Gmail does good!

I open my Gmail account this morning and what did I find? A delete button! Now it doesn’t take me two clicks to delete messages, one button is all I need. Thanks Google, it’s about freakin’ time. BTW, they’ve also made Gmail accessible...

Microsoft is acting like Bill Clinton

When I saw this I was shocked. Microsoft has a sense of humor. If you have ever used a Microsoft product you must see this. When you reach the page , click “watch the entire show” to view the video. This could be the funniest MS video ever...

TechEd Thoughts: Friday

I caught Ron Howard's cabana talk on Community Server. There's a lot of cool new stuff that they've got planned. I got the feeling that they've got more features than devs/time. But it's good to know that they've got their pulse on the community and are...

Does AdSense makes sense?

I really need to look into Google’s AdSense . Pirillo talks about how he loves AdSense . And this guy, Joel Comm, proclaims how he makes $500 a day with AdSense. He’s even written an e-book on how you can earn more with AdSense . You just...

Use Gmail with your e-mail account

Lately, I’ve been completely infatuated with Google’s Gmail . It’s fast, free, and you get 2 GB of storage space. It also handles spam pretty well. I was using iMail that my web host provides and Microsoft Outlook. But that was cumbersome...

Yahoo! buys Flickr

Oh boy, my favorite photo site, Flickr was just bought by Yahoo . From what I understand Flickr will be improved and not become Yahoo photos. They also want to preserve the “Flickrness” of the site. I hope they’re successful in doing...

The New Ameritrade

I've been very impressed with the new Ameritrade site. I used to get lost all the time on the old site. Simple things like making a deposit into my account were way too complicated. Now a simple wizard walks you though the deposit process. One thing I...

ESPN.com: the Anti-Google

I recently commented on Reemer's site that I thought that ESPN.com was the anti-Google . I would like to take a moment to explain that comment. Google's homepage has twelve links. ESPN.com has over two hundred. ESPN has content everywhere. Flyouts, personalization...
