Discovery Engine · 12 January 2008 by Alex Beregszaszi
Discobot is a new crawler of the San Francisco based Discovery Engine search company. The website looks nice, but that’s all. They promise a public beta for 2008.
Liferea, Google Reader and Shared items · 17 October 2007 by Alex Beregszaszi
Liferea was way too unstable to use and produced frequent crashes. Since a week it stopped working, crashed on start.
Time has come to change my RSS reader and I decided to use the Google service. I can note one positive thing in Liferea, it used an OPML feed as configuration so it was easy to import.
This choice turned out to be good enough, even more so, when I found the Share this item button and created my own shared items page (which works like fyoop). RSS here.

ING uses GoogleMaps · 4 August 2007 by Alex Beregszaszi
ING uses GoogleMaps for ATM search
It is a bit unusual to see such mashups or at least using outbound web services in banking, instead some internally written unusable heap.
Hungarian web culture · 27 July 2006 by Alex Beregszaszi
Warning, this will be a rude rant!
The hungarian web culture is at least 5 years behind today. Tables are still mandatory, XHTML-CSS design is mostly unknown and 1pixel spacers are widely used. Funny, isn’t it?
Today I have seen an ad of the SZTE-BMI – a university faculty with media related classes. They are offering specialization in what they call mediainformatics and explain as webdesign. Just look at their kickin old school website. And they are going to teach such awesome design skills and culture.
Tag clouds #2 · 13 June 2006 by Alex Beregszaszi
I forgot to append: Don’t forget, less is more.
Tag clouds · 8 June 2006 by Alex Beregszaszi
A tag cloud:
- can tell the user what kind of content he will find on your site
- can help in selecting only relevant posts
- looks interesting (at the first sight)
But dont let the tag cloud grow too big. I get into trouble when seeing a tag cloud containing hundreds of tags, and wont use it.
I think I already have used too much tags :)
Web2.0 Symposium, Hungary · 17 May 2006 by Alex Beregszaszi
As Doransky reports, the first bigger web2.0 related event in Hungary, the Web2.0 Symposium will be held on the 29th of May. The main sponsor is the Magyar Telekom, the event itself will be held in MT’s main office building.
The program includes CC, Wikipedia, political blogs, social networks and enterprise/marketing blogs. Looks promising, the only problematic part is the price: 8000 HUF, approximately $40. For comparison, a bread costs about $0.5, a better beer $0.7 in shops.
