okay, with the holidays I haven’t had tons of time to play with Yoono and Stumbleupon yet.
One thing I did notice is that when I have both installed my machine seems to be sluggish.
I have it on an old PC at work, an IBM with 1.5 Gb of memory and about a 2 GHz processor, running Ubuntu 8.10.
So, I just installed it at home as well, on a 1.2 GHz athlon with 1.5 Gb memory. I have put only Yoono on so far and it seems to run faster.
Maybe the two of them together are two much for an old machine…
Anyway, it does some nice things. I like having the updates in the sidebars for Facebook and Twitter (which are really the only two I use).
I also just found a status field that will allow updates to my social networking sites. I just tried it and it works like a charm.
One odd thing is that the updates on the friends widget keeps telling me that the connection to Twitter failed and it will try again later. Oddly enough, though, it seems to still get updates from time to time.
Help is really odd, because it opened up over an existing tab. I can see my window in the background and when I scroll, it scrolls the window in the background, and not the help that opened up. There doesn’t appear to be a close button anywhere that I can find, either.
One other thing I really like is that it gives me the option to sync my bookmarks. That’s nice because I’ve previously been too lazy to do that. When I installed Yoono at home, it asked if I wanted to synchronize them, which I did. After merging, I realize how poorly organized my bookmarks are
Well, it’s on to Web Notes next to see how they work. So far, it seems to work nicely instead of using Flock.
