Chokti – Get Yourself out and Go

Following in my recent pattern of covering websites that are resources or may interest travelers. The Chokti website provides another social network type site to get more people excited about travelling and sharing their stories with others when they get back home.

There’s an interesting bit of information to all of this that makes the Chokti website unique from it’s counterparts.

Most sites related to travel seem to focus too much on the process of travelling itself.

If you think about it, that’s the purpose of most sites, but that’s not really the main purpose of the Chokti website. Here are some of the bullet points that makes Chokti different.

  • Promote the joy and excitement of learning about people and places. From your own neighborhood to the farthest reaches of the globe.
  • Provide users with an easy and simple way of sharing their pearls of individual and collective knowledge from one person to the next.
  • Give users immediate and pertinent results, through the Geotagging of all media content related to a physical place in the countries and territories we service.
  • Allow users easy access to up-to-the-minute, relevant information through the latest internet-based technologies.

Get out there! Go somewhere and share your experiences about the people and places you see and not just the boring details of where you’ve been. Join the rest of the people around the world that love what you’re doing as well.

The Facebook Quicktime Virus

I’ve written about my dislike of Apple software a variety of times before. You see my experience with dealing with and trying to remove Apple software has been more akin to the feelings I have when trying to get rid of malware or other unwanted software on computers. The challenge now is that I’ve gotten Apple off of my computer but now they’ve teamed with Facebook to get it back on my computer with Quicktime.

I’m not sure what bothers me more in this situation. I understand that Quicktime is a popular plug-in and many people have no problem with the application.

My bigger frustration is that I have to continually tell Facebook and my Firefox browser that I’m not interested in the plugin and I’m NOT GOING TO “Install Missing Plugins”.

Does anyone know if there’s some way to force the browser or Facebook to remember my preference here? I’d love to know if you do. It gets old continually trying to take care of this issue.
