“Keeping track of all your ‘virtual’ contacts on the various networks will is not easy, especially as the quantity of social networks you are registered to increased, and your global network increases as well. Locating a user you wish to collaborate with, can become tedious and subtract from the effectiveness of the networks and the effectiveness for you to be able to locate a specific user.

ViCo for Lotus Notes can help with this by importing all of your contacts from all supported social networks and providing them in a single point of access, a Lotus Notes database, allowing sorting and searching and categorising of the documents by network. The product also allows you to add specific contacts onto your Personal Address Book in Lotus Notes, making those contacts available in type-ahead searches from within the Lotus Notes mail file. The application also allows automatic synchronisation of changes of contact information direct to the Personal Address Book”

Unfortunately this product is not for free (approx. 49 euro/license). See this the Notes-Solutions website. Maybe a free version should be made for personal use as a lot of companies still do not see the benefit of social networks :)

  1. Bad Search (and doing search right can be a real pain in the ass)
  2. PDF Files for Online Reading (great for manuals and stuff-that-goes-straight-to-the-printer, but I don’t want to have to read your PDF to know what your products are)
  3. Not Changing the Color of Visited Links (or not having clearly distinctive links at all)
  4. Non-Scannable Text
  5. Fixed Font Size
  6. Page Titles With Low Search Engine Visibility
  7. Anything That Looks Like an Advertisement
  8. Violating Design Conventions
  9. Opening New Browser Windows (my firefox opens these up in a new tab instead, but still)
  10. Not Answering Users’ Questions (companies still tend to forget that web is a bi-directional medium and is becoming more and more so)

PHP frameworks are the latest hot topic in the PHP community, and new frameworks are being released daily. With over 40 frameworks available it’s difficult to decide which framework works best for your project, especially as each framework offers different functionality.

In this article we will look at a few popular frameworks, and compare them to each other.

Zend Framework

The Zend Framework is still pretty new, so there’s still a few things to come (like a user authentication module), but it does already have quite a lot. Although it doesn’t have a lot of checks in the chart, the Zend Framework does include other modules, to handle PDF files, RSS feeds, Web Services (Amazon, Flickr, Yahoo), and more. The Zend Framework also includes several different database objects, making it extremely simple to query your database, without having to write any SQL yourself.

At the moment the Zend Framework doesn’t come with a full-blown ORM, but the framework developers are still debating whether to add an ORM layer or not. This might be something we see in the future, and you can always write your own ORM implementation, and have it added to the framework, as it accepts user contributions.

The Zend Framework is looking quite promising, and is definitely working to fix the common PHP problems. The stable version will probably have a lot more checks in the comparison chart!

I like this example very much although it still can be improved from usability point of view.
