Mussage for iPhone musical message

What is Mussage?

I leave a video explaining what it is and how it works

YouTube link

The idea

A simple idea with elements that already exist but combinandos a new way, I will explain through some key concepts:

  • Most people use text messaging
  • Messages are sent between friends, family and partner.
  • Everyone likes listening to music.
  • They all store huge amounts of songs on the iPod, between 1,000 and 7,000 depending on the capacity of the device.

From this thought: Would not it be nice to send a song with a text to a friend? and the reality is that there is no application that let you do this easily. Another obstacle is the copyright of the artists ...

EUREKA!

Why not send a text message to a friend with a song you have on your own smartphone?
I often happens that as I have so many songs on my iPhone never really know what I have kept records and artists, and occasionally use the Random mode for music and I find myself saying "I did not know I had this song."
Yet another positive point is that the idea is that the songs you have are your favorite ones you like. So if I send a song to a user of your own library of songs, it's hard not to like it!.
Best of all: it is simple to program it on iPhone, does not require a monster computer or months of work, at least to develop the basic idea. Obviously then you can improve and add features, but the concept of the idea is realizable by a single developer.

Birth

Thus was born Mussage-mixing of English words Music + Message-an application developed in a week , as I said in a previous post. It was a tough week, hours and hours of programming, design and learning!. Submission for review of Apple and is now approved!

Available in iTunes AppStore

The application is ready to drop your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPhone in the Apple App Store to download now click on the image:
It is version 1.1 with significant improvements made to the previous version.
Also invited to visit the Web Mussage in http://www.na8.com.ar/mussage that has additional information on the application.

Future

I want to thank my Wapis that helped me in the drawings of the video-tutorial and made a video recording of the story of super good! In addition, the logo is also her!. Thank you very much!
The future of the application will be watching, surely you can do many improvements! I welcome your comments and suggestions!
You may develop a version for Android and specific to the iPhone screen size.

Living on the Web with Chrome OS

7 comments March 31st, 2011 7 comments

The Chrome OS is an operating system (OS) created by Google which main characteristic is based on the network. This means that the only software you need is a web browser.

The manufacturer takes the premise that all activities are conducted daily on the Internet, our computer thus becomes a "dumb terminal" where only tipeamos web site addresses and execute our tasks.

At the moment there is a " pilot program "(for residents) to test the OS on which Google provides a Notebook Cr-48 (ugly name!) it takes to boot a brief 10 seconds. So what we see on screen is a minimalist web browser: Chrome.

How is Chrome OS?

As we begin our session with the computer using Gmail, we access our mail, contacts, calendar and chat. The browser sync and keep our state in case the notebook fails, exploited, stolen or you simply logging in to another machine with Chrome OS and keep all the state it was: open tabs in the same order, the documents "self -saved "with the last words typed and chat with someone asking" are you there? ".

To edit documents online have the Google Docs, where you can write text, complete spreadsheets, making "Powerpoint presentations." Also through the Chrome Market we have access to hundreds of free and paid applications that offer solutions to all the needs we have: productivity, lifestyle, communication and most importantly, games.

Some pros

Todd is updated TooDo alone, ie the operating system, which basically consists of being a webbrowser, is regularly updated to keep us safe from the internet and the latest online innovations to date.
The system is super lightweight and running quickly, we think that technically the entire processor and computer memory is dedicated exclusively to sail "comfortable" on the Internet. And that's a lot of processing power and speed in 2011.

Some points against

Have all our files, photos, videos and upload to the network identity is a bit scary if someone managed to figure out our personal access key.

So ...

All this could not have existed a few years ago, it took a lot of fast computers and memory, internet, a society that increasingly turns to the network to share knowledge, the development of HTML5, Web 2.0, the appearance of Cloud computing, mobile telephony, cheaper costs and all that to put our lives-compressed-on multiple servers in the world.

The Chrome OS is a good approach to a new operating system, to shake the Microsoft Windows saga that was to dominate the home market for over 20 years and worry-at least, the rebound in OS X from Apple. It has good advantages especially for its speed and simplicity of use and integration of the powerful and great multipurpose "Google world".

Permit definitive guide on facebook

8 comments November 26th, 2010 8 comments

New version of this report: tutorial circles / lists facebook , this is old.

