popurls widget

popurls is a web 2.0 mashup that collects popular news stories from other websites and gathers the top stories in one place for you :-)
I’ve been using this little mashup for the past year and it’s really nice to see them grow their features. They now let you create a widget that you can embed on your website which I just had to try!

How the widget works:

  1. Visit popurls and click on any news story
  2. If you like the story, share it
  3. The story shows up automatically anywhere you placed the widget
  4. Bonus: You can also have your stories show up on Facebook automatically.

Online communities are awesome!  I’ve been pretty much glued to my computer monitor for the past 2 days trying to make my new Nvidia video card (GeForce 9600GT) play with Linux. To be fair, the hardware does come with a CD which contains software for the Windows platform; but that doesn’t help me much.

Enter the Ubuntu community, http://ubuntuforums.org. These online forums have a wealth of valuable information on every subject imaginable when it comes to managing your Linux system. I was able to solve my missing driver issue with the help of this thread. I’m continually amazed at the level of help and support that you can get from online communities.  who knows… I may even try to help somebody else in return :-)
