via Google Operating System by Ionut Alex Chitu on February 25, 2008

You only need to add some code to your site and anyone could click on the generated badge to chat with you."A Google Talk chatback badge allows others to chat with you even if they haven't...

via Techmeme by (author unknown) on February 27, 2008
Robert Scoble / Scobleizer:What made me cry: Microsoft's World Wide Telescope — Lots of people are asking me questions about what made me cry at Microsoft a few weeks ago. — If I told you “a telescope” you'd make fun of me, right?

Times they are a changing
via Scripting News by (author unknown) on February 26, 2008

Not feeling the CardSpace love
via idunno.org by Barry Dorrans on February 26, 2008

The honest answer is "Nowhere, beyond a pathetic nod at it with Live ID™, using self issued cards to protect the Live ID login page, and only if you’re in Internet... Shared by: Alan Dean,
