Amazon e-book - Kindle

Thursday, November 22nd, 2007

Kindle is a little computer which allows you to download books/blogs/newspaper from amazon at a cost…

This could be a big thing and for us seo’s the most interesting thing would be to find out how to get your blog on the list..

The telegraph mentions you can only download book from amazon ONLY so I’m guessing it will be the same for the blogs.. 

Looks pretty cool…

Old meets new! Google Earth maps

Tuesday, November 14th, 2006

This is very cool ..

The David Rumsey Historical Map Collection has been added to google earth.. http://www.davidrumsey.com/

This morning was incredibly exciting for me: when I opened up Google Earth, there were 16 of my historic map treasures floating serenely on the Google Earth globe. After months of hard work, the Google Earth team uploaded all the maps this weekend to the Featured Content layer of Google Earth. I was able to explore and fly around the old maps and use the transparency slider to compare the old world and the new; as I did this, I thought to myself that this is the perfect marriage of historic cartographic masterpieces with the innovative contemporary software tools of Google

Coffee in the morning ?

Tuesday, November 14th, 2006

google is now asking what we start our day off with ..

 

Well may day starts with a cup of tea and the news on the bbc…

After that a short bus ride and a short tube ride to my office..

Simple as that..

 So now google is offering the bit after all that.. The bit when I switch my laptop on and fireup my browser..

I’ve thought a lot about this challenge, and I’m excited to finally tell everyone about what I’ve been working on: a brand new feature of Google Apps for Your Domain called the “start page.” With this, organizations can provide a dynamic and unique-to-you central access point for essential information. Setting it up is quick and easy — much like setting up a Google Personalized Homepage — but with custom logos, colors and your organization’s own content, in addition to modules from our gadget library. Then each of your users can take your organization’s default page and change it up so it’s just right for them.

New toy comes with google tools ..

Thursday, November 2nd, 2006

 

I’m a bit sad really and often go to buy something for a good reason.. And today was not execption..

I need some ink for a printer so went off to buy some.. Simple.. In the back of my mind I thought about a new external hard drive after seeing the prices drop like mad the other day..

So I saw a seagate 320gb for £79 and thought wow.. Thats pretty cheap..

The only problem I had was it didn’t look very styled.. (looked like a paper shreader)

Sat next to it was the “MyBook” by Western Digital I’ve never had any problems before with WD and this one looked new and not from the 60’s

Back to the seo side of this post…

The “MyBook” came with some great back up software and…. You guessed it google toolkits..
