Mecca - A Social Browser for Mac OS X Leopard
October 7 at 10:42 am - via Reshare - Link
Okay, now THAT makes me want to try a Mac. Finally, something that seems worth my while! - Mattie Kenny
damn it no downoad yet - looks very much just a fluidapp though with the sidebars and slideview - Zee from WeDoCreative
@zee it is fluid.app, the next step in evolution :-) - Dobromir Hadzhiev
Zee - certainly is fluid, built by the same bloke. Sorry for the tease, it isn't available just yet - next day or two I hear. - Matt Harwood
ah i see..very cool. - Zee from WeDoCreative
Using CoverFlow in fullscreen would make this quite unique. This split screen panes can be easily done in Firefox with an addon (forgets name). So yeah, CoverFlow tabbed browsing FTW :¬D - CannonGod
If I'm not wrong, you can find most of the features in the current Fluid release. Just that Todd made this easier for everyone by packaging it in one app so anyone can use right away. - Jonathan Kong
yeah i think you're right Jonathan - Zee from WeDoCreative
Jonathan: as far as I know, you're right. I do like it when people release "custom" fluid SSB's for download though - can save a lot of time hunting around for scripts etc. :-) - Matt Harwood
A Mac Pro is already on my christmas list.. - Terence Washington
Ah, you see I'm like one of those highstreet shoppers constantly hunting down the best bargains. It's not that they care for the clothes per-say, but rather the search which becomes the hobby. Scripts, addons, extensions - you name it, I hunt it. If it's too easy/all-in-one - I'm generally quite unsatisfied :¬P - CannonGod
this has just been released i believe - Zee from WeDoCreative
There used to be a browser plug-in that would allow you to 'chat' with other people who were visiting that webpage at the same time. They got bought by AOL in like 1996 and I've never seen something like that. Not sure what happened to that tech, but it would have been cool. - Andrew Leyden
is it me or do mac programmers like using black on there websites, xtorrent: http://www.xtorrentp2p.com/ any similarities ? -_- - Gordon Swaby
Andrew - there are a ton of services like that. Example: firef.ly - Mattie Kenny
Also browzmi.com, socialbrowse.com, reframeit.com, etc. - LouCypher
I have a Mac that I'm using it on, but it doesn't support Firefox? Booooo! - Ernie Oporto
how do you mean it doesn't support firefox? - Zee from WeDoCreative
When I launch Mecca on my Mac, it doesn't use my default browser Firefox. It launches this Safari thing. I didn't see a place to force it to use Firefox or my default browser. Should it? EDIT: Ah I get it. It's a whole nother browser. How much much worse. This couldn't have been a browser plugin to manage frames? - Ernie Oporto
to set firefox as default browser, open up Safari and go to preferences >> general >> default web browser as Firefox - Zee from WeDoCreative
regarding a plugin - it does a few things firefox can't as in run on a different engine...it's also a fair bit faster. If you just want to divide your browser into different frames - check out Split Browser Firefox extension https://addons.mozilla.org/en-... - Zee from WeDoCreative
Zee, that's already set. One of the first things I did when I got my Mac was install FF and set it as the default - everything has used it as such. - Ernie Oporto
after trying it I know for sure I need a bigger display - Dobromir Hadzhiev
+1 Dobromir - lucky i got a 40" badboy :) - Zee from WeDoCreative
ahhh, now you're teasing me - Dobromir Hadzhiev

“Why do so many people have a problem with "shameless self-promotion"? I understand, given unique circumstances, that it can be annoying, but when there's an instance where you've legitimately contributed to a discussion or project, you should be able to throw in a quick plug without catching flack.”
