TBuzz – tweet from your browser
Filed under: Conversation, New Web Creations, Web services
We’ve been followers of Arc90 experiments for some time. They always have an interesting take on additional widgets and bookmarklets that you can add to your browser toolbar.
TBUZZ is no different. Simply visit the TBUZZ web page and drag the TBUZZ button to your web browsers toolbar.
Then, whenever you want to share details of any web page you are visiting – hit the TBUZZ button. Get the details onto Twitter quickly.
Another great idea from ArcLab90. We like them. You might even TBUZZ one of our pages, but it’s not obligatory…
We have also featured Readability – another Arc90 project that strips out excessive advertising and text from web pages, making them cleaner and easier to read and print.
You can find the TBUZZ web page here.

Not all is technology in Japan
This blog post is a along way from tech news, but is deeply at the heart of new human experiences – made us think here.
I came across an entry on Cabel’s Blog about a visit to Japan. He entitled it the Kashiwa Mystery Cafe. Nice design centre, sunny day and, presumably, exhibits to view.
Visiting the cafe – you order a drink and a snack and food you didn’t order arrives. You are ordering, in faltering Japanese, food and drink for the person in the queue behind you.
Your food has been ordered by the person in front of you.
Fantastic – what a great way to break out of old habits, or habitual food prejudice?
Could we not apply this to one day of school meals? An extraordinary serving of lunch at the community centre or a healthy eating day at the local sports ground. Way to go Kashiwa!
Live dangerously – give a total stranger a healthy eating treat.
…back to web and tech stuff for a while….

- Kanye and how Twitter changed communication
If you needed any more proof that Twitter has transformed how we absorb information and communicate, look no further than Kanye West. - New site shows the best of YouTube's worst
We watch more than 2 billion YouTube videos every day, but let's admit it -- we're usually viewing a top 25 clip, a video forwarded by a friend or an old standby like David After Dentist (some of those 66 million views must be repeats). - Adult services blocked on Craigslist
Online classified service Craigslist's decision to censor its adult services section could be a model for other websites, a leader in the fight against prostitution ads said Saturday. - Users amused, annoyed by Facebook Places
It's been two weeks since Facebook users took to blogs and message boards to voice their concerns about Places, a location-based service that allows people to check in to gathering spots via the social network.