All facebook users should know such as permits, but straw hot dogs, FIAC, or simply because it can not be understood as given, we leave them as is, assuming that what you say Mark Zuckerberg ( which is longer facebook owner) is fine. Wow that is not so! basically most of our content is published!, This guide made me think a bit long but worth reading at least once concientizarte at first may sound abstract, but then with examples is to understand the idea, so a little spice to make it easy and enjoyable to read :)

As facebook proposed to handle the issue of permits (although it is quite configurable) I think that not enough or not well defined and often confusing, this guide aims to show where and how you can set up an efficient way (can seem far-fetched and it is but it is effective)

Definitions: (those which use for this guide)

  • Friends: More than friends are contacts, and are "persons" to which we have them as direct contact, throughout this guide will appoints several times, I always say imagine that quote.
  • Friend Lists: Within group can optionally facebook friends for something we want, typically to group friends by categories: school, laburo, etc..
  • Networks: Networks are generally at first were provinces and countries, are now institutions such as colleges, universities, etc..
  • Permissions: These are just that, you give read and write permissions to your content networks, people and / or groups.
  • Contents: Wall, comments, photos, notes, links, etc, everything that we provide to facebook.

Typical scenarios:

  • We grouped the friends in "college" and "work" obviously some classmates are friendlier than others and undesirable, and we want anyone to write on the wall a couple of monkeys for X reasons, it is with the group " work, "quick fix: block some people level permissions, quick fix +: remove as contact :)
  • We are a celebrity and want to raise a little ego : P have many many friends, the problem is that anyone can write on the wall of this character can therefore be used as espaciopublicitario to advertise or just fuck me / us.
  • We "hunt" in facebook, minita shot at that crossroads, fell one in your tentacles, but it is not much like the picture of your avatar (commentary aside, the photos of the avatars are usually the best photo of the person, some incredibly achieved a photo "good", after thousands of attempts to clear ... learn it all at once!) but lo and behold that is what you decide to give him a chance, you should at least be nice, after a few grogs one thing led to another and we know how the story ends. virtudes en tu propio wall, en muchos casos no vas a querer que lo haga, pero tampoco la eliminas de tus contactos puede servir de backup , uno nunca sabe (obviamente tambien se aplica a mujeres). Now the thing this girl can talk about your size potential virtues in your own wall, in many cases you will not want to do, but neither will delete your contacts can serve as a backup, you never know (obviously also applies to women ).
  • For the antisocial (the question is that hell is on facebook, but bueh) and just want some friends do not have access to anything and others have access to something in particular and other (one or two friends) have access to everything.

There are clearly many more ...

Note: I must say that this guide is something I came up to me and implementation is inspired by the group management and permissions nodal Unix and other systems.

LISTS:

What I propose is to separate two concepts using the lists of friends:

  • Categorized lists: Work, studies, etc.
  • Lists by type of permit: Types of access to your information (Setting permissions applied to lists, not individuals).

These two concepts operated out facebook friends lists serve different "functions" is to define a category to which it belongs and the other friend will say you can do in your profile.

To give me some things, I gave permission number (level) and name, that shows where all the lists appear as I ordered and do not appear in between, with this desire to display time, knowing that first appear permits and then lists.

As an example I show my lists:

(To create a list Just do it from various locations or from "Account", "Edit Friends" tab on the left "Friends" top button "Create New List")

're Obviously free to list the amount you feel is necessary, these are my personal and they can serve as a base.

Thus we have separated the types of relationships with friends, and permissions.
In my case, create four permission settings, 0-AccessDenied: only looks exactly the same as the public profile, 1-ReadOnly: you can view content, can not comment or write anything, 2-Limited: Same as 1 but can comment, 3-FreeForAll: You have permission to everything.

The idea is to assign each of your friends at least two lists: one is the category (you probably already have this done, however it is not necessary here) and the other is the permissions (this if you have to assign, for each), can be hard I know, but can save you headaches in the future.

After allocating your friends lists should stay like this:

PERMITS / PRIVACY

From the "Profile Information" is where we control most of the actions of your friends to you, see how it is configured.
From "Contact information" basically control the tab "Information" (which you can also handle some permissions from the flap) and applies the same way that "infromacion profile."

Go to "Profile Information":
Almost every section has the same options (except "photo album" that is configured the same way but at the album)

By clicking on the triangle unfold options, each option means, but is also the option of "personalizing", click on edit

And here's all the magic:

From here configure who can take action promptly on each section of information, then we can decide at that person can do, but would be very difficult to do friend for friend, and eventually come into play here the lists of permits, instead of assigning friends assign lists (like the example above), basically what we do is say who can access the content but friends who are on these lists can not.

For each section we define that list of friends can not access this section.

