Brand new Google Reader for iPhone
via Official Google Reader Blog by dolapo on May 11, 2008
Mobile web browsers have come a long way since we first introduced an XHTML version of Reader back in 2006. For example, iPhone and iPod Touch owners know how powerful having a full-featured browser is. We on the Reader team are heavy mobile Safari users. Sometimes we use it to kill time, other times for answering important questions that come up during brunch: What is Tyrol's first name? How...

Why You Should Clean Your Keyboard--Right This Minute [Keyboards]
via Lifehacker by Gina Trapani on May 05, 2008
A new UK study shows that keyboards swabbed from an ordinary London office had more harmful bacteria than—you know what's coming—a toilet seat. Yeeks! The accompanying survey showed that most users clean their keyboard infrequently (if at all), and clean their mouse even less often. Here's what you do: shut down your PC, unplug your keyboard and mouse, shake out any dust, lint and...

via Official Gmail Blog by Robby Stein on March 02, 2008
Posted by Robby Stein, Associate Product Marketing ManagerA few months ago I wrote about how using colored labels with filters can provide an entirely new way to visualize your inbox. I just started using a feature that further helps me quickly prioritize my email. When enabled, "personal level indicators" put arrows next to messages in your inbox so you can tell if an email was addressed to you,...

World's biggest drawing created with the help of GPS and DHL
via Engadget by Joshua Fruhlinger on May 24, 2008
Filed under: GPSThere are all sorts of creative uses for GPS, but here's a fellow who says he sent a self-designed GPS "device" in a briefcase to DHL with express travel instructions. He plotted the shipment's movement and ended up with the drawing you see above. We're a bit confused. First, he says he developed a GPS device with extended tracklog and battery time. Okay, but... using...

Arrington Gets His Hands On Microsoft TouchWall
via TechCrunch by Mark Hendrickson on May 13, 2008
Mike had a chance yesterday to try out the new Microsoft TouchWall, which debuts at the CEO Summit today (more video at that second link).Watch the vid above to see how it responds to the touch of a new user. Not bad, I’d say, although it does get a bit jittery at times. It’s impressive that all of this is possible with just a few hundred dollars worth of off-the-shelf equipment (and some...

Twitter Can Be Liberated - Here’s How
via TechCrunch by Michael Arrington on May 04, 2008
Over the last few days a number of popular bloggers have complained, loudly, that it’s time to ditch Twitter and move to a decentralized version of the service that won’t go down every time usage spikes. Generally services like Twitter, once they reach a critical mass of users, can’t really be stopped because the network effect kicks in as a massive barrier to entry. But one aspect of...

Presdo, The Magical Online Scheduler
via TechCrunch by Erick Schonfeld on April 24, 2008
I want you to stop what you are doing right now and go try Presdo. It is a deceptively simple online scheduling assistant that is a prime example of what a modern Web app should be. It only shows you what you need to see at the moment that you need to see it. And it understands what you want to do based on normal (and not-so-normal) English that you type in. “We actually threw a lot...
