I actually took this from production code!

I’ve had it with events in ActionScript 3! They are annoying to structure, annoying to extend, annoying to dispatch but most importantly annoying to consume – and I consume events a lot more than write or dispatch my own.

But! The idea of listening for stuff I really do like. I have some ideas about how this could be done a lot easier. Oh, and please stick around until the very end of this post.

Well, yes and no. Actually I do like Facebook, but this is about the new Like-button and how you can like anything. But what’s the difference between “approved” partners and the rest of us?

The famous large flat thing slightly more useful than a rock

Here at Konstellation, we just launched the PageGangster for mobile devices including iPad, iPhone, iPod touch and Android. I developed the clientside for this in JavaScript and we launched it with automatic user agent detection serverside. But this had some problems.

I recently found, that vimeo.com had a cross-domain policy, that allowed anyone to connect, which was an open invitation for CSRF attacks. I alerted them to the issue, and it has now been fixed.

The twenty-seventh idea for my 365 social ideas is an idea which has spun off my “investigation” of the SnapABug service: create a bookmarklet, that when clicked let’s you mark a section of the current webpage you are viewing (in it’s current state etc.) and then snapshots this and uploads the image to your image sharing service of choice – popular choices being flickr or more shoot-from-the-hip style services like tinypic.

The twenty-third idea for my 365 social ideas is a very simple one: Wrap a Safari browser in a Mac OS X application that opens on Google Docs as the first (and only) website you can see.

The twenty-second idea for my 365 social ideas is not really a clear-cut idea – yet. But I feel a need for a new website traffic analyzing service. Google Analytics is definitely the mostly used and best free service. But they have many shortcomings, and I definitely would like to see a new player enter this playing field. And while where add it, there are some new trends and actions, that current has a huge influence on current traffic trends, that you cannot track fully: social media traffic.

The twenty-first idea for my 365 social ideas is another gaming idea: create a set of classic flash-based games along the lines of break-out, tetris etc, but integrate a simple storyline with good and bad characters, places and items involved and make these configurable. You could through this create a game of your own life by inserting persons from your surroundings, places where you meet, stuff that you work with etc. and you could send this game to your friends and family and they could then play out the big game of your life.

The sixteenth idea for my 365 social ideas is an idea for a technical tool to assist everyone in getting the credit they deserve and the loyalty they can expect: a copy-paste injection script. It is the very same idea that tynt.com has “created”, but they keep the technology (how simple it may be) to themselves and have even filed for a patent.

The fourteenth idea for my 365 social ideas is a somewhat silly little gadget website idea, but none-the-less an idea, that I would like to share with you all: a service, that tells you when it is your next round birthday in all time units, that you could think of. Why did I come up with this idea, you might ask? Because I some time ago found out, that I missed my 10,000 birthday (that is the 10,000th day since my birth), which occurs when you are 27 years and 138 days (or 139 days depending on leap years).
