Which future for Social Web?

The real question it is to know how is going to involve all social’s websites like MySpace, Twitter, Facebook or Digg’s like. In fact user lost a lot of times for going to one website to another one and can get overstress by this fact. Why going updating Twitters if I just updated MySpace? Why loosing my time with this entire websites?

In my humble opinion, I think the next version for Social Web will be an aggregator of this entire websites in just one. Just one website to update Twitters, Blog, MySpace and Facebook. I think the first starts of this future is shown by the website http://friendfeed.com/ which allow you aggregating updating from different social’s websites.

In fact, it is just my opinion… wait and see…

Swing Tips : JDialog with special icon and in taskbar

posted by cba in April 17th, 2008 
in java   Tags: dev, java, swing, tips

The main problem with JDialog is that it is not appear by default in taskbar. (You know it is where application are at the bottom on your screen, near the Start menu.) Further more I like my JDialog also got a identified icon.

The first time I search for resolving this two problems, I found one solution for each problem but they don’t work together. After a few tries, I found the best way to do it.
This is my JDialog’s constructor :

public MasterPasswordForm() {
super(null,ModalityType.TOOLKIT_MODAL);
setIconImage(new ImageIcon( getClass().getResource("/images/icon.gif") ).getImage());
setLocationRelativeTo(null);
initialize();
jDialog = this;
}

The call to super’s contructor make application appear in taskbar.

The setIconImage’s function do for my icon !

The setLocationRelative to null it is for centering my Jdialog !

And this is a perfect integrated JDialog !

This tips is easy to find nevermind I post it to have a note about it.

For example in a JDialog or JFrame constructor :

this.setLocationRelativeTo(null);

A social updater

posted by cba in April 8th, 2008

Today, I was thinking about a software which allowing you to update every social website by only one used.

A simple form with a button and two texts inputs : One for a message and one for an URL.

The user enter it message and click on the button then Twitter, Gtalk status, MySpace status, Facebook are updated with this messages. And if user enter an URL then it is submited to del.icio.us or digg….

It seems a good idea, but I don’t know if a lot of people will be interested. My last experience with my jabber twitter bridge let me think that people doesn’t seem to like this sort of software.

So my question is how to get more people using my software. I think I must find the idea. The software which will be interesting for more than 4 persons.

Furthermore, if you got any idea let me a comment.
