Got tired of trying to track down all the local civic group meetups and events.
iCal feeds FTW!

Re:Should makers of viral videos get a cut of music sales?

Well that is an interesting idea. I have had music stripped from my videos I made in Iraq because they contained copywrited music. One of my videos was supposedly played by ESPN at a basket-ball game.
I think it sounds nice in theory but you would have a hard time convincing RIAA that money can flow the other way.

This comment wasn't meant to be derogatory. That is effectively their diet and they are some of the best savers in the world.

Ha! Not sure what my mom would think if I sent her an email with suicide in my signature. Plus, Google does crawl your emails, any concern that if you consistently use "bad" keywords it might alert the Black Helicopters to come swooping down and nab you? :)

I am pretty sure that Google Chrome is going to facilitate this. At least it will herald in a new age of browser minimization and the OS will have a renewed opportunity to serve.

Google has a strange way of not just reinventing an industry (like they did with search, docs, and you could even say the calendar) but they constantly do so in such a way that is promotes the industry. They never destroy something because they can to eliminate competition. (like GM did when they bought and subsequently ripped up the street car lines to make more room for their cars)
In times like these, efficiency in the system is a must, and thankfully they are not sacrificing any for their brand.

Re:New Twitter Homepage Goes Live With Search Front And Center

I really like how they have redefined their mission. For a long time, no one has been using Twitter (at least not primarily) to tell others strictly what they are doing. Twitter has finally turned the page, at least as far as their homepage is concerned, to allow themselves to be defined by their fans. Bravo Twitter!
