OK, here’s a weird thing. I’ve had an account at ma.gnolia.com since February 2006. I had the usual burst of energy to establish a contact list, groups and links but I ended up using del.icio.us instead. Last week Faruk added me as a contact so I headed over to the site to reciprocate the connection. But I had no bookmarks or groups or half the connections I must have built up from accessifyforum.com, Flickr, linkedin.com or after @media 2005. I’ve imported all 1047 del.icio.us links (to date) and joined a few groups so if you share my professional interests, feel free to add me as a contact and even suggest additional groups to join.

Via CSS-Tricks. Flexigrid is a lightweight but rich data grid with re-sizable columns and a scrolling data to match the headers, plus an ability to connect to an XML-based data source using Ajax to load the content. I’ve used the jQuery tablesorter plugin in the past but Flexigrid goes a little further with the Ajax functionality.

Via Mashable. Ping.fm is a status update tool that sends your updates to a handful of your favourite microblogging services. So far, Ping.fm supports Twitter, Facebook, Jaiku, Tumblr and Pownce. The concept is one that will catch on like wildfire in the coming months, and the options for submitting an update come in the form of email, IM, its Google gadget, and a desktop application. It’s in beta (goes without saying) so it’s a case of sitting tight or getting lucky with an invite at the moment.
