A lot of news has flown into my head over this month for no particular reason (I suppose) because,
a) I listen to FM Radio regualrly now!
b) I also *regularly* peek at slashdot and CNET news for technology updates which was previously like the frequency of australian cricket team losing matches
c) plus a lil less pressuring situation @ my work place!!!
A few stuff which I definetely wanted to share are,
a) Google is launching Google Wave a next generation collaboration app, whcih combines, email, chat, file share and a few more things. I read that this is touted to gain attention as much as iPhone launch!!
b) Microsoft is launching *bing* a purportedly serious contender to Google Search. MS Live Search fell flat on face in comparison to Google I remember searching my name in livesearch and google. Google in addition to giving every detail about my online presence, delivered 55 relevant results, while live search could muster up only 5 results, and none of them being a direct link to my blogspot (my most prominent online presence)... such performance has triggered MS to buy acquire a search company and do a serious soul searching, I should say! And having read previews about bing, it is definetely encouraging!!! lets see if my name returns atleast 50 of those entries that Google could figure out!
c) I curse myself for being lazy...which has become a daily aspect of my life of-late. I should have registered online, and would have atleast had a shot at getting selected for the workshop called *Thiraikathai Ezhuthuvathu eppadi*..conducted by none-other than Mr. Kamalhaasan! and a couple of other people!! starting yesterday for 4 days in Madras!
and a few more news items I wanted to share but dont remember ontop of my head now!!lets see if they can form another digest.
