You can use Gmail to do a lot of other things besides reading (and storing) your mail. You can use it to:
- manage a todo list;
- find information on RSS feeds;
- find torrents;
- use it as a notepad;
- filter spam;
- storage a photo gallery.
Learn
here how to do all that.

Last 20 of June, the Wall Street Journal wrote about
Google plan to launch a electronic payment service. Today, i found
this page. The story behind this page is: last week, Tony Ruscoe decided to probe for working Google subdomains and
found a few. One with high interest was purchase.google.com, so webmasterbrain.com decided to take a deep look into it, and
here are their discoveries (they even have a
screenshot). It seems Google is building a paypal competitor, isn't it?

This weekend my cable tv decided to not work anymore, so i had to re-invent my entertainment definition. For a couple of weeks now, i have my adsl link up and running, so i decided to make some web digging and see what was there for me. And here are the results: if you want to watch live tv channels from all over the world (+100), try
BeelineTV; to the ones who like short funny movies, try
darlugo,
truveo or
google video; if you want to watch some old movies or tv series (remember Flash Gordon?) you can always take a peek at
Emol and download some, since they are copyright free; and if don't give a damn to copyright, and don't care for video quality, go to
divxcrawler and download some of last month blockbusters. After this, who needs cable tv after all?
Update: my cable tv is up again, so i will be able to watch the soccer game tonight. Yes, there's a reason to have cable tv, after all.
Update2: just found a post
here on using Google to find for open index webpages with movies. Just click
here to see some results provided by Google.

BetaNews as a rumour about Microsoft and Yahoo linking their IM networks. The main reason to do that seems to be the ever growing threat from voice chats, like Skype, which, by the way, as a new wireless voice handset by Linksys, the
CIT2000. In my personal opinion, in order to survive, all IM networks will have to connect to each other, so this decision is only one more step to the inevitable.

Today, is all about visual:
1) from a study on biological motion patterns, play with the sliders
here and try to guess who's walking;
2) adverstising companies should take a look at the
heliodisplay, it can really boost any old billboard;
3) a truly "fingertips" experience with this new computer interface, TactaPad, and since i'm only linking to visual experiences, watch the demos where
one interacts with a Mac, and where
one makes some drawings;
4) and finally, a
personal site which looks exactly as is owner powerbook (requires flash player 8).

I've just noticed Google
Reader, so I decided to give it a try. First step, export my
blogroll from
Bloglines: 20 seconds. Second step, import it to Google Reader. It's not working with Safari, and seems to do nothing with Firefox. Bahhh, it's friday night, I'm going for a beer.

After losing the
eDonkey battle, the P2P community responds with:
the revamp of suprnova.org; the same code and layout, but a new owner and a new name, newnova.org
a huge index of BitTorrent sites at isoHunt.com
and mixing BitTorrent and the l2p network, a fully anonymous P2P
1-1, I would say...

So, we have
gmail with is "growing every second" mail storage capacity (aproximetly 2.5 GB). Yesterday, I found
30gigs.com, a invite only free 30 GB mail capacity service. And when I was almost bloging about it, the heavy height contender debuted: the first TB (as in Tera Bytes, as in 1024 Giga Bytes) free(!) mail service,
mailnation.net.
