I’ve made a few changes to the submit image page. Earlier you had to mark the item in question and specify dimensions (inches or mm). A lot of users gave up midway as they probably did not know those dimensions.
So now you have a slider to specify the size of the item. Drag the slider left or right to make the item bigger or smaller. No need to know the accurate dimensions as long as you physically have it with you.
Google Chrome has become the most popular browser used by Pective users. This data seems to back Statcounter’s claim that Chrome has already clocked 22% of market share worldwide. Go Chrome !
“Size isn’t everything, but sometimes it’s good to know how small something really is, especially when it comes to mobile technology. Pective.com displays registered items in their actual size so you can get an impression about whether they would fit in your pocket.”
A lot of Pective users find it difficult to specify their monitor size is. To help them, I’ve created this simple page. It displays the image of item you possess (credit card, CD, dollar bill etc) and asks you to drag a slider till it becomes actual size.
Some Pective pages have more than 200 comments, significantly slowing down the loading of the page. I’ve now added pagination so only 50 of them are displayed at a time. Pages should load faster now !
I’ve pushed some new features to Pective.
BoingBoing reports,
A Wichita, Kansas man was apparently beaten up by a drug dealer after the man paid for crack cocaine with Monopoly money. It’s not clear why it took the dealer so long to realize that the multi-colored bills were not legal tender.For the uninitiated, here what Monopoly money looks like, and here’s a normal American 10 Dollar bill for reference.
Pective is temporarily down due to a Google App Engine outage.
Update: It’s back now.
