Some pretty cool news tonight. Google Mail now does IMAP (it’s an option in your settings now).
If anything, this makes live easier for those who want a well synchronized online/offline experience. If anything, it means Google is ahead of the competition once again.
Personally, I am quite happy with the web interface and won’t use the […]

Chances are, the movie isn’t going to be that great, but I love the premise.

You really have to take your time to read Stephen Fry’s blog posts. Maybe somebody can get to him and till him that more, shorter posts are more fitting for the net.
On the other hand, maybe it’s a good way to test people’s attention span. Just add something really offensive at the end of a […]

One of the most important things that keeps a blog alive is simply a blogger who shows up regularly. Readers expect new fodder on a regular basis or they will run off and watch one of Scoble’s videos instead.
The problem I have today is simply that there really isn’t a lot of interesting news out […]

Here is an interesting idea from MG Siegler of ParisLemon:
I’d love it if Techmeme would develop a ‘backpage’ of sorts where some of us “B-listers” who are on Techmeme everyday under the headlines, could have a chance to have some of our other tech stories showcased. If you didn’t want to read it, you wouldn’t […]

I stayed out of the blogosphere for most of the day, but I just came across this post by Dave Winer about TechCrunch:
When Mike was starting TechCrunch, I pointed to his blog all the time, with glowing praise, because I was truly impressed with what he was doing and because I wanted to encourage other […]

Internal linking still sleazy
October 20, 2007 | 5 Comments
J. Waggstaff is keeping the pressure on internal linkers. Good job.
I find it personally annoying because I tend to drag links into PersonalBrain or elsewhere and expect a link that says ‘Flock’ to go to Flock. But it’s also dishonest, like putting an EXIT sign over a door in a shop which instead goes into […]

Google today announced a Google News Application for Facebook. Google timidly calls it an “experimental” application:
This experimental application enables users to create custom sections or select from a set of pre-defined topics, then browse and share stories with their friends on Facebook. We are trying a couple things differently with this application, and it is […]

What do those people do?
October 19, 2007 | 1 Comment
Elinor Millis is asking what all those 16.000 people who work at Google actually do. Turns out that Google doubled it’s headcount within the last year and that has some analysts worried:
The fast pace of hiring at the search giant is the one concern Jordan Rohan, an analyst at RBC Capital Markets, mentioned in an […]

I just read this on Mashable:
PodShow, the community that lets you create, share and collect video clips and music, is seeing some success from its recently launched channel called thePLUS.
Featuring the new show BackStage Pass, the new entertainment from PodShow has gained about 1 million viewers worldwide. Powered by a new scheduling system called mediaPLUS, […]

I think the next few months will be the months of consumers making their own mash-ups. Microsoft is opening up popfly.ms (to showcase Silverlight), Intel’s Mash Maker looks very interesting, and AlchemyPoint’s Orchestr8 is still in private mode but just hit 1.0 this morning and is probably the coolest of the bunch.
Update: You might want […]

According to Forbes, half a million people downloaded Radiohead’s new album through bittorrent and 1.2 million got it legally. It’s a good article and worth your read, but I just have to take on some of the reasoning in it:
With popular album releases, illegal download volumes normally outstrip sales, says Garland. But more surprising is […]

MySpace Platform - So What?
October 17, 2007 | 2 Comments
Somehow, I fail to see the importance of a MySpace platform just as I don’t really see the point of the Facebook platform.
Both are closed silos - and MySpace is a pretty ugly one, too. So you can write widgets for them. Great. I would rather spend my time writing a Netvibes widget that is […]

Via Read/Write Web:
Microsoft has been sharing with bloggers today some screenshots of the forthcoming Microsoft Office Live Workspace. The company made its most recent major announcement about the online collaboration suite that integrates with Office at the end of last month. Interested users can now pre-register for the free service’s launch later this year.
I know […]
