I’ve been a big fan of GMail for a long time now, and have found a lot of great ways to use it throughout that time.
Steve Rubel over at Micro Persuasion has posted some additional tips on how to Turn GMail Into Your Nerve Center and a follow up post listing a few more ways. He covers a large variety of ways to use GMail that I hadn’t yet thought of, and I feel this is a must read for anyone that uses Google’s GMail service.

I generally don’t start testing software until it reaches its beta phase, so I turn to CyberNet News for all my updates on the alpha version of the Firefox 3.0 web browser. Ryan has posted about the new features he’s found while using Firefox 3.0.  Â
While some of the changes he covers are small, I like his attention to detail (especially when it comes to web browsers), and think its worth a read if your a fan of Firefox.Â

If you’re interesting in setting up a feed in your feed reader as an easy way to get an alert when your story has been Dugg, the How-To Geek has you covered with a quick and easy write up called How to Get Alerted When Somebody Has Dugg Your Article.
I think this is interesting, but I find it hard to figure how anyone would need an alert to know when they have been dugg? Wouldn’t the huge rush of traffic, or the fact that your site is down be noticed enough?
On a similar note, if you’re a WordPress user trying to survive the traffic rush of being Dugg, I recommend the WP-Cache plugin.

If you’re a Windows Vista user, you will probably be interested in this. Microsoft is maintaining a list of Windows Vista compatible applications that have earned the “Certified for Windows Vista” logo or the “Works with Windows Vista” logo, which is currently around 800 or so. Apparently, this list will be updated weekly, so I recommend bookmarking it for future reference if you use or plan on upgrading to Windows Vista.

As part of an ongoing series, I’ve decided to spotlight some of my favorite weblogs out there, with a focus on some of the lesser known or underappreciated blogs out there.  This week I’m doing a quick write up on JD’s Blog.
JD’s Blog is a piloted by Jason Drohn, a serial entrepreneur who blogs regularly about business and technology.  I’ve known Jason for a long time now, and have come to trust and respect his opinion on these subjects. So have many others.  Jason has a wealth of knowledge and is full of great business spartup ideas.  He can help you with consulting and advertising.  If you’re just wanting to tap into his knowledge, he also has been releasing regular podcasts for you to download and listen to at your leisure.Â
If you’re a member of the business world, or you just want to learn more about new ways of thinking, I recommend subscribing to Jason’s feed, to keep an eye on what he’s up to. Keep up the great work Jason!

- Shattered 4-inch PDA screen
- Severed blade from ceiling fan
- Broken chair from Zelda fishing
- Hole in mother-in-law’s china cabinet
