Hopes for a more Unified Google

Anyone that knows me, knows I am an avid Google Supporter and am always one of the first to know about any cool new services the company releases. My friends often joke and ask whether I am an undercover Google Salesman, to which the answer is always the same “No, but i wish i was”.

I am using pretty much every service that Google has available in one way or another. Gmail for my personal mail, Hosted Gmail for our business mail, Writely (since before it was acquired by Go [...]

Ok, well i know this has been a bit of a half baked attempt at a blog, but in all truth this was more an opportunity to play around with wordpress to get a feel for whether it was the right blogging engine for us. So…. after a bit of tinkering i have decided that wordpress is the way forward and we have just setup our new blogs using the multi user version (mu.wordpress.org). It was a bit of a mission to setup as first, as it isnt yet offically stable, but after speding a bit of time o [...]

Hmmm.. so the browser wars begin! Firefox, Flock or Songbird? Crap, which do i choose?

Well, after a much anticipated wait, songbird is now available for download! What is songbird you might ask.. Simply put - its a new integrated media browser, like flock, its developed on firefox.

Well how is this for a find! I remember finding Flock a couple of months ago, before they had a beta release available - and since then havent give it much though. Safe to say i am totally stoked that i stumpled across it again today. Flock combines everything available in Firefox and MUCH MUCH MORE!!! In the past hour since i first installed, i have managed to get all my favorite firefox extentions work, but also configured / tweaked, etc. Here are a couple of reasons why i am so excited abo [...]
