Quotes, Anyone?

I’m a self acknowledged quote freak, and when I found this nice web application / website dedicated to quotes, I just couldn’t resist myself.

ThinkExist.com is a well written web application with a huge collection of quotes. What’s really nice about it though is the way it let’s you do stuff with the quotes once you create an account and login. You can maintain “books” of quotes to which you can add quotes that you find interesting. The adding of quotes to a book is simple and quick because the whole thing works on Javascript based background updates, much like what one experiences on Gmail.

As a bonus, you can have a box on your own website which will display their currently selected daily quote. Alternatively, you can have them show random quotes from any “book” which you have. The process to add the quotes to your site is pretty simplistic, they let you customise the display to suit your site’s styling exactly (again, much like Google’s adsense program) and then you just copy and paste the generated code where you want it to display on your site.

I’ve been looking at these kind of applications that give you small frames or boxes like this to add to your website for quite some time and just couldn’t resist putting it up on dhigu.com. Check it out, it’s on the right bar, at the bottom, every page refresh (or navigation) you do should show you a new quote from some that I’ve liked and selected.

Since I’m not using Amieo yet, I had to do a major battle with my existing blog/site system to get it to work, but finally managed to get it working by editing (and tweaking) my site’s skin, directly in code. Not for the faint of heart, trust me.

Most definitely recommended. Make sure to check out the Albert Einstein section.
