Yoono Vs Messenger Beta

The new messenger beta is a drastic improvement to the latest 'stable' release included within the 'windows live essentials' package...

I think Yoono has had more time to incorperate similar social functions and so it is a lot better than even this latest version of windows mesenger, Yoono just supports more Junk, so you won't need to visit a webpage as much.

SoundCloud audio files, much to my amazment after I hovered over a new facebook update from B34T1N, were incorperated into Yoono, so that you wouldn't need to leave yoono to listen to the songs and sounds of others.
Though the same notification appeared in messenger beta, with an appropriate music related Icon, WLMb did NOT support 'SoundCloud' music playback, where Yoono did.

To be honest, I never even heard of SoundCloud before B34T1N's facebook update.

Most of the time, about a year ago, I wondered, "why is there not some way to browse the web, whilest being part of the conversations you can have with friends?"
Turns out, minimizing the window of firefox helps with this... but rather than diminish my webpage area width and heights, I decided to use one of the reccomended extentions to firefox, called Yoono, which hid the conversation window when you weren't using it...

Still don't see the point in having to install it?
Don't worry, I was skeptical too, but I have YET TO USE WINDOWS LIVE MESSENGER, BETA OR OTHERWISE, Since I installed 'yoono'.

its a relatively painful process to set up, but then you can use that AIM account you prolly forgot about, like I did, You can check your Mail, through the mobile hotmail inbox, Gmail and yahoo mail are also supported here, and you can link it to face book and twitter, to keep a track on releases of blog posts or new updates from friends...

Best of all, and most annoying, is the notification window that pops up out of nowhere, informing you of the update from a friend/business you follow in either twitter or facebook.

Did I mention Yoono can support youtube, Pictures and 'SoundCloud' without you navigating to another webpage?

...

There are other messenger programs, there are other extentions to firefox, but for me, and for about a second's worth of thought, (a quick decision), I installed it on a whim, and haven't gone back to swapping my browser out for windows live messenger Since.

Did I mention WLMb also wants to link to your account with facebook? Purely to see the 'stream of activity' from your friends and whomsoever, or whatsoever you follow...

Yoono lets you interact with this stream, not just simply display it graphically.

If you have MSN, WLMb, (that is, windows live messenger beta) will be completely different to you... and rather lame.... Too little Too late, Yoono does it all, and does it better.

Manga Publishers Coalition and Closing Manga Reading Sites.

It has come to my attention that someone is attempting to petition the manga publishing companies.

I believe we should all sign it, the petition to stop manga publishers from closing manga sites down

But I don't mind having to pay, if I had the money to pay for them... and I've checked where I can buy them from, English translated manga isn't 'readily' availble in England, UK to buy, either from these publishing companies or anyone...
Though some companies import american, and charge a fair price, they might not have the serieses that appear on manga reading sites like Mangatoshokan, onemanga, mangafox, mangatraders...

It doesn't matter, no one cares enough about manga anyways...
We enjoyed reading them, and now we simply can't read them, or any new ones...
Wether or not the act of reading them where they are not published, or in many cases, not even sold at all, affected the sales figures of manga publishing companies.

If anyone Wishes to continue reading manga, for free, I'm afraid you'll have to adopt to new series' altogether which are 'free to read'

You remember my old friend SonicSpin? and his KisuSei project which I blogged some chapters of on here previously. http://myanimelist.net/blog.php?eid=14556

I've forgot, they seem to be called OEL's in myanimelist.net...

anyways, I've been reading an oel series known as megatokyo, about an idiot fps gamer and an idiotic galgamer going to Japan, there they both seem to get what they both want, but neither realises it, the galgamer gets to meet cute girls who fell for him, for different reasons, and the fps gamer gets a weired boss to face thats smarter than him, and also a girl who finds him interesting... either him or galgamer... she is known to have followed them both through irc before they arrived in japan.
The whole thing is full of comedy, romance, and gags, mostly gags... but it is online, and FORE FREE!!! so read it, I'm on page 194, it took me three days to get there..

http://megatokyo.com/strip/194

If anyone wants to see if other sites are still operational

Here is a list... comprized by someone called Umishiru in Onemanga's forums. I thank him etherially for now, and I've sent a thanks to his aim account, who knows if he has recieved it.
WaterZ gave me the list to repost, I think I thanked him

I've not been updating this as no comments have been given, though I might continue for my own reference sake...
and I've been reading MegaTokyo... its addictive...

Rule Set I follow with the links:
Links without comments haven't been checked.
Red is bad, blue is good, green is perfection.
I'm assuming you wanna click the first link at the top of the list, so I have altered the list accordingly, like most popular/top ten listings.
Unckecked believe it or not, get priority over truely bad sites in the list.
I respond to comments, so comment.
Comments appear under links, not above links, hence the spacing.

Final comments.
lol, not about the list though.

Dumb question not worthy of being read, but, why can I not find an image of a personification of myanimelist.net?

I did find malupdater-chan, larremes cigerettes-chan, Windows ME-tan, a bevy of artillery and battleship, and aircraft-sans, even one or two graphics cards... there is a wii-chan, even a wiimote-tan...

Where the hell is an image of Myanimelist.net?

Anyways, my request is this, as was making a group in Sankaku Complex, for Users of Myanimelist.net to get to know each other, therefore allowing each member of the group to discuss myanimelist.net, and sankaku complex, among peers of like minded individuals who know of both, and can talk on both, about either and everything...

The only problem is, it has a group avatar that doesn't depict myanimelist.net properly... it doesn't matter what image I use, but at the very least, it should be a cute-preferably Loli- personification.

If there is a cute girl for everything, Where then, is MAL-TAN!

EDIT:
I've found someone who was willing to draw a personification of MAL..
I thanked him... his name is Maid...

http://www.sankakucomplex.com/groups/myanimelist-net-user-group/forum/topic/miari-tan-your-imaginations/

he named her miaru-tan... miari-tan...easy to get it confused...
anyways, I think she look brilliant, so I made her into a group avatar for the myanimelist.net users' group on sankakucomplex.com
http://www.sankakucomplex.com/groups/myanimelist-net-user-group/

The avatar is not the ful image, it had to be cropped for sankakucomplex's image limitations, but it is there for you to see, and I'll add her here:

Recently I've been watching japanese anime, I've heard soo much Japanese voice acting, that I just so happen to like it better for cute things...

However, at what point did I stop reading perfectly good English fanatically translated novels, and start auto-translating (googlating) the English Written words, into Japanese!

ah, its a shame that google doesn't support japanese audio text-to-speech... it does do English quite well though.

What I did today:

Anime Relations: Denpa-teki na Kanojo

Kure-nai, in this manga one boy gets proposed to by a girl to be her bodyguard, he stops fights from occuring.... only, in the same world 10 years later, Denpateki na Kanojo kicks off, which shares some characters with the Kure-nai manga, but centers around a delinquent who fights a lot, being bugged by a girl who swears unto him her loyalty.

I'd like to read these stories, maybe watch their anime's... I only just found out about their Existence....
