I signed up for a feedburner account today and found a really cool tool where you can copy and paste some script into your website and it outputs your blog entries into your existing website for you.

You can specify certain parameters such as how much text to show, where to place the date, if you want to show the author or not, how many blog entries to show, etc.

If you visit my homepage you will see what I mean: Impulse embeds feedburner on website’s homepage

Was talking geek to a web buddy of mine last night and we were discussing new trends in the market and brainstorming on ways to make money online.

He mentioned ‘flipping websites’ and since I had never heard of that, I asked what he meant.

So basically, here’s the process, which is similar to flipping a house:

1. Identify a website to purchase.
2. Evaluate, negotiate and finalize the purchase.
3. Increase the value of the site.
4. Find someone to buy the site from you and sell that sucker.

• Already have a website but it needs an updated look?
• Do you want something fresh and new and Web 2.0 ready?
• Want to add a Blog, RSS newsfeed, CMS to your pre-existing site?
• Do you want the ability to update your website on your own?
• Do you want to increase your ranking on search engines like Google, Yahoo and MSN?

If you answered ‘yes’ to any of these questions, we can help update your current website to a more professional look with all the bells and whistles.

This is pretty cool – you can drag and drop the little human icon to a street and then a screenshot pops up. The screenshot allows you to do a 360 degree view of that street. The camera icon appears at locations with available street views.

Also, once you have the Street View open, you can click on the overlaid white arrows in the image and continue to go down the street within the street view, as if you were driving down the road yourself!

You can see it in action at this link

The vid is pretty cheezy but it is a good demonstration:

This is pretty cool.

In the future, I can see someone downloading some surf footage they just recorded to the ‘Surface’ and then everybody gathering around to watch it. Touch screen playback options would also be available such as Play, Stop, Rewind, etc.
