any progress?

Comment 6

[Fernando Pereira Silveira]

Yes. Most of the links are gonna be kept or equivalents were found. They are:

Google Docs
http://docs.google.com/
It's popular on Brazil, so it's ok;

Remember the Milk
http://www.rememberthemilk.com/
People knows the service and it's already translated to pt-BR; keeping it;

LinkedIn
http://www.linkedin.com/
Also popular; keeping it;

Wikipedia
http://pt.wikipedia.org/
Used for a long time on Firefox here; keeping it;

HowStuffWorks
http://hsw.uol.com.br/
There's a Brazilian version; is it ok?

YouTube
http://br.youtube.com/
Also very popular here; keeping it;

Miro
http://www.getmiro.com/
People is starting to use this service and it's already translated to pt-BR; also keeping it;

Facebook
http://www.facebook.com/
Orkut (www.orkut.com) is more popular then Facebook, so it's going to replace it; is it ok?

There are four services I'm still looking for equivalent services (or if they stay):

Topix
http://www.topix.com/

Hype Machine
http://www.hypem.com/

craigslist
http://www.craiglist.org/

Yelp
http://www.yelp.com/

Ok, current status:

Work
----
Google Docs (docs.google.com)
Remember the Milk (www.rememberthemilk.com)
LinkedIn (www.linkedin.com)
Clipmarks 

keeping the same services;
keeping the same add-on;

Learn
-----
Wikipedia (pt.wikipedia.org)
HowStuffWorks (hsw.uol.com.br)
Universia (www.universia.com.br)
???

keeping wikipedia and howstuffworks, just adapting to portuguese content; Topix replaced by Universia, which is a latin american universities network;

add-on not chosen yet; community is thinking about Adblock Plus or Forecastfox, popular add-ons, since none "educational" add-on was found;

Play
----
Youtube (br.youtube.com)
Last.fm (www.lastfm.com.br)
Miro (www.getmiro.com)
PicLens

keeping youtube and miro, just adapting youtube to brazilian content; hype music was replaced by last.fm, which is more popular and already translated do portuguese;

keeping PicLens;

Connect
-------
Orkut (www.orkut.com)
craigslist (geo.craigslist.org/iso/br)
meebo (www.meebo.com)
???

keeping craigslist, just adapting to brazilian content; replacing facebook with orkut, which is very much more popular then facebook; replacing yelp with meebo, which is a MSN/ICQ/XMPP online client;

unsure about me.dium; thinking about meebo companion (addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/5700), but if it isn't good we can keep me.dium anyway;

Comment 8

[Fernando Pereira Silveira]

any response to current status?

Comment 9

[Mic Berman]

Fernando, apologies for delay
work - ok
learn - ok. for add-on, we prefer not to offer Adblock due to controversial nature, can you choose Forecastfox as alternative
play - ok
connect - ok me.dium or meebo is ok. first seems good given that meebo is already suggested in links
