Woopra!!!

Woopra is a must see for anyone that is interested in stats. Shoot even if you’re not interested in your stats it’s still cool. The online version is fairly normal by all standard; Google, WordPress, maybe even Mint. (though I haven’t seen Mint yet) The basic info is this. Standard Membership, Standard Script copy and paste, then it’s who, where, how long, from where and everything else you can think of.

Yeah, yeah, nothing new. I’ll admit nothing that exciting, all the same stuff. The real deal is the program Woopra offers for download. That is where the juicy stuff is. Once you open the program you automaticaly feel like your watching the stockmarket or something. (made me want to stroke my beard and think about important stuff) Perhaps this is a puff piece of a program, something to make people feel good. I’ll admit for the small timers like me it’s kinda cool to see a ton of useless stats about my site. The bigger picture is what Im excited about.

The Bigger Picture is this. The Evolution of the Internet and its Content. Communication on a global scale at our fingertips. (sounds lofty…& ‘We, already have that’) But this is Another Generation.

Here is my bit.
As the Web grows and evolves their will be a number of sites out there that are large enough to have their own Desktop Application.

I would like to see more or this.
Desktop Applications built with the web in mind, built for a specific purpose and use.

Here’s what I found:

Webkinz!!!

Here is another Genious idea for the web. This kinda reminds me of Beanie Babys, only alot more fun. Here’s the gist of it.

You go to the store and buy a Webkinz stuffed animal and then you give it to a friend. They take it home and use the addoption tag it came with to register / adopt it on Webkinz.com. You put in some very basic info (nothing personal, not even an email) and [...] Read More

One of the classes i took in college was Color Theory. It was fun, but it didnt seem to be very grounded as a class. Theory was more like exploration and history of color. Anyway, some people really like color and everyone else is normal and just looks at it.

Here is a place to play with color. Its also a great place to get color combinations for all your color needs. what-ever that [...] Read More
