What’s eXlinks all about, then?
February 22nd, 2007
Ryan’s Universe mentions a new service intended to drive more people to your site, called eXlinks. Currently available for prelaunch signup, it’s from the BlogMad team. BlogMad has certainly driven quite a bit of traffic here, so I’ll be interested to see what eXlinks is all about.

Free 3D graphics software
February 18th, 2007
Looking to create some 3D artwork?
Daz3d have produced an excellent 3D graphics program, DAZ|Studio, which can be freely downloaded from their website. Windows and Power Mac OS versions are available.
It’s worth having a look at the DAZ|Studio galleries to see the calibre of art this package can output. Registered users are able to access the forums, which are full of helpful tips and support, and additional free models can be downloaded by those who have registered. In addition, vast amounts of content and addons, such as models of people, animals and buildings can be purchased. In particular, joining the Platinum Club brings all manner of discounts and privileges, so if you’re comfortable using the software, you’ll have access to all kind of building blocks for your art or project.
The software itself is under continual development, and is updated fairly frequently.
Recommended.

Tracking online conversations
February 11th, 2007
When you consider all of the websites you’ve visited that allow you to leave comments on blog posts, forums etc, it’s a difficult and time-consuming exercise checking whether anyone has replied to a question or comment you’ve left.
coComment is a useful tool for tracking these online conversations. For Firefox users, there’s an extension which will alert you if someone’s left a comment after yours. Users of other browsers can add a bookmarklet to their browser toolbar.
Integration with Technorati is straightforward, and there’s a plugin available for WordPress, too. Code is also available on the coComment website for users of other blogging software.
I find coComment indispensable.