October 1 at 10:05 am - Link
I pose this question, because a blogger called me out in a comments discussion the other day for leaving my url within my contribution. I mean, is it really so bad to leave behind a harmless little signature after you've posted a well thought out comment that moved along the overall discussion? - IAmGHOSTBLOGGER.com-BradW
Because the _perception_ is that you're trying too hard to promote yourself... And people think that if you're trying too hard then there must not be something really worth promoting... And therefore people see it as spam. Your contributions should encourage people to find out more about you on their own and as long as you make your url easily findable then you should still get attention and respect as long as your contributions are good. - Lindsay Donaghe
it is all in the wrist action ... if it is ego, self-agrandizement, fu ... if you are giving something, go for it - Gregory Lent
ghost, what was your motive? - Gregory Lent
I guess to sum it up it goes to the old adage "The harder you have to advertise something then the less it must be worth." Good things get a reputation on their own and become successful on their own merits. - Lindsay Donaghe
@Gregory My motive for leaving my url was really quite simple. My site is brand spankin' new and I'd like for at least a few people to check it out while I work on establishing a bigger presence. But even if I was the biggest superstar on the net, I still don't believe it's so wrong to share with others the place where they can become familiar with your virtual identity. After all, it's just a url, not an advertorial. - IAmGHOSTBLOGGER.com-BradW
@Lindsay Good point, but I gotta disagree a bit. Unless you gratuitously promote yourself in a random fashion, where your product has nothing in common with the arena your promoting yourself in, then it should be alright to brand yourself under appropriate circumstances. My name is part of my personal brand and I'm allowed to leave that behind, but so is my website. Why can't that be mentioned? - IAmGHOSTBLOGGER.com-BradW
Again, Brad, it's all about perception. Most people don't like being barraged and consider it spam. Other people are more tolerant or impressionable and respond well to over-exposure. There's something to be said for being "humble", but there's also been many cases of success by over-promotion. Just don't expect not to get some flack from the people who don't think that every interaction should be about your brand. Why don't people like flashing banner ads? Same rules apply. - Lindsay Donaghe
Please don't take this wrong way, because I'm not trying to attack anyone here with this thought, but I'm willing to bet that most, if not all, people who have websites, leave their locations (urls) within their email signatures. Is that a display of ego? Now what's so different about that in comparison to leaving a brief url in a blog comment? As long as you don't do it over and over within one particular discussion, it shouldn't be so taboo. / Interesting discussion, party people! - IAmGHOSTBLOGGER.com-BradW
I try to write the major points from a blog post in my comments. I then finish the comment with "more detail at" my blog post URL. - Hutch Carpenter
Urls in signatures are generally considered contact information. A lot of people use their blogs as a business card with all the various ways to get in touch with them listed. Much easier to include one url than all your services in an email sig. Including a url in a comment is fine if it links to a post that is relevant to the discussion. Leaving it just to hope someone clicks through _could be_ considered bad taste. It all depends on what kind of relationships you want to cultivate. - Lindsay Donaghe
Ultimately just ask yourself if you care to have relationships with the people you could offend by "shameless self-promotion". If the answer is no, then don't worry about it... if the answer is yes, then figure out how to change your behavior. - Lindsay Donaghe
@Lindsay That's true on the business card front, but MOST people leave their main domain url in their email sig in hopes that people will stumble upon ANY and ALL content within it. As for me, I leave two mentions of my virtual identity in my email sig: I first leave my main domain and, secondly, a link to a page within it that brings attention to my social media profiles. Our websites are a part of who we are - that's why we leave links to them in most of our social media profiles, etc. It's harmless IMO. - IAmGHOSTBLOGGER.com-BradW
Will you all please visit my blog and digg my articles? Thanks. KTHXBYE. - Robert Scoble
@Robert We can't do that if you don't leave your website address behind in EVERY SINGLE COMMENT YOU MAKE! ;-) - IAmGHOSTBLOGGER.com-BradW
I'm not sure it's fair to say that "MOST people leave their main domain url in their emails sig in hopes that people will stumble upon ANY and ALL content within it." Some people, I'm sure. As for root urls in comments, most comments systems on blogs allow you to enter your url and your name becomes a link to it on the comment header. If people are interested they'll click through. Otherwise, your comment wasn't interesting enough and adding a root url will just make it even less appealing to some. - Lindsay Donaghe
I'm just trying to figure out who you're trying to persuade... Some people are offended by the impression that someone is trying to sell them something (personal branding is basically selling yourself). You'll never get those people to concede that putting your url all over the place is something that will make them like you or give you attention. But do you really WANT their attention? If you do, you'll need to respect that and modify your behavior... if you don't then why worry about it? - Lindsay Donaghe
the answer always comes first, the question is just the doubt of the mind ... gangaji - Gregory Lent
I like that Gregory. So true. That's why I'm gonna continue my practice of making my website address a part of my signature within blog comments (only once per discussion), emails, social media profiles, etc. Why? Because my site is a part of who I am, just as much as my first and last name is, and I'm proud of it. Anyone who doesn't have interest in hearing further commentary out of me can simply not click it. But those who are will have a link to click on to get to know me better. No harm done. - IAmGHOSTBLOGGER.com-BradW
someday we will name our babies with a url. problem over ... :-) - Gregory Lent
There ya go. Do what makes you happy. Just accept that it doesn't obligate everyone else to be happy with what you do (and that's ok). :) - Lindsay Donaghe
@Gregory I LOL'd on that one! I think I'll name mine TwoGirlsOneCup.com @Lindsay I think our debate might have been the most sophisticated one we'll hear all week (If ya politically know what I mean - Hardy-har-har. ;-) Truce ;-) - IAmGHOSTBLOGGER.com-BradW
