So I went out looking for alternatives to Google Notebook and found a couple but the one I really like is Zoho Notebook.

Do you use Google Gmail? Have you tried the Gmail labs features? If you have and enabled the calendar feature of Gmail labs you may be seeing an authentication request if you are accessing Gmail using Google Chrome.

YouTube has just made a new site available called Test Tube this is the first of what I am sure will be more to come. New things that they have been working on over at YouTube. To start with there are two choice’s at the site for you to try. AudioSwap and Streams. I gave both of them a quick try. And I am sure that I will go back and fiddle with them a little more. Especially since I have a couple of videos loaded on YouTube that does not have any audio currently. What’s that have to do [ Read More ]
I am always amazed at what Google has in the works. Like this cool little widget to the left. You can now go to HERE and either add this to your Google Homepage or you can add it to your webpage and folks can watch TV from it. I opted to only add a still image to my site since I didn’t want it to be to disruptive but I think I will add it officially to my Google Homepage so that when I go there I can check out the latest news. There are several different channels and I [ Read More ]