Example: Who can write on my Wall / wall (from "Publications of friends", customize):

We define that lists can not write on the wall, in my case 0, 1 and 2

To confirm that what we are doing this well for our taste, we have the option to view the public profile, and as you see certain friend, click on the "View My Profile" (top right), the first thing we see is public, then you got a text area for the name of a friend, and see how this go to your profile, it is important that as you play with the permission settings go hand in hand seeing as you are " "watching.

Note that it denied the permissions takes precedence over the access, that is if a person is in two groups, one block, this person will be blocked.

This configuration is so for each section, if this does not describe each section would end more, more or less understand that they are, if you get to read this far, and to understand the mechanism and this applies to all permits, so what PODES do by himself :)

Finally finished, I did a lot longer than I thought I wanted to be teaching to be understood, I hope I have achieved.

Ok ok, may have exaggerated the title :)

If you liked this article and think it's useful, difundilo, thanks :)

NOTES:

  • Each time you add friends to remember to apply the lists!
  • In the chat you are the lists, you prune to hide them.
  • The NTU network is only as examples, not study there.
  • I found a way to block Tague (labels), I think is a flaw, so create this group to claim it , if you agree, Agregat ;)
  • The only downside I see to this methodology is the "maintenance" when a person goes to "level" of friendship, is manual in this case the matter.
  • This also applies to applications that have pages and profiles / tabs

Search ads for Argentina

I want to comment on a new tecnolocura, a search engine ads for Argentina and other 15 countries .
What the hell does this search engine?
It is divided into three vertical search engines, here I tell them each with examples.
Car Finder : If you are looking for a ford fiesta to give to your child for the 18, this is your place, we have almost all the cars that were posted on the sites selling used cars from Argentina (if you pass it by turning 18 this Post your parents)
Property Search : out there looking for something to rent or buy, instead of looking at several sites selling / rental properties, I recommend that you do from Ponupo. It's tiring to go site by site right? Although each has its special touch.
Job Seeker : Now with Ponupo, I can fix if there are any jobs in Persian or Freddo ice cream, what will I choose? By that I deduct my salary consumisiones ;)

Who am I? The top of the cap : P

Crystian thank you very much for allowing me to promote Ponupo!

What is Twitter and what is

1 comment September 3rd, 2010 a comment

What is Twitter?

Twitter emerges as a tool similar to a blog but in which we limited our number of characters per article to write 140 letters. It resembles a box where we place our "status" (as in the MSN Messenger or gTalk) where you write briefly your current mood, what are you doing, a thought or phrase. Currently links to blogs or share news, photos and videos.

Just do not get it! To which I use?

Throughout the remainder of this report, we'll try to answer that question. Many people still have never used Twitter ask if there blogs, instant messaging, Facebook needed this new service. The reality is that Twitter introduced new concepts that did not exist and it was so strong. On the one hand to have a limited capacity forces the text you type to be concise and to the point. On the other hand there are new definitions and roles as the "followers" (did not exist before) and explain a little better below.

New concepts: followers and real-time news

Unlike Facebook, where two people to contact both must be accepted, on Twitter you can follow another person without her to be our "friend". That is the concept of Follower. And we can go to many people and others may be interested in following us and what we say in our tweets.
The other concept that was born with Twitter is the real-time news and created or reported by the same twitter. I will explain, when the service won an important critical mass of users and still be able to tweet from your mobile phone, began to broadcast news and developments long before they appear on TV or radio. A good example was when a plane crashed in New York , where the accident was covered in real time on twitter, that is, as I went through the people who were in the vicinity of the place. And all that coverage was before it hits CNN or other media.

No intermediaries: Celebrities on Twitter

When generating a direct link between "follower and followed" our Time Line we can link with news writing celebrities, famous, trademark or other characters that interest us. The novelty of this is that there has never been as direct a route relationship between the "fan" and "God." The other day I heard that Alanis Morissette was pregnant by her own words in your tweet. Think before to learn of such news was still a circuit much longer and complicated: the singer's representative notifies half, then that raises the intermediary release (Reuters) and finally reaches some local online newspaper then discuss some announcer on the radio.

Facebook Vs Twitter

If I have Facebook, you need to have Twitter? are not the same? Answer: They are not the same. While there are social networks because we link with various individuals and share comments and opinions are very different. One of the differences and said and lies in the connection between users is not necessarily bidirectional and Facebook. Also Twitter is characterized by very simple: a short text, perhaps a link and go. Facebook is a cluster of services: upload photos and videos, events calendar, online games, polls and much more. The simplicity of Twitter makes it very practical for use from mobile phones to read so as to update the state of their own.

