Hey, Firefox 3 RC1 is out, you can try it there The bad things with Firefox is memory leaks and CPU hurricanes dealing with flash objects. Anyway it's far better than Safari!

When the web became social, users were put under influence of blogs, forums and wikis. "I believe the bloggers and their ideas, they are my friends and will tell me the truth, unlike advertisements." As Homer says D'oh!

Interactive applications made the web fake and full of "let's be friend, buy my product" people. Playing on interactivity, bringing emotion, printing brain with attachment, linking emotions with brands, building trust is the key.

"Oh I am so excited, I just bought the new Wakawaka, it is so nice, did you see packaging, so cute, here are some pictures, Oh I love so much this product, I was waiting for it, I dreamt of it, it's what I've always need, it's small, I can bring it with me everywhere, and see how it is useful, I can do this and that, Oh I am so pleased, it was a good purchase choice and blabla ..." That the way it is, don't be the pigeon!
