CL2: Google’s Calender Screens

By Bish | Published: 08/03/2006 – 20:53 | Posted in Quick, Web, Web2.0 | Comments (0)

Michael Arrington has posted some screens and details of the forthcoming calendar web app from Google. CL2, as it looks as though it will be called is clearly moulded in the Gmail format and looks as though existing users will find picking up the product very easy. Its interesting that this product is likely to come out towards the same quarter as Vista’s release which is gonna provide a much improved mail app and calendar built in.

A little late (on my part) but Newsvine came out of beta on March 1st. The social news site is first class in my opinion and have to say that it has become one of my (almost) daily reads for news, tech and gaming. Check out my first impressions and fears here and if you haven’t already signed up then what are you waiting for? 

 

Review: Edgeio – Listings from the Edge?

I have been fortunate enough to be playing around with Michael Arrington and Keith Teare’s Edgeio for the last few days and I have to admit I quite like the service. I am rather sceptical about a service that is boldly taking on big players like EBay and Craigslist though they may just gain enough momentum to make this worth while.

This is part I of a II part guide to making the most of Delicious, the social bookmarking service.  Part I is intended as a ‘Getting Started’ or a ‘Beginners Guide’ to Delicious, pitched at the user who has never heard of Delicious or has just signed up (its free). Part II will follow, though a continuation, it is aimed at the more experienced web user who’s interested in developing the way they use Delicious to make the most of this excellent service and the extras that have been made available.

“Del.icio.us?… Social Bookmarking?… pfft! What’s all the fuss about?”

More Yahoo and Digg Rumours……

DiggMore and more rumours are circulating about Digg being snapped up by the Web 2.0 harvester that is Yahoo. $30m is the figure circulating and my point of view is there is no smoke without fire. Both the Search Engine Journal and Techcrunch have posted on this along with countless others recently and I, for one, am keen to see this happen. I posted more on this subject over two weeks ago and have touched on the benefits in another post. According to Kevin Burton’s blog, it’s not a matter of if but when and the announcement could be as soon as next week!
