Do you Twitter?  If you do, then follow me on Twitter.

The success of Twitter is because instead of a long blog post, you can get an update of a person of interest within 140 characters.  This is a good way to use Twitter as you get all updates of all your friends within a single webpage.

If you are behind a corporate firewall, you might not be able to use Twitter.  In this case, Present.ly comes into the scene.

Present.ly, just similar to Twitter, is also a micro-update communications tool.  It can be installed within your own network, so that only people inside your company can have access to it.  Employees would have the ability to instantly communicate their current status online.

Ratio?  One to many.

Since we are talking about this, you might as well follow me on Twitter

Just like Google with iGoogle & Google Gadgets, or Facebook’s widget platform, Yahoo is going to open up their platform for third party applications.

Applications written and shown on the Yahoo site allows users to check information without leaving the site. Thus keeping the users on the Yahoo site for longer.

Yahoo would still control who can write the applications to avoid security issues. Therefore, it is not really a ‘open for all’ news.

But this would at least make users of Yahoo feel safe, as they don’t have to worry about personal data being in jeopardy.

Google Chrome has just released! It is the long waiting Google OS. It is really a browser.

Google claims it has better stability and won’t slow your computer down, as it frees up memory when a tab is closed. It also uses multi-threading technology so everything runs in parallel. If anything goes wrong, you only lost one tab. Not the whole browser.

A 38-page comics is available for you to understand the browser more. You can view it here:

You can download the new browser here:

I am hoping that addon / plugin would be available shortly.

Google recently announced the launch of Knol.

What is being considered a Knol? A knol is an authoritative article about a specific topic.

Knols were written by authoritative people who actually knows about the topics. Nowadays, Knol is open for everyone.

Every Knol would have an author (or group of authors) who put their name behind their content. The content represents their knowledge and opinion.

Google is trying to introduce “moderated collaboration”. Readers can suggest or comment on the articles, and the authors would have control over what they have published.

Bonus: Google has an agreement with the New Yorker magazine which allows any author to add one cartoon per knol from the New Yorker’s extensive cartoon repository.

Know something? Want to share? Knol it.
