, Chinese and Japanese guys while they try to set the Israeli straight by explaining to him how he is being to aggressive towards the Palestinian.

NooTag

For a really long time I didn't post anything to this blog but now it's the right time to bring it back to life.

The first post I'd like to make is about an intiative (future start-up) that I've been involved in during the past year along with my friend Alex Ginzburg.

I can't say to much about it, as it is still in super stealth mode :)
but we have some great ideas and we've been blogging about it at nootag.com/blog.
I can also say that we have a website under development and we'll soon publish our really cool brand new logo.

I will post updates about NooTag as soon as I can.
