I’ve been doing a tremendous amount of surfing the web lately, what with having a college assignment to do and wanting to do practically anything I can to avoid it, and I have found some groovy stuff I’d like to share if you’re of a geeky disposition as I am…
- Firefox Personas is a nice way to ‘skin’ Firefox with different colour schemes and images. Plus I recommend trying Firefox 3 – only a release candidate but really good.
- Google Calendar Sync synchronises your Outlook calendar with your Google Calendar.
- Remember the Milk for Gmail is a very handy way of adding task management from Remember the Milk to your Gmail account.
- I’m trying Twitter and am using Twhirl to update my status. I think I might be starting to see the point of Twitter.
- Digsby is a multi-platform IM client and email / social network notification tool that has done away with a few applications I was using previously.
- The Filter, a new project backed by pixie-bearded pop loon Peter Gabriel, is a recommendation service for music and films, which uses your ratings to give you titles it thinks you’ll like.
- Amazingtunes is a new music service with a focus on new and unsigned bands. You can stream tracks online and buy them if you really like them, and the artist gets a decent cut of the money. Listen to Rob Marr’s Lighthouse Keeper’s Cottage or Upsidedown by Belle Humble.
