2009-06-26T20:05:06Z 70203 0 Nowadays people when don’t have the time to read a lot of books or even blogs, it’s neat to have something like twitter to integrate short messaging service, internet chat, linkblogging and social networking. 443157302 2008-10-09T01:08:57Z 72810 2146-01-04T20:56:35Z Twitter 24218 2009-11-29T04:22:02Z http://twitter.com http://wakoopa.com/software/twitter http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/125/864/normal.png?1248768125 http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/125/864/thumb.png?1248768125 36536 Twitter Inc. http://wakoopa.com/developers/twitter-inc 23 Social networks http://wakoopa.com/categories/internet/social-networks mac web Twitter is a free social networking and micro-blogging service that allows its users to publish updates (known as tweets) and read other users' updates (also known as tweets). Twitter now offers 'lists' which allow you to group your followers and/or non-followers into different lists (public or private), so perhaps subjects include family, friends, co-workers, etc. This is especially useful if you are following thousands of people, and want to see just a certain amount of peoples' tweets without unfollowing thousands of people, or constantly checking various profiles for new updates. 2009-06-08T22:39:20Z 65649 0 If you think it is not a webapp, go ahead and prove it. I’ve posted some pro-arguments before, you are welcome to provide some counter-arguments to them. If you cannot (and it makes sense that you cannot, if you really have to access there), then I guess it stays. 25787400 2009-05-29T12:38:07Z 235490 2145-12-19T04:53:27Z Leprosorium 711 2009-11-13T18:06:44Z http://leprosorium.ru http://wakoopa.com/software/leprosorium http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/127/850/normal.png?1249177998 http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/127/850/thumb.png?1249177998 70680 Futurico http://wakoopa.com/developers/futurico 23 Social networks http://wakoopa.com/categories/internet/social-networks web Leprosorium.ru is truly a gem of Russian Internet.

It’s an AJAX application (HTML+JavaScript+backend) that requires a remote connection and relies on a web browser to work. Leprosarium is not a news site, the only news that you see there are the ones that the users decide to link to inspire discussions. Unlike BoingBoing, which is a blog, Leprosarium is a multiblog, which means a lot of people are allowed to post there. And it’s not a forum at all (never has been). You can go to LiveJournal.com, get a paid account and get your own blog that will be woven into the blogosphere stream, it will appear in search results, it will be possible to aggregate it by friending mechanism, etc. Alternatively, you can go to Leprosorium.ru, get a paid account and get your own blog ("sub-lepra") that will be woven into the blogosphere stream ("lepra live"), it will appear in the repository ("underground"), and it will be possible to aggregate it by setting the view parameters, etc. The differences are minuscule, really. I know you’ve been thinking that “Lepra is not as it used to be”, but let’s face the facts: technically it’a blogging platform feature-wise. And that’s only for blogging, don’t make me start on all the other parts of this webapp like live stream, live chat, internal money transfers, gifting sub-service ("Anonymous Santa Claus"), a wiki, etc, etc. 25787400 2009-05-29T12:38:07Z 235490 2145-12-19T04:53:27Z Leprosorium 711 2009-11-13T18:06:44Z http://leprosorium.ru http://wakoopa.com/software/leprosorium http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/127/850/normal.png?1249177998 http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/127/850/thumb.png?1249177998 70680 Futurico http://wakoopa.com/developers/futurico 23 Social networks http://wakoopa.com/categories/internet/social-networks web Leprosorium.ru is truly a gem of Russian Internet.

I never use it for professional activities, but for all of my hobbies it's cool. Contributing is also a nice way to kill some time while sharing your knowledge with the world. If you like this one, try Wikia, too - it's kinda the same, but with more specialised sub-wikis. 359940136 2007-06-04T07:07:08Z 30323 2146-01-03T20:31:08Z Wikipedia 31545 2009-11-29T18:25:04Z http://www.wikipedia.org http://wakoopa.com/software/wikipedia http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/088/144/normal.png?1245699833 http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/088/144/thumb.png?1245699833 35469 Wikimedia Foundation http://wakoopa.com/developers/wikimedia-foundation All things educational 57 Educational http://wakoopa.com/categories/office/educational web Wikipedia is a free, multilingual encyclopedia project operated by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation. Its name is a portmanteau of the words wiki (a technology for creating collaborative websites) and encyclopedia. Wikipedia's 10 million articles, about a quarter of which are in English, have been written collaboratively by volunteers around the world, and almost all of its articles can be edited by anyone who can access the Wikipedia website. Launched in 2001 by Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger, it is currently the largest and most popular general reference work on the Internet. Everybody is free to edit the pages, but on wikipedia they prefer that you make a user account. 2009-03-12T16:34:09Z 47520 0 A game that feels a lot like the real forum/blog trolling ;) 1334363 2008-10-22T15:34:22Z 155931 2009-11-27T22:52:55Z Forumwarz 312 2009-09-04T04:13:07Z http://forumwarz.com http://wakoopa.com/software/forumwarz http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/090/895/normal.png?1246059923 http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/090/895/thumb.png?1246059923 37272 Crotch Zombie Productions http://wakoopa.com/developers/crotch-zombie-productions 44 Adventure & RPG http://wakoopa.com/categories/games/adventure-rpg web Forumwarz is a multiplayer browser-based role-playing game which is a parody of Internet culture.
