Text messaging from your Myspace profile to your mobile phone

The O-Widgets site has a new service that allows you to send/receive text (sms) messages from a Myspace profile to a cell/mobile phone. The service, called otxt, requires you to supply the usual: cell number (most do), email address, etc... In return, otxt supplies the code needed for your Myspace profile. You simply paste it, in edit mode, wherever you want the widget to appear. Your Myspace profile visitors are presented with a clean, easy to use, SMS messenger that is connected right to your cell or mobile phone. Your number remains completely private.

During setup you are also given the option to allow only a certain number of text messaging per day, week, or month - great for keeping things in check.

Give it a try.

Temporary email addresses to test out your Myspace goods

Over the weekend, okay, not really, on Friday actually, email "turned" 35 - that´s 35 years! Whatever your opinion might be, good or bad, you´ll admit that email has had a pretty nice run.

In light of that, I´d like to show you a way to cut down on spam while trying out some of the Myspace goodies featured here on Web Tracker.

10 Minute Mail, as you might guess, is a site that assigns you a temporary (ten minute) email address. You go here, click on the "Get my 10 Minute Mail e-mail address" link and your presented with just that; an email address that is good for exactly 10 minutes. The idea being that within that time you should be able to subscribe/sign up for some new product or site, get and respond to a confirmation email, and then decide whether or not it´s something that interests you or not. No need to give out your own email if you have no plans on using a particular product or service, don´chya think?

Temporary email

The landing page itself provides you with a countdown from 10 to 0 minutes at which point your email address self destructs. Any email delivered to your temporary email address should, in practice, show up on the same page. If you do happen to need more time, you simply click a link and the counter is reset to 10 minutes. That´s it.

Have a look.

Free online video mixing for your Myspace profile - MuveeMix

Looking to create, mix, and share your personal videos on Myspace? MuveeMix allows you to create video mixes and slideshows, called "Muvees", from your digital video, photos, and music - without the need for any video editing.

A simple four step MuveeMix process allows you to add pictures/video, add music (Mp3), select from various themes/styles and add a title. After that, your Muvee is complete. Some minutes later, after some Muvee magic, you're emailed a link to your player where you'll find the Myspace embed code.

One caveat to using the Muvee player. It too suffers from a familiar Myspace "glitch". That is, if you want things to look "perfect" you'll need to manually remove the <object> tags that surround the code. If you choose not to, it'll still work, but there will just be a line or two of broken code right above the player. No biggie. :)

All in all the site is nicely designed and very easy to use. So get your video groove on and go make a Muvee!

Myspace profile blog tracker/tracking - Mixmap!

Fresh news coming from the Mixmap website. Yesterday, Mixmap sent out an email introducing a new "Myspace blog version" of their tracker. Mixmap's new Myspace blog tracker allows you to see how many people are visting and/or reading your Myspace blog.

If you already have a Mixmap web tracker you'll simply be creating another within the same account that works independent of the existing one. In fact, you can create as many as you like.

Login to your Mixmap account, and look for the orange "Make a Myspace Blog Tracker" link (upper right).

Mixmap has some nicely detailed instructions on their site blog.

Like their original Myspace tracker, you do have the option of using either an invisible tracker, or setting it to be publicly viewable.

On a side note, the Mixmap team has been doing a fantastic job at making improvements to their site and notifying the Mixmap users of new developments and changes. Excellent!

Add a collage to your Myspace layout - Dundoo

Dundoo, which launched a few weeks ago, has an easy to use collage creation tool that's setup for the various high-profile social networks - Myspace included of course.

To get it, you choose the number of pictures you'd like to use (up to 30), select the layout (horizontal or vertical positioning), then make adjustments to the size and spacing of the pictures (referred to as Icons). You then upload your pictures, which can optionally be tagged and kept public or private, preview, and get the code to add them to your Myspace profile. All very simple and extremely easy to follow.

Add a collage to your Myspace layout

I am a little disappointed by one thing though. I think that a site as well thought out as Dundoo should rethink the design of the collage itself. For me, it's missing a general "coolness" factor that the younger Myspace crowds tend to lock on to ; sites like Slide and Rockyou, although they do offer something a little different, come to mind.

All in all, I still think it's worth a look and I think they deserve props for the effort they put into the sites easy to use interface/navigation.

Give 'em a try.

If ever get around to putting together a list of Top Myspace profile goodies for 2006, Mypictr is definitely on it!

Create an Avatar or Profile Picture for your Myspace profile

Mypictr, in what has to be one of the simplest sites to use that I've come across, allows you to create/modify profile pics (avatars) for social networking sites like Myspace.

Just upload your picture or image, choose your social networking site (*cough* Myspace *cough*), position the crop box where you'd like it (adjust the zoom slider), then, when you're ready, click the "PictrIt" button. Mypictr then presents you with a link that once clicked downloads the image/picture to your computer. Simple, practical, and Awesooooooooome! Everything should be this easy.

Free fun Image generators for Myspace - Image Chef

Image Chef, an image generator site, has some cool new templates that can be used to create customized images for you Myspace profile.

It's pretty straightforward stuff; You go to the site, select the template/generator that you'd like to use, enter your text, and click a button. Image chef returns a preview of your customized Myspace image. You'll have the option of clicking a checkout button that will take you right to your image. From there you simply download it to your computer and then get to spend the next fifty-two minutes figuring out how to place it on your Myspace profile. Hmmmm...Hang on! There is an alternative to this madness. If you FIRST register at Image Chef, they kindly host the images for you for free and also provide the code to insert them into your Myspace profile. Whew!

The only thing I'm wondering about is who had this idea first...The images offered at Image Chef closely, no, EXACTLY match the Rockyou Txt Pix images (or vice-versa) that I profiled earlier this month. Give 'em both a look.

If you can't decide one way or the other there are quite a few other Myspace image generator sites out there.

Play semi-random music videos on your Myspace profile

Fidget, a site that finds videos by your favorite artists and displays them wherever you'd like, has an interesting new Myspace profile widget.

It's pretty simple to try out. Go here, give your player a title/headline, add some artists, then click the "Generate Code" button. Paste the code anywhere in your Myspace profile.

The Myspace embeddable Fidget player then serves up random Youtube videos based on the artists you've chosen. You'll get a new one everytime your visit your profile or refresh the page.

Best I can tell, Fidget scans Youtube tags and returns ANYTHING that matches your specified artist. One minute you might get a Shakira music video, the next a dog doing backflips to a Shakira music track - think of it as Russian Video Roulette.

It still is kind of entertaining and does make for a more dynamic Myspace profile, seeing as how you never really know what'll turn up there, so go and give it a try.

One more thing, if you're STILL using Internet Explorer (Why oh why! *frantically pulling hair out*) you'll get this message:

"Fidget doesn't work in Internet Explorer (yet), so go get Firefox"
