Wired’s Celebrity Meter Measures Your Internet Popularity

I just found this interesting widget from Wired that measures your popularity in the internet. All you have to do is enter your MySpace URL, Twitter URL and your personal website of blog. So how does this widget work? It crawls to your personal pages and scores your internet fame based on websites linking to your blog/website, your friends on your social networks and pages linking to your photos.

If you ask me, it sounds like their ranking algorithm is somewhat similar to how Google ranks a page, which is by counting the number of links to a certain page. The Celebrity Meter is still in beta phase. As you can see, the only social networking site available in it is MySpace. This means that if you more friends in Facebook, you’ll probably get a much lower score than MySpace users. You can expect to see more social networking sites added to Celebrity Meter in the near future.

You can embed Celebrity Meter to your blogs or website to give your readers a bit of fun by checking their internet popularity right on your site. Users can also measure their popularity by comparing scores with internet celebs linked on the widget or from a custom list created by the owner of the site. Check out the widget below.

Zup: Inter-Social Network Communication Tool

Social networking’s goal is to easily keep in touch with your friends online, but with so many out there, each with a certain charisma to lure users into using their service, it often results to scattered online friends on different social networks. There are people who are hard core Facebook users and there are MySpace fanatics but it doesn’t mean that they can’t still be friends and have a little chat with each other.

Zup is a social networking messaging tool that makes it easy to stay in touch with friends on different social networks. This will somewhat unify the social networking scene by just adding the tool. You can stay loyal to your social networking service while keeping in touch with your other online buddies on another social network. This is a great tool to have around for your social networking account just in case you run into somebody using a different one.

If you are a member of different social networks, Zup also links all your social network accounts together so you can see all your messages on any social network. Users can access their Zup messages and friends from any social network by logging in with their Zup Key.

The service currently works on Facebook, Orkut, MySpace and Hi5. More Social Networks are being added all the time so if your favorite social network isn’t here, don’t worry it soon will be.

Today Is International Delete Your Myspace Account Day

I just found this post on Mixx from xrrg and it got me curious on what is it all about. When I read the post all it says are these directions:

1. Goto MySpace.com and login.
2. Click the Home link.
3. Click Account Settings link.
4. Under Change Account Settings, click the -Cancel Account- link.
5. Click the Cancel My Account button to confirm removal.

When I searched Google to find out what it is all about, I discovered that this viral campaign was started by Simon of Bloggasm who declared this day (January 30) as International Delete Your MySpace Account Day.

That’s it, I’ve had it. After months of only visiting my MySpace profile in order to delete spam friend requests from half-nude women, I’ve reached the end of the line.

It seemed that Simon and an enormous amount of people have had it with MySpace that they are willing to support his movement. I personally never liked MySpace (I have an account but never used it). I am more of a Facebook fan, and other social networking sites that have actually some use other than bringing you Spam messages from half naked girls and birthday reminders that you don’t really need. People are concerned with a lot of things MySpace related (privacy issues, terrible page layouts, redundant clicks for simple tasks and so on). According so Bloggasm, a MySpace representative responded to this campaign.

One blogger has declared January 30th “International Delete Your MySpace Account Day”.

But MySpace doubts that this will have a great impact on their network.

“This Delete-Your-MySpace day is just about being controversial,” Ms Horne said.

“MySpace is still the biggest social networking site in the world.”

In the words of BBC comedian Catherine Tate, MySpace does not look bothered.

Are you going to delete your Myspace account? If yes, then just follow the instructions above. Happy International Delete Your MySpace Account Day to you all.

Free Music Zilla: Silly Name, Great Software

Free Music Zilla is a desktop tool specialized for social music downloading. This is the first time I have heard of Free Music Zilla and I have to admit that the name sounds kind of funny, but who cares about the name, the important thing is functionality. Free Music Zilla is the first in its kind that enables you to download free music from Imeem, Last.FM, Pandora, Myspace, eSnips, Mog, iJigg, Radio.blog.club and almost all social music services. As the forerunner of social music downloader, Free Music Zilla first broke the limitation of anti-leech from music websites (such as IMEEM, Last.fm) which are based on that technology, so that users can download successfully.

You can download the software for free but it will limit you to ten downloads per day to prevent abuse of the application, but it still doesn’t escape the fact that Free Music Zilla can be used to for the improper downloading of copyrighted materials.
