I’ll watch pretty much any video the office writers put out. (via DHD)
New Google Reader Feature
Google reader has also released a featured that is almost cool enough for me to like. I like the idea of my reading list being turned in to my blogroll.
I need more option though. I just don’t want a list. I want to be able to sort them bye which I read the most. I don’t see why instead of a javascript include they can’t just put out an API. Sue it’s more work but this feature seems like it’s for the power users anyway.
Gmail Contacts
Gmail is finally showing me the new interface. Most of the new features are supposed to be backend but there are a few features of note. The contact manager is more robust and with the ability to add people’s IM from other services. It’s unclear if gtalk will actually let me talk to them though the gtalk client but I wait with baited breath.
The new contact manager is nice but still sadly under powered. I know too many people with multiple emails and I really want a better way to merge multi email addresses in to a single contact.
Fred Stutzman
Fred Stutzman continues to be one of the only people who has any right to talk about social networks. I've been saying this for a while but he often says it much better.
"Unfortunately, since [Facebook] are ego-centric, there's no way to sustain this network in the long-haul." (link)
The Dollar is Dead
Superstar model Gisele is refusing to get paid in dollars and wants Euros instead. This sounds like a tipping point if I ever heard one.
