www.ibrahimo.com – to read new posts

Hi, I have moved now from wordpress.com to self hosted wordpress, I hosted my blog on hostgator, my new address is http://www.ibrahimo.com, please adjust your bookmarks. After sometime this blog on wordpress.com will be deleted and the only way to access it will be through http://www.ibrahimo.com

Why no new posts?!

Well since around a week now I became less active in the blog because I was shocked when I found out that blogs on wordpress.com don’t really have full control, so to advance my blog I have to get my own hosting, and that what I am doing now, it still going to take couple of days to set things up the way i want.

In the mean time  i would be happy to get your feedback on which is the best hosting companies for blogs. I am still bouncing between bluehost and lunarpages.

PICURLS: See what photo’s the world is seeing… !!

I moved to www.ibrahimo.com, to read this post in the new blog please CLICK HERE.

As you know there is a number of social news/bookmarking websites such as Reddit, Digg, Del.icio.us and StumbleUpon. People share articles, websites, photos, videos and so on. Digg already announced that they will be having a special section only for images but it still didnt happen.

Here comes PICURLS, basically this website pulls all the top photos of the day from Digg, Reddit, del.icio.us, StumbleUpon, Flickr, Simpy, Furl, Boing Boing and Wired. You can also subscribe to the RSS feeds for the pictures from each website or from all of the websites.

But PICURLS still have space for improvement, the 2 main drawbacks that i can see is that there is no community, none of the images has any comments, at least for the past few days, all what i can see is the number “0” beside each image. The second thing is that when you click on the link it sends you to the source not the page of the website such as Digg and Reddit, i am not if this being done out of fear that maybe Digg or Reddit wont allow this to happen.

Anyway, in general this is a very nice website, and one day it could become something if it kept on developing.

OIL prices aren’t rising – the US dollar is plummeting!

I have just finished reading a very interesting article on “qrswave’s blog”, believe me this is a very interesting point of view.

Here read the full article.

To blog or not to blog?

Hi. I debated the issue of creating a blog between me and myself for a long time now. I kept saying to myself one thing, whats new that i can offer in this vast blogosphere?
I realized later that I can only answer this question by going through the experience. So here I start.

Ok. Here how it goes. I surf the net for at least 16 hours daily. I read tech news, sports news, read all sorts of blogs, follow politics all around the world, watch allot of TV, watch allot of movies and play games.

Oh and i want to press on one thing, i watch alllllot of football. Not American football, football who some people might call it soccer.

I am a fan of Arsenal, Real Madrid, Inter Milan and Alahly(Egypt).
So as you can see I watch allllllot of football.

Alright then, the only remaining thing that you should know about me now is
that my name is Ibrahim Hussein, and that i am Jordanian from Palestinian roots and that i live in dubai – United Arab Emirates.

Looking forward to fill this blog with allot of useful and good quality posts.
