On logging into Google Reader just now, I noticed that it now shows me a group of feeds that correspond to my friends’ shared items. This is terrific! Note: Friends are defined as your Google Talk buddies.
There is a Facebook app that works similarly, but I’m glad this functionality is now built in [...]
These two podcasts provide great background on the new Google Gears (AJAX apps, offline) project. The first, with Brad Neuberg (THE expert in the field of offline AJAX), covers the basics and discusses the connection between Dojo’s offline functionality and Gears. The second, with Mike Tsao, covers the short history of Gears development [...]

Reader Trends, added today to Google Reader, provides a lot of insight into a user’s feed reading behavior. For instance, the graphs of my reading habits are very informative and confirmed that I do most of my feed reading late in the evening and on weekends. I’m really impressed with the Trends [...]
Is there any interest out there for a version of ReaderMini.com that will work on the Sony Mylo? If so, let me know and I’ll start to investigate. I’m thinking a slideable feed list and lots of hotkey support.
I don’t have a Mylo, but it shouldn’t be too hard to get something working.
Here [...]
If you read my note a few days ago about GR on the 770 and you were thinking, “But GR doesn’t work AT ALL in Opera for me!”, I have a fix for you. To get the 770’s version of Opera to work at all with Google Reader, you need to change a line [...]
For the past few nights I’ve been trying to figure out why Google Reader is slow on the Nokia 770. In my experience it generally takes 30 seconds to switch between feeds.
Number of feeds is not a factor. The feed switch time doesn’t change a lot. I tried 2 accounts - one [...]
I haven’t visited my Gregarius install in days - I feel like a traitor, but Reader is too well done! As Scoble says, Google Reader is getting really good. They do need to add: reorder feeds with drag and drop, easily post to my blog with a linked quote from Google Reader items [...]
Congrats to Mike Solomon and the YouTube crew. You earned it!
I bought another copy of my son’s favorite book (he keeps tearing out pages) with Google Checkout this morning.
As a buyer, I might prefer Google Checkout over Paypal. Both services keep my cc# away from the seller AND give the seller no way to get money from me without my express permission. With [...]
This is fantastic news! Finally the browsers on my home desktop, my work notebook and my eo UMPC can all share the same bookmarks, history, cookies and (gulp) saved passwords, synchronized in REAL TIME! AND this extension will make dual booting a lot less stressful. Download here.
As a bonus nice touch, when you [...]
YES!
Google just announced that they are releasing a limited version of SketchUp for free! Meanwhile, you can visit the 3D Warehouse to find everyone else’s (geographically-tagged) creations.
SketchUp is really easy to use. I suggest watching a few of the videos to get started and then dive right in. I made a Sonic Screwdriver 3D model [...]
I played with Google’s new property, SketchUp, tonight. After watching a couple of the videos, it’s easy to use. I hope they release a free version. [More on SketchUp over at Make.]
Anyway, I grabbed an image of the Doctor Who Sonic Screwdriver (the Eccleston version) from Henriks, imported it as a texture and [...]
blog.tokash.org and all it’s children currently have a PR of 0. It looks like I’m being penalized. For what, though? Is it just a wierd hiccup at Google? When I looked 2 days ago, most of my pages had a PR of 4 or 5.
Update: I just checked the PR of [...]
Paul Stone found a reference to Google Calendar and Om has more info.
The Origami plot thickens with the found video and Om chastizes Palm for not doing it first (I totally agree).
