Only half your people use My Opera. :wink:

Sad how far down the list LiveJournal is. I wish it weren't dying. :frown:

So, it looks like Opera developers has to pay a lot of attention to video support :smile:
Also they may make a support to most popular sites via widgets or more closer integrity.

To all: people, look around! :sing: We are so 'modern' that even use internet connection so much for speaking with pal from neighbouring house! :smile:

It's summer season now, let's make chats and meeting outdoors! :smile:
But attend MyOpera also possible outdoors :smile:

this could be an incentive for Opera to make the browser "more powerful"for media, having support for silverlight , more media rich capabilities (expanded and moving foward on playing media w/o plugins or any external media player)

:smile:

Myspace has at least a million users compared to Opera's two million, yet Opera is outperforming it? Size is no guarantee of quality I guess.

YouTube: 73.0%
...
Metacafe: 2.8%

I'm an avid LiveJournal user, yet never access it thru Opera. Why? No LiveJournal Addon. If there was something that would provide me with such functionality, I'd probably use it more.

.... Procrastinating / wasting time.
Come on. You know that's why you do it. It's not like poking someone on Facebook really gets you anywhere in life besides filling your personal self-esteem cookie jar.
