Posted on Sunday, March 5th, 2006

Ask.com Maps & Directions
Posted on Sunday, March 5th, 2006
The latest addition to the online mapping frenzy comes from none other than ask.com (that search engine that fired its card-bored butler remember?). At map.ask.com you can find maps and directions. A first glance may remind you of that other mapping solution. But … this one is aware of roads in the rest of the [...]

Google Page Creator (Beta of course)
Posted on Thursday, February 23rd, 2006
Normally I wouldn’t blog about yet another new Google product release. Now would I? Hey, I’m not the Googleblog you know. But this time they’ve released a product that lets my mother create webpages in no-time, although I doubt if anyone’s waiting for another bridge-site. (Sorry mom. ) So what is it? It’s an easy-to-use [...]

What’s it gonna be?
Posted on Wednesday, February 22nd, 2006
I’ve been looking at this ‘Future Pagerank’ for some days now: What’s it gonna be? A PR 6? Level off on a PR 5? Or a penalty on a PR 1? I can’t tell from all the datacenters dancing around. Looks more exciting than an Olympic ice-dancing final. Anyway, Matt Cutts is awfully quiet. I [...]

Who’s using the Search Bar anyway?
Posted on Thursday, February 16th, 2006
While browsing to Yahoo! this bar on top struck me. Click to enlarge: Apparently Yahoo! is promoting the Search Bar, which is standard issue in Firefox. Guess they want us to change the default Google setting. This in turn made me think of the times I used that Search Bar. Probably once, the first time [...]

The Orange Icon, part 2
Posted on Thursday, December 15th, 2005
Microsoft has decided. The feed indicator in IE 7 is still orange! Most surprisingly it’s the same one that Firefox has. Well, not so much of a surprise, because it was the Mozilla foundation who kindly ‘donated’ it: Thanks again to the Mozilla team for making the icon available and helping us do the right [...]

Other december 9 surprises
Posted on Saturday, December 10th, 2005
Besides the release leakage of GE for Mac. Del.icio.us take-over Like Yahoo! taking hold of del.icio.us. Just as LookSmart did with Furl. Update: The take-over sounds a little strange to me as Yahoo! was working on it’s own del.icio.us/Furl with their My Web 2.0 BETA. Which can save ‘personal’ pages and tag them. We’ll see [...]
