Google libera seu encurtador de URLs para uso geral

Google libera seu encurtador de URLs para uso geral: "

Lançado em dezembro de 2009, o Google URL Shortener, o encurtador de endereços da empresa, estava disponível até então apenas nas ferramentas Google Toolbar e FeedBurner. Hoje, a empresa decidiu liberar o encurtador para uso geral. Isso significa que agora é possível encurtar qualquer URL acessando diretamente o site http://goo.gl.


O interessante é que, além de criar links curtos, o usuário pode obter dados estatísticos sobre cada endereço, como quantidade de cliques, país do usuário que clicou, assim como o navegador e o sistema operacional deste. Para isso, evidentemente, é necessário utilizar o URL Shortener 'logado' no Google.


Outro recurso que também merece destaque é a possibilidade de obter um QR Code do endereço gerado, uma espécie de código de barras que pode ser lido pela câmera digital de váriios telefones celulares:


QR Code InfoWester


QR Code: quando lida por um aparelho compatível, a imagem acima resultará no endereço http://goo.gl/YGXS, que aponta para o InfoWester

Para obter o QR Code, basta clicar no link Details de cada URL encurtada gerada.

Favigen, Favicon Generator

Favigen, Favicon Generator : " Favicons are small icons that help identify websites. They are used as a visual representation of a website both in the web browser and at many online services. The three most prominent locations of favicons are the browser’s address bar, the tabbar and the bookmarks folder. Many webmasters like to create custom favicons to add that custom identifier to their website. Favicons can be created in many image and icon editors, but also online.

All that it takes is to pick an image from the local hard drive first, select the dimensions of the favicon and click the submit button to make the service generate the favicon.

The generated favicon is displayed directly on the page. A click on do...

A simple rsync script to back up your home directory

A simple rsync script to back up your home directory : " Backing up important data is obviously something we should all do. Unfortunately, it is not always easy to make it happen. We get lazy; we do not have the additional hardware for a backup server; it takes a long time and a lot of CDs to back up to optical media; we do not trust online backup services; backup schemes are difficult to set up and use — any of dozens of reasons can stand in our way. Still, we know we should be backing up our important data. Modern open source Unix-like operating systems offer a plethora of options for incredibly simple, effective backup schemes, however. If the problem is figuring out how to set one up, a simple rsync solution may be exactly what you need. The rsync utility is used to synchronize files between two systems. It does so by way of incremental copies, only copying from the source to the destination what has not already been copied there, saving time, network bandwidth, and syst...
