'Personally' google feed reader works and yahoo does not!
[Update 8th Sep 2005, 1835 hrs IST (GMT + 0530 hrs)]: Yahoo 360 works fine with the given URL ( http://vganesh.geekswithblo... ), and now I am able to get the feeds. Thanks Yahoo! Okay, currently i am using both the personalization option offered by google and yahoo. The first thing I noticed on both of them is the difference in ability to parse my feed in their feed aggregators. While google has no problem in parsing http://vganesh.geekswithblo... but yahoo 360 (Feeds (via...

Let's welcome the move
I tried posting a comment on the respective post, but the page just seemed to refresh ignoring the comment (I made sure the Image Code was correct; including preserving the case). So I am giving my feedback as a post. I would like to give a feedback on recent Tariq's post on Google Talk. Google has made a right move here. Instead of creating an altogether new IM protocol, they have considered and implemented an existing open platform server for the purpose and this only means even more extensibility....

Gmail 'Unread' label tip
I was recently going through a nice list of Gmail Tips maintained by Jim Barr, it has a lot of useful tips out of which tip 25 tells you how you can create a label named "Unread" which automatically displays all the mails which are not yet read by you (not just in inbox or just in one label, but in your full email account). But when I tried creating such a label gmail didn't allow me, so I tried creating a label named "Unread2" and then tried renaming it to "Unread"...

Google / Gmail gets IMed
Update [26th Aug 2005]: Google has given the configuration details for third party applications in their help center. Have fun. Happy happy!! Google has entered the instant messaging race as well. I downloaded the Google talk client and instantly logged in to my account, only to remember that I don’t have any of my friends online on this network yet. So, an alternate would be to download a Jabber-compatible client which also supports other IM networks like MSN and Yahoo! I choose GAIM, it is...

Gmail attachment filetype restriction :: Executables not allowed
Gmail seems to not allow files of type extension .exe, .dll and so on which are executable. This is a reasonable step towards cribbing virus, but what about users who want to trade .net libraries? Well, initially I thought we can put in the needed files in a zipped format and then send them. That seemed to be a failed effort as gmail seems to scan inside the zip file contents. Next I tried to encrypt the zip file and then send it as an attachment, it also failed as gmail was able to enumerate the...

GMail space dilemma? Get GMail Drive !
I was having a nagging feeling that I am not making use of the GMail's space that's allocated to me effectively. Thats when I came across GMail Drive which allows you to use your GMail space as a virtual online storage medium. The creator had mentioned that the program breaks whenever GMail makes modifications, but the when I checked with latest version it was working fine. Just to make sure, I had written to gmail support asking them if this particular software is allowed to be used along with their...

Google testimonials
Loads of impressive stories about how google helped people, read them at http://www.google.co.in/pre... Some samples: I just wanted to let you know that Google may well have saved my life. My sons and I were walking home from having eaten out. A half block from my house, I felt this pressure building in my chest. Immediately, I thought, 'heart attack' and ran through how I'd been feeling that the day (I had been nauseated). My first thought was, 'confirm suspicions,' and immediately,...
