I am missing for 2h from computer and Google launches a new service. It looks pretty nice and at least for me it’s kind of bye bye Bloglines. Considering the fact that it’s Ajax one of the first reviews I saw it’s from Ajaxian Blog
Apparently this is no new news, Chris Sherman new about this one since August. You should check also:
Of course in oder to have acess you need a Google account. If you are outside US and you still don’t have a Gmail account send me a message through the contact form and I’ll mail you an invite.
Edit:
But of course..scalability seems to be an issue for Google. Now it’s down, and it hasn’t been Slashdoted yet…

This is quite a goody. Why watching only CNN when you can choose to watch multiple video versions of the same story. Add this to human moderated news (Google does that automatically) and you have a good contender to the role of news king

I just hope that this step will lead the way to Firefox branded browsers. Today I was looking too see if clones of Firefox exist and I was amazed to see that there are none. I mean what’s wrong in the picture? IE is not open source but clones like Maxthon and Avant Browser (to name just a few) are here for quite a long time. I expect (and also want) a Yahoo branded browser to give me quick access to the Yahoo services for example. And the ways to explore this are vitually unlimited

Let’s play the “Conspiracy Game” and read between the the lines….
We will see this:
It promises to be hot, humid and rainy down on Bourbon Street
If we are playing the game we will see the threat….but we are not paranoid …aren’t we?
