the universal Tag Editor (ID3v1, ID3v2, APEv2) 8 Tips to Design a Charity Website A lot of charities rely on voluntary funding. This funding is carefully distributed and there are often more important things ahead of a generous budget for the website. So how does a charity get the most out of its website? It needs to let users find out information about the charity, but the main objective of the site is to get people involved with the charity, usually resulting in the user donating money. In this article, we look at 8 principles that you should follow when creating a charity website. What makes a good charity website? 1. A quick tagline to sum up what the charity (or charitable event) is about. 2. Let your users know what you do with their money once they sponsor. 3. Help users identify and visualize the people they’ll be helping. 4. The donate button is most likely the most important asset of a charity website so it should be prominent and obvious. 5. If the website is for a specific charitable event, show how much the charity’s raised to date. 6. 7. 8. Save the Children
How to tag all your audio files in the fastest possible way Last week, I promised that this time I'd introduce efficient ways to add ID3 tags to MP3 files. For me, adding such tags is an absolute necessity. If I really want my MP3 files to be and remain properly sorted and quickly usable even if I change software, I must guarantee that: They are indexable through an open standard that many software tools can process automatically.The corresponding data are written inside the files themselves, to follow them when the files move to another computer or operating system, and inside backups. This said, let me make clear from the beginning that "the fastest possible way to tag MP3 files" can still involve a lot of manual work. Digitized analog recordings (you know what I mean: things like me singing "Merry Christmas" in kindergarten...), normally made by relatives and friends who have no clue of what tagging is, or...Podcasts from "professional" radio stations, that were very unprofessionally published online without any tagging whatsoever.

del.icio.us Plans To Become A Social Network I recently interviewed del.icio.us founder Joshua Schachter, who is now with Yahoo after the popular social bookmarking service was acquired last December. Joshua was recently named as top innovator of the year by MIT Technology Review Magazine. Tagging is one example of an innovation that del.icio.us pioneered (at least in its current form). Joshua told me that "del.icio.us was the first app to showcase tagging" and that now "practically everyone uses tags in the [del.icio.us] system in some form." But Joshua has bigger plans for del.icio.us - it will essentially turn into a social network, with more focus on people instead of data. "One of the amazing things about our users is how smart and far-reaching their interests are. This points to a social networking future for del.icio.us, perhaps more so than a content bookmarking one (which it currently is). delicious already has a 'Your network' feature, but that basically just connects users' bookmarks.
