Use Facebook Lite per default
If you go to http://lite.facebook.com/settings/defaultsite/ you get the option of forcing your browser to choose Facebook Lite instead of the regular Facebook.
The Lite version reminds me of an upscaled mobile version, and I actually like it. It’s less cluttered and faster to load; what’s not to like?
(The fact that they even have to make a light version is messed up, though. Their reasons are stupid (it’s for people with slow connections), because they could just make their normal version better.)
How to track bookmarks related to a specific domain on delicious.com
Tonight Lisa Risager tweeted that a post of mine had inspired both her and Jason Santa Maria, evident by a bookmark on delicious.com.
Obviously happy about inspiring such a fine web designer as Jason, I wondered if I could find out how to track bookmarks from a domain, rather than a specific url.
Luckily, that’s pretty easy if you know a bit of Google-terms:
Just write “site:marks.dk” or “site:jasonsantamaria.com” or whatever – it’s up to you.
I can’t seem to find an RSS-feed for it, so if you know how to hack the delicious to serve it up, please leave a comment and I’ll update accordingly.
Google has removed the annoying “Sent on behalf of”-message in Gmail
Apparently, when you create an account nowadays on Gmail, and add another custom domain (e.g. @marks.dk), it doesn’t add the message “xxx@gmail.com sent on behalf of xxx@marks.dk” as it used to.
I just tested it with a couple of email addresses, in the following way:
1. Create a new Gmail-account
2. Go to Settings > Accounts and Import
3. Click “Send mail from another address”
4. Enter the email-address you want to send form (e.g. test@marks.dk)
5. Choose “Send through Gmail”
6. Click “Send Verification”
7. Gmail sends an email to the email-address you want to send on behalf of. Click the link.
8. Now you can send emails from gmail.com through a custom email-address with your own domain.
This behavior is new, but I really appreciate the change. A quick search will reveal lots of arguments from Google on why they had to add the text for security measures etc., but it’s changed now. Yay.
