Internet Explorer 6 funeral

Many have came to IE6 funeral on 1st of March 2010.
IE6 died
Imagine everyone, web designer majority, came with all their tuxedos on, have the happiest face they ever have had. That is how the funeral looks like.

Anyway speaking of IE6, there are lots of memories to talk about. Here are what we did together…

Geocities

Before web, I was a mIRC geek :) Long after mIRC, it seems that everyone has a IRC channel website, which prompted me to learn web design with, Geocities

Table and more table

After a few month fooling around with Geocities WYSIWYG system, I finally took the time to learn about HTML, which is all about… Table. I still remember how I struggle to remember what tr and td do… Until I found out Microsoft Frontpage was a great tools dealing with all the table :) It was HTML 1.0 and 2.0 back then.

Firefox

Well, all thanks to IE6 then I finally found Firefox an alternative that works pretty damn well. Especially on the security wise. Back then, IE6 doesn’t block pop-up and very easily got into malware and adware, which I ended up formated my computer, which running Windows 98 back then, it was easy to install the whole system though, taking that the drivers aren’t that much back then.

Hopefully, IE6 percentage will come down soon. As I checked the stat IE6 taking 40% of overall 100% IE browsers :( Well, I don’t support IE6 nowadays anyway…

Working on social media

So, after few days of holidays and eating all the time in this Chinese New Year, I am now officially looking for a diets that work, exercise, more running or any sort of thing. However, let me get something on about the Internet, again – Social Media :)
Facebook I don’t recall any of my friends and relative that don’t know about Facebook. So I jumped into the fire and see what I can get from there.

Facebook fan page

Look in dept about the fan page, it is in the link named “Advertising“, Facebook has already classified Pages as an advertising tool. The last thing you would need to do is to promote the Page using their advertising program, which of course so specific that you can choose country, age, sex and even profession.

Facebook update

The good thing about social media is the news goes faster than satellite. Promotion? Create a heat topic? Teaser ads? All up to the updates. The last thing you need is a psychologist and a good copywriter :)

Facebook game

It was named as game so users will stays on the page for some times. That is the golden time for the advertiser to advertise anything they wanted. Look at the game you’re clicking in Facebook, do they have some banner shinning in front? That’s how it works, first, create any games, you play it and spare it and everyone looking at it. The con is that game is harder to target into specific group. But it works for the advertiser in long-run.

I am still seeing and research on Facebook. I believe the value of Facebook is on the advertiser and the user database ;)
