There are other indicators; for example, the page uses a plugin called All-In-One-SEO which is one of the major WordPress plugins at the moment. It’s just great to be proficient in a platform that’s so widespread.

Here’s an interesting stat they pull together on their announcement:

If everyone uses Google Instant globally, we estimate this will save more than 3.5 billion seconds a day. That’s 11 hours saved every second.

It’s funny really, because if it wasn’t for this case, I would never have known what those boots were; don’t think I’d ever have come across them in my every day life.

Interesting anecdote, huh?

Locaccino is the only location-sharing system that gives you precision control over who can see your location. While most location-based systems only allow you to list which of your contacts should or shouldn’t be able to see your location, our privacy settings allow you to create rules as simple or complex as you want them to be!

Our technology allows you to easily define the times when you want to share your locations. Locaccino lets you create groups for your friends to simplify your location preferences. With Locaccino, allowing your co-workers to see your location from 8AM – 5PM is a snap.

Locaccino also allows you to specify where you can be located. Using a Google maps interface, you can define regions where you do and don’t want other people to be able to find you.

Sounds pretty cool, doesn’t it? I like the emphasis on privacy above all else, after all, you wouldn’t want your boss to know you’re shopping for landscape lighting when you’re supposed to be at work, now, would you?

The transition to Facebook as worked well, using your social graph to make the game much more fun than it ever used to be. You also get a bunch of power ups, from Boosts to Blue Advantage to all sorts of power ups. Check out out .. just make sure you have loads of free time before you get stuck in.

It has an interesting viral element where you compete with your friends for high scores; so if you’re my friend on Facebook, you’ll see my score compared to yours and all the other friends in your network that play the game. Pretty compelling I though!

The great thing about WordPress is that it allows you to manage your content easily. The problem with static HTML sites is that they’re a pain to update, and if you don’t have the skills, you have to pay someone else to do it for you. So check out your options, and make sure you find a way to update your site easily and cheaply. If you don’t know to do it, just drop me a line!

It’s just seeing these new markets develop that’s so interesting. The technologies we have today were just figments of someone’s imaginations yesterday and I’m hyped over what tomorrow can offer. Great isn’t it?

So what technology has inspired you today?

That’s a phenomenal amount of traffic when you think about it and you’re going to need more than just some roadside assistance to get there. You need to dedicate your efforts into building a website that people want to visit, that people will invite their friends to and won’t want to leave. Does that remind you of some site?

The best bit however is the combined core between WordPress and WordPress MU. This means that you can start with a single site installation and grow it into a multi user site. So you can start with an insurance site, and grow a new blog on health insurance, one on disability insurance and one for cars.
