Google Purge. Google Announces Plan To Destroy All Information It Can’t Index.

Creating Groups on Gmail.

As Jeremy put it, GMail is really damn fast. Faster than desktop email. I prefer it to Outlook, and hence to my work e-mail ID.

Notes from Danny O’Brien’s NotCon Recap of Life Hacks. Summary: People use shells. People use todo.txt. We’ll have private blogs. We’ll have private RSS feeds. Geeks use secret scripts.

Dodgeball lets you broadcast your location to friends via a mobile. The interesting thing is, Google has bought Dodgeball.

Broadcasting on Google Talk.

I installed Google Desktop Search 2. The best part is “search as you type”. It also introduces a sidebar showing e-mail, RSS feeds, news, photos, popular searches, etc. The indexing is much faster too. (I take that back. Indexing is as slow as ever.)

Google Talk is a Google instant messenger. It’s quite small (900K), very simple, and uses HTML+Javascript+CSS+XML. But I’m yet to figure out it it has any cool features. Quick review at DownloadSquad.

Folder Size lets you see the size of folders in Windows Explorer.
