Website and photo outsourcing solutions

Check out the awesome goodness I have added at the bottom of my Home Page... It is an eBay widget customized to my inert geekiness and passion for HOT emerging technology tools. The eBay link in the title of this post will bring you to eBay's creation tool hot-spot where you too can enlist this fun bubble on your own web pages. Hmm a tutorial seems in order, if anyone is interested, please post a reply and I will get busy teaching you how to install this sort of thing!



Another cool hack I discovered recently is a way to get an eBay RSS feed for your search terms. The method is pretty easy so I'll give you the simple directions:

1) Copy and paste this address (yes I know it's little... just highlight it)
http://rss.api.ebay.com/ws/rssapi?FeedName=SearchResults&siteId=0&language=en-US&output=RSS20&satitle=SEARCHTERM&sacat=CATAGORYNUMBER
into your browser's address bar. (note: thats BAR not BOX. FYI: If you don't know what I am referring to or you think I mean your google/msn/ask-jeevies or whatever 'box' you can just skip through these instructions for I fear you have a slim chance of getting what I am hacking anyway.

2) Change the two fields I have put into caps: SEARCHTERM and CATAGORYNUMBER; You can find your catagory number here: eBay catagory numbers.

3) Press the Red button Foo! ..no really.. add them to your RSS readers & Enjoy! :)

New features from snap.com - worth a look-see that's for sure. The new options will let you load the snap javascript AFTER the page loads... which is a real benefit since a lot of widgets waste load time. Check out the new snap icons after the links - another new benefit. Also - have you looked at the snap.com home page? hmmm - "The new way to search"; I Like It!
