Ever wanted a cool designer t-shirt, but didn’t want to shell out mucho dinerio ($$$$) for it.. check out Threadless at http://www.threadless.com/.
It is a Chicago based company, that seems to act as a collection spot for artists. I like the web site layout and the features. They also seem to be using flickr to store all their customers “in-action” shots. Very novel and clever way to use the web to your advantage :)..
One of my friends pointed me to www.zillow.com when he came to know that I was looking into buying a house. Zillow is a great resource for anyone looking to buy/sell property. I was very impressed by the data that Zillow collects and the way it is presented. I checked out the management team for Zillow out of curiosity and looks like it was started by ex-expedia folks.
Zillastic!! 🙂
I ran across this link http://www.mtit.com/resources/teamblogs.htm wihle browsing the web. It has a list of Microsoft Team blogs, where teams from certain business areas in Microsoft write on certain applications or areas. One that I visit on a regular basis is the Exchange Team Blog at http://blogs.technet.com/exchange/. Lots of good material there..
I think it is high time I started using Flickr to post my pictures. I take a ton of pictures (yes, I am one of those crazy guys, that carry a camera on them ALL the time) and haven’t found a way to share them with friends and family without maxing out the traffic on my hosted site. I have been looking at all the photo sharing, social tagging sites such as flickr, fotki, hello for quite some time, but never got around to creating an account and using them. I don’t like sites that require you to register just to look at pictures (kodak!!). We have too many accounts as it is, without having to register on a site just to look at some photos.
Long post short :).. Here is the first attempt to start logging my pictures online. The link to my pictures on flickr is
http://www.flickr.com/photos/kudithipudi/sets/72057594092170857/
P.S: If anyone wants me to delete their photos, pls shoot me an E-mail at vinay at kudithipudi dot org. Thx.
I was doing some research on “Inter-Tel, Inc.” in Google and came across this interesting link
in the search results. Looks like this is a Google interface in H4x0R code :),
I am still working on the Vegas trip post.. But here is something I stumbled upon. A very unique way of using the collective power of the web.
www.stumbleupon.com. This is a site, where you can tag interesting sites based on your interest, you can “stumble” on it. You can install a plugin for Firefox for it too. BTW.. Firefox 1.5 is out. If you haven’t tried it out yet.. Highly reccomend it. Fast, Small, Easy to use broswer as an alternate to MSFT’ Internet Explorer.
Looks like today is going to be a day of “Cool Sites” posts :). Here is a site maintained by Daniel Petri containing all sorts of MSFT articles. Daniel writes a lot of articles about issues that admins run into on a daily basis and he has some great practicle advice. Highly recommend visiting it regulary.
