Looks like Google has made some updates to the Gmail interface. When displaying a message, there is now a reply button on the top right of the text, with no more options on top of the message (show original, report phishing etc.). Instead, these are now in a drop down menu right next to the […]

Zephoria.org today talks about how young people use email and how they have no emotional connection to it, while their passion is IM, Facebook and MySpace. I wholeheartedly but with a sadly have to agree.
I’m part of the generation caught between email and IM where IM feels more natural but most of the folks […]

Skype today announced the release of Skype 3.0 Beta, with lots and lots of new features and UI updates. I am especially interested in some of the new features, as they are going to make some things that have typically been very hard for novice users very simple to use. Especially, the company is referring […]

Riya Returns

November 8, 2006 | 2 Comments

I have to give it to Munjal of Riya, the new like.com visual search engine is simply brilliant. The combination of image search and shopping engine is engineered very smartly. Soon, you will even be able to upload a picture and find similar pictures online.
I used Riya for a while, but the interface got too […]

This is rather sad. Now even larger brands are getting involved in the Pay-Per-Post scheme.

Studio 60 Sucks

November 7, 2006 |

Dave Winer asks:
Is it just me or did Studio 60 totally suck last night?

No Dave, it is not just you, it really sucked - but the problem is, it has sucked from the beginning. I could never really put a finger on it, but there was a great piece in Slate a while back (actually, it was […]

Gillmor-Less Gang

November 6, 2006 | 2 Comments

I agree with Doc Searls that this week’s Gillmor Gang was very good - and not just because Doc was on a different phone (I haven’t had time listened to the last chapter yet, and neither the first, as the feed didn’t seem to include the first one). Since last week’s episode featured an almost […]

Dave Sifry of Technorati.com today features one his regular State of the Blogosphere posts. Not much new here, but it is good to see the sphere growing and the number of splogs slowing.
For those of us in the tech-blogosphere, I think is is interesting to note this graph, as it puts our world into perspective:

The People of Web 2.0

November 5, 2006 | 2 Comments

Perfect fodder for all of those who hate talk about blogging A-lists and “A-listers.” Dan Frost of The San Francisco Chronicle has compiled a list of the key people of the Web 2.0 movement. He is only missing out one player - all of the users.
So here I present - the A-list according to Dan […]

The Netscape blog asked for some feedback on some changes to the site. You just have to check out the comments on that blog post to see how the netscape users feel.
It’s interesting that a lot of these users say they use netscape for their email - so they are bound to go to the […]
