Origami



Origami is the latest buzz in blogosphere and appears to be an advertisement for a hand-held, wireless touch-screen computer from Microsoft.

US consulate in Hyderabad?

The US Congress has passed a bill that allows for opening one more consulate in India, in either Hyderabad or Bangalore. Now Bush concealed agenda during his visit to Hyderabad raises speculation of new consulate in Hyderabad.

I feel geographic and demographic features suit Hyderabad better. Also Hyderabad consulate would relieve the waiting time at all other US consulates, whereas a Bangalore one would only help Madras. With AP's NRI influence in US, they can lobby better for their cause.

just use gMail

The same guy who predicted the Gmail for domains last week has found two new lines of code that hint at voicemail and evites.com integration.

"This [voicemail] service will be most useful when Google starts providing full VoIP services, but until then it could be used for missed GTalk calls."

"Based on the code[evite], the first point of integration with Evite will be through GMail by adding an "Invitations" section. This section will probably let you create and manage invitations as easily as sending email. The second point of integration could be with Google Calendar — if it is ever released — by showing scheduled events in a calendar view."

MM --> G

Adaptive path's Measure Map decided to prefer acquired by Google over Yahoo. Jeff and his UI team have joined Google. This is great for the analytics team at Google.

I am attending Adaptive path workshop here in Seattle on Feb 15th and 16th. Hope I get to meet the Jesse James Garrett, the guy who coined the AJAX acronym.

Update: I didn't meet JJG but today (2/18) is 1st b'day of AJAX.

blog thro flock

This is my first post via the flock browser. Itz a browser to help slackers like me be more social with ease.

Flock integrates blogging, and an interface to Flickr. Users can post a Weblog entry, build and share photo collections and share favorite Web sites with friends all in one place—within the browser itself.

PS: flock does not force blogger to publish, so as far as I can tell you still have to go into blogger to update your site, even though the post shows up.
