Hurricane Katrina really was a devastating blow to a lot of people's lives. I just want to take a second and shed a little more light on it. There are some pics floating around the internet of the Gulf Coast and Louisiana. Google Earth has been able to pull some really good shots.These people down here need help. Many many people everyday are giving and donating to Katrina victims. In time of

Remember the milk seems like a very useful thing to use. I'd have to get used to it myself, but it has some pretty cool features to put to use on there. It has RSS, reminders by email, text message, or instant message. Remember The Milk has an innovative tabbed interface that's very easy to use. You can even add a task by email.I think there may be some open source things involved as well,

On October 7th, 2005, Google announced the official launch of Google Local, its local directory of businesses similar to the Yellow Pages in the UK. Google also merged the technologies behind Google Local and Google Maps to create one application to access map directions and local advertisers. Local search holds strong ad revenue potential for Google, since many web surfers look for products and

Recently Google has made yet another move to bring in more profits from it's advertising avenue. Google Ads can now be seen in magazines such as Maximum PC, PC Magazine and MacAddict.

With the relase of Google Talk earlier yesterday, Google finally released Gmail, it's email service to the public. But not like your regular email accounts that you go and sign-up for. If you want to get Gmail without being invited by a current Gmail user, you can send yourself a Gmail invite through SMS also known as text-messaging.

Google Talk is now out! And I got to admit, this is a great IM client. It's nice simple and light weight. I like the CALL feature the most. You can call and talk to your buddies. Sound quality is great like the other person is sitting right next to you. Anybody want to TALK?

This one here Google should have been came out with, but I'm glad it's finally here. Google Sitemaps allows you to submit your sitemap in XML form for the googlebot spiders to index. This service is in it's beta stage, but Google's beta products are usually always pretty reliable, stable and dependable. Since you have to submit your site in XML form, this will help create more sitemaps for

Google has just recently announced that it plans on selling 14.8 million shares allowing the internet search giant to create a $4.2 billion increase in money on hand. This move alone will make Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin billionaires.What Google plans to do with all of this money is unclear at this point. But according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange commission, some

Google is trying to take over the world. I'm convinced. In San Francisco, Google has provided a free Wi-Fi spot to whoever wants to use it. Could this be the beginning of the National Broadband Network that has been rumored to be in the works for Google? Very interesting to say the least.GoogleNet! I can see it now.

So it seems as if Apple and Google are trying to come to terms of an agreement. Keep your fingers crossed. Because when it comes to the subject of software, Apple has been known to not want to do any business with lots of companies (but not all). Mr. Jobs remains tight around the throat about that. Well, I couldn't help but notice Troy Wolverton of TheStreet.com has already reported on it on

This is a nice little hack that I found. It enables you to make GMail your default email program on your PC.

Google's next takeover attempt: CHINA.
