I had upgrade my blogs to Wordpress 2.5, but i found that i can’t upload any image through the new AJAX image uploader. After i search through internet, i found this post, which teach user how to fix this problem.
I believe most of the Wordpress 2.5 users will found this problem when try to upload image using the built-in image uploader, unless you use other blogging tools such as Live Writer.
Basically, this problem is due to the mod_security. The new image uploader has been rejected by mod_security. So, you had to modify the .htaccess file to disable the mod_security. This can be done to insert the code below to your .htaccess file:
<IfModule mod_security.c>
<Files async-upload.php>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</Files>
</IfModule>
This is just a temporary fix, i hope Wordpress team can solve this issue as fast as possible. Wordpress users, please upgrade once Wordpress team release new version to fix this problem.

Let say you discover a website and you want to check who is the website owner and the company that hosted it, then you may need whoishostingthis.com and whoistheowner.net.
whoishostingthis.com
This tool let you check the company that hosted that website. You can type any website URL and it will check through the database. They even provide bookmarklet button for user. This tool is really great for users who always want to search for such information.
whoistheowner.net
This tool is similar with whois command, which will discover any domain’s owner by querying more than 350 whois servers in the world. To prevent misuse, user had to type in the security code before start searching their database.

I am sure almost all internet users know what is Digg. There are a lot of open source digg-clone application for download. I would like to share some of the example of such applications.
- Blinkk – Blinkk is an application which combine digg, del.icio.us, and forum into a platform. View screenshot here.
- Vote up/down Package for Drupal – A plugin for Drupal CMS which can create a voting system which similar with digg.
- PHPDug – An open source digg-clone which support templates and has a very clean interface. It has several extra features such as automatically add stories from RSS feeds and multilingual support. View demo here.
- Vote It Up for Wordpress – It is a Wordpress plugin to create the voting system. It support the latest Wordpress 2.5.
- Upwarded – Simple digg-clone application. But unfortunately i can’t found much information about it.
- Last but not least, Pligg – The most powerful digg-clone application which support templates and plugins. There are a lot of Pligg users, so i believe you can easily get support by the community.
I personally like Pligg and PHPDug over the others as i felt both of them has better interface, which you can modify through the template.

Inv.io is a web service which provide free file storage for users. Unregister user can get 800mb storage while register user can get 1gb storage for free!
Users can add entire folders using their multiple selection tools. This feature is extremely useful as you no need to select and upload files one by one. After upload your files, you can create your photo gallery, video or mp3 player easily and embedded them in your blog/website.
You will also get the link while you are uploading, which means you can immediately send the link to your friends while waiting for the uploading process to finish. You can also use their file manager to manage your files in the link anytime after you finish upload.
Some of the features only available after you register your account. For example, you will get 1gb storage instead of 800mb after you register. It also increases the time limit of your inactive files to 31 days and provides a lot of useful and exclusive features such as a complete file manager to retrieve lost links and edit your files.
The website is built with AJAX, so it is very easy to use.
