SocialMedia, a company that specializes in advertising across social networks, has released a new form of advertising dubbed the “WOMI”, or Word of Mouth Impression. WOMI campaigns present visitors with ads asking them for some kind of input either though a multiple choice question or using a text field. SocialMedia then uses this input to customize ads which are shown to the user’s friends on the same social network.
For example, if an ad for Star Wars had a call-to-action asking if I was on the Light Side or Dark Side of the Force, it could take my response and then present my friends with an ad that said “Jason is on the Light Side, how about you?”. In turn, their responses are passed on to all of their friends, making this among the first kind of advertising with a viral element. This interaction makes the ads mini-social applications in and of themselves, and have proven to be very successful in trial campaigns.
Research firm Dynamic Logic found that over three months WOMI resulted in increased awareness, favorability, and purchases for the Fortune 500 company running the campaign. In fact, the campaign did so well that it placed among the top 20% of all social media campaigns ever analyzed by the firm, which has been in the business for nine years.
Sometimes trying out newer versions of Firefox, especially ones that are still in beta, comes at a cost. Since the version you’re running is so new, add-on developers haven’t had the chance to update their add-ons to work with the newer versions.
So this is when you stumble upon an add-on that conveys the following message to you: “This add-on is for older versions of Firefox”.
Fix Incompatible Add-ons
Since your sights are set on using Firefox extensions that keep telling you they’re incompatible with the version you have, and downgrading a version or two isn’t an option, now you can discover a nifty tool called Nightly Tester Tools.
Ironically this is a Firefox add-on that will help you make all other incompatible extensions compatible with the browser version you’re running.
What’s Next
The first step you need to take is to download Nightly Tester Tools here, if you haven’t already.
Next if you still have the extension that was disabled when you upgraded to a newer version of Firefox in your add-ons menu, then you will go to Tools/Add-ons and right-click on your disabled extension, then choose Override Compatibility.
Now it will ask you to confirm your selection by clicking Force Install.
The last step involves restarting Firefox to have your add-on fully working.
Bonus Features
Here you thought it was the end of this add-ons story but actually there are a few other features that this extension allows you to take full advantage of.
With Nightly Tester Tools you’re also able to take screenshots of any webpage and save them in JPEG format. You can easily restore tabs from a previous session if it just so happens that your PC froze and you didn’t have time to properly close your browser window.
Feel free to test all other Nightly Tester Tools features and let us know how you like them in a comment below!
Description: URL Snooper can identify URLs that are hidden behind javascript or activex scripts. It can be used to identify the URLs for streaming video and audio files so they can be downloaded locally.
URL Snooper is a so-called packing sniffing program. You need to tell it to start ’sniffing’ the network before you launch the browser page that contains the multimedia files you want to download. Here’s what you need to know about it:
* URL Snooper filters by multimedia sniffed URLs by default . If you’re looking for non-media URLs you can set it to ’show all’. * Can filter by keyword (or keywords). This is useful if you know something about the URL you’re trying to identify. For example, by filtering a specific domain name, you might increase your chances of honing in on the URL you want (assuming that the URL is from that domain name). * Allows user to set favorite URLs for quick access to these. * Allows user to define external application(s) that URL Snooper can default for streaming media downloads for quick access through the context menu.
Camino 2.0 Beta 2 contains several notable improvements, including Growl notifications for completed downloads, support for rearranging tabs by drag and drop, the ability to disable “Block Flash animation” on a per-site basis, tab overview, full content zoom, better support for Full Keyboard Access in the browser window, and a “Recently Closed Pages” menu. Camino 2.0 Beta 2 also has all of the improvements in version 1.9.0 of Mozilla’s Gecko rendering engine, leading to better performance with popular plug-ins and enhanced support for web standards.
Windows comes with a built in voice system, which I wanted to utilize recently. In this guide, you’ll learn a Visual Basic script that is only a few lines, which will give you a popup box you can use to type in anything you want your computer to say.
This script utilizes Microsoft’s speech API, which is installed on most Windows XP, Vista, and Seven installations; if this guide does not work, you do not have the SAPI.
Speak to me!
Copy the following text and paste it into Notepad
Dim message, sapi message=InputBox("What do you want me to say?","Speak to Me") Set sapi=CreateObject("sapi.spvoice") sapi.Speak message
Save the file as ‘speak.vbs‘ (be sure to include the .vbs)
Now double click on speak.vbs and you’ll see an input box. Type in your message, press enter, and listen to your computer speaking.
If this Doesn’t Work…
You’ve probably run in to one of two problems:
1. Your browser displays the quotation marks differently. Go back to the Notepad file and replace all the quotes (”). Save the file and try again.
2. You do not have the SAPI installed on your computer, so this will not work (very unlikely as this comes with Windows, but if you have a custom/pirate version this may be the case.)
