Where
URL = Url of the page you want to share
TITLE = Title of the page that you are sharing
SRC = Source of the page that you are sharing. for instance you may share http://www.kapustabrothers.com/ to buzz but found the link and shared it from aol.com so the SRC would be aol.com.
SRCTITLE = The title of the source.

It’s that simple. A box will pop up you can add some tags and some comments and click post. This will post directly to your buzz feed for all your buzzy friends to see.

Next are the icons. What should you use for an icon? Well you can search the net for them but I found some pretty cool simple ones from http://www.chethstudios.net/

All you have to do is wrap the icon with the link and your all set. I suggest setting a rel and a target too if applicable.

Update: Here is another icon that I found floating around on the interwebs.

Enjoy!

I spent a while yesterday looking for good branding of YouTube Channels and didn’t find many. Below are a list of channels that I thought were awesome and had a clean design.

• BBC WorldWide
• NBA
• NHL
• Planet Green

What do you think about those?  I think they get it when it comes to branding.  When I look at a bad design all I can think of is a cluttered MySpace page or Wal-Mart, but when I see the designs that look amazing and easy on the eye I instinctively think Target or Facebook.  If I was a consumer of a product or your marketing technique, I would definitely want to feel Target-ish and Facebook-ish because I want to be with the in crowd.

So that brings me to this.  I am interested in finding more YouTube page designs and what you the consumer of these channels are looking for?  Do you link simple or complex?  What is the makeup of a good YouTube Channel and what are some good channel designs that you like?

(UPDATE: looks like embedding videos doesn’t capture the CC)

Otherwise, Python is a good fit for me philosophy-wise, because it’s totally the anti-Perl, lacking goofy magic characters and 1000 ways of doing the same thing. I can’t stand languages where “~^s” means “find all numbers that start with the letter ‘s’, add them, multiply them by 75, and then post the result to Twitter”. I’m not freakin’ R2D2 here.

I personaly haven’t tried out Google App Engine but will here in the near future.  I have to freshen up Python skills.  I definatly belive in what funkatron says about learning more than one coding language.

Plus, getting hung up on one language is a sure way to be a boring dude who gets caught up in lame religious language wars.

With the social networking boom there are many possibilities that open up through this API. Anyone have any ideas on what can be done with this or if anyone is currently using this API?

It would be very cool to put it in Kyle Sholz JsVis Project.  Demo, Tutorial.

I would have to say thanks to Google for protecting users!
