An opportunity?

Was observing my daughter on the computer this afternoon. She was actively Facebooking with friends logged onto FB, while at the same time actively texting on her phone with those that were not logged onto FB. This seems like one of those situations that should be made easier. Sort of like when we all had several devices on our hips that eventually were merged into the modern day cell or smart phone.

I know there is the ability to update facebook and get facebook messages through SMS on a cell, but for some reason that feels difficult and may take longer than it really needs to. Or maybe this all that needs to happen.

What are your thoughts, keep in mind not everyone has a smart phone so those really cool FB apps for phones are cool, but not available to everyone.

Google email undo

Google has a new feature you can add in that allows you to undo sending a message... sort of. You get about 3-4 seconds to react to hitting the send button, then if you see the message at the top of your screen you can click there and stop the send function. It definitely works, but you have to be on your toes to catch it. Here is how to add it.

On your main gmail screen click on settings

Next click on the Labs tab

Finally scroll down (way down) to the Undo option and enable it.

Go to the bottom of the page and click Save

Now you have the feature.

Recently found Mashups

Here are two links to interesting Mashups on the web I recently found.

I like this one that mashes google maps with craigslist.
http://www.housingmaps.com/

Classic mash of maps, traffic, and weather. Also check out the flight delays and 3D weather globe!

Cuil!

Check this new Internet search engine out pronounced "cool". I would give it some time to tune the search results, but the features are really cool (or is that cuil). Look out Google there a new kid on the block and he is really cuil :-)

Blog list

I have added the new blog list to this site showing you recent postings from blogs that I think are pretty darn cool. Everything 2.0 is a must see. Enjoy!
