SkyDrive vs. "GDrive"

Recently, Google announced an update to their Google Docs solution which now allows you to upload any type of file, not just office documents. Many are calling this “GDrive” after the long-rumored service which is supposedly a cloud-based storage solution from Google. Although the news got a lot of coverage from the blogosphere, few sites [...]

How To Fix The New Google Reader

As you’ve probably heard by now, Google Reader was updated yesterday with a completely new UI. After the initial shock (change is scary) and once I realized that all the features were still there (I thought they had been removed, but they were just hidden), I was able to calmly assess the changes and determine [...]

Am I A Google Reader Over-Sharer? Are You?

I’ve been taking a closer look at my Google Reader feeds lately, and, as always, I’m trying to stem the tide so the signal can rise above the noise.

My Gmail Inbox Is Filled With Spam Linking to Google Groups

You certainly have to hand it to the spammers – they are nothing if not resourceful. I have no idea how they’re doing this, but lately I’ve been getting tons (and I mean tons) of spam in my Gmail inbox. Not my Spam folder but my actual inbox. Although my email address is publicly available, [...]

Whoa! I Just Got Feedly Results in My Google Search Results

Apparently, I missed this little update on the Feedly blog: “feedly + google search experiment.” It read: One of the first pieces of feedback we received when we launched beta 1 was to extend feedly’s search capabilities. Paul was the first to raise this issue but many more requested a similar feature. We chewed on [...]

My Blog Leaderboard – It’s All About the Sharers

Over the weekend, Louis Gray posted on his blog “Roll Your Own Blog Leaderboard With Google Reader Trends.” After seeing his article, of course I had to look at My Google Reader trends, too. A couple of things immediately jumped out at me. One, I’m guilty of self-promotion and My Google Reader trends certainly reveal [...]