Natural history: the hashtags

Twitter was born in early 2006 and was gradually changing and there were improvements. A very interesting feature that emerged by the users themselves were the "hashtags." The hastags are labels used to identify the Twitt and it is used and character #. For example could be used # music , # movies or now it is increasingly common to see job search tags with # employment . They are very useful when real-time search and filter information.

So Twitter is for ...

In conclusion we can say I do not know specifically what it is Twitter, you probably have several different functions depending on how each person uses it. But perhaps generalizing a bit longer because of what we described above we can say that Twitter is an online communication tool, bounded and concise.

How to start?

If I could convince you, at least a little bit, that Twitter serves and is useful for something, you can start by going to twitter.com and create an account with your username. Recommendation: record a short name!.

And if you want contact me my username is @ jbagnato , Greetings!

Multitouch. Farewell to click

2 comments June 21st, 2010 2 comments

The mouse came with the popularity of the PC and was one of the reasons for any "simple individual" can handle easily the computer back in 1995. Before he had to make things as difficult as typing "cd wordpress" on the keyboard to access a directory. But now you could double click on a folder.

This great revolution which in turn caused the peripheral (and just as my parents are about to understand the diferncia between a right click and left click) is about to disappear to be replaced by the multitouch.

While Apple always stood out to offer its users friendly interfaces (such as when he created the one-button mouse) managed to bring their screens millions of users with unprecedented multi-touchscreen mobile phone: the iPhone.

The Touchscreen already existed

It transcends memory, many years before the release of the iPhone in 2007 and existed touch screens and were recognized product Palm. The PDA never succeeded. Perhaps because they were imitating the click of a mouse but with a plastic tipped pen that put pressure on the screen (the stylus). And like a cursor, you are only in one place at once.

I remember seeing pictures of the launch of the iPhone on the internet and think "but who wants to touch the screen with your hands?". I was crazy. Is that for decades we have been accustomed to pushing buttons (like Desmond on Lost: "Push the button!"). Cell phones were all with numeric keypad and some offered full QWERTY keyboards (and tiny useless).

So ... how to break the old paradigm of push buttons to dial a phone number? At that time there was a Palm touchscreen model mobile phone which was also and had very few sales. What is the difference besides the iPhone was much more fashion?

The difference is the Multitouch. And the technology that brought.

Without going into too much detail I'll try to explain the difference between multitouch system introduced by Apple with its iPhone and the touchscreen system "classic" (which are more like a click). The multitouch screen is a continuous flow of electricity over the entire visual area where the finger is stopped posing. And that disruption is reflected in the device as a "touch". It has the ability to interrupt that flow curtain simultaneously (using multiple fingers at once) getting the multitouch. No need to put pressure on the screen. REPEAT: no need to put pressure on the screen!. This new system dispensed with the use of plastic pencils or other items. With the fingers of the hand, so easy.

We must say q ue iPhone with multitouch was accompanied by an operating system for you. The best example to adopt this technology is to manipulate photos with your hands. When you open a photo and you zoom with two fingers is a completely natural experience. You do not have to click a magnifying glass, or a "plus" or type "200%". You move your thumb and forefinger. It's simple intuitive is incredible. NEXT Skip to the photo by dragging your finger or zoom back to the original with a "double tap" (two consecutive touch). Same for manipulating maps, draw or play Field Runner.

Once you start using the multitouch and no turning back. You do not want to use more of the mouse. I find this ridiculous, outdated past. Why move a plastic gizmo when I could touch the screen to select what you want?.

Goodbye to the mouse, throw it away.

What the hell is Google Alert!?

No comments February 28th, 2009 No comments

google-alert This handy service from google, what it does is inform us of new search results for a given criterion.




That is, every time someone "talk" about something that interests me google tells me Mr.?
Sure chango!

Every time Google indexed (added to their database) applies pages searches for " Google Alerts "and if found something related to the criteria that will let us back a mail (now RSS ), the frequency is three: "A per day "," Once a week "or" In the event, "and we have 3 types of alerts:" Web "," News "," Groups "or" Comprehensive "(which are the 3 options above).

So for that we use this?, To track a subject and so many people talking, to see how the competition is doing, or to see how we impact us on the internet! hehe :) .

As an example, I have my alerts to "eltecnoloco" and another with "trucacho" (among many others), then every time someone talks about any of these words, I received an email telling me where I speak. When the monkey fedepasifico published the trucacho Taringa , this was the warning I received mail:

google-alert-trucacho



Well, I hope that this simple yet powerful tool will be useful to track topics that most interest them.
