It’s always frustrated me when clicking a “mailto” link in a browser, and it tries to open Outlook.  I use GMail for all my email.  Turns out that since Firefox 3.0, there is a fix.

I’m an unabashed GMail (Google Mail) fan.  It’s fast, searches work great, and I love tags vs. folders.   It simply works great.  And it’s easy to manage multiple email addresses from one spot.   If you’ve got an email address that you want to keep, you can manage nearly any email address through Google.

And Google has [...]

I love Gmail and many other google products. My wife calls me, probably accurately, a Google fanboy. But I’ve always felt that Google Calendar could be better integrated into Gmail. You’ve been able to add a puny side bar for a while, but I wanted more. Using the experimental Firefox add-on [...]

Sometimes I feel like a shill for Google.   But they just keep introducing cool, free tools.  This isn’t really anything that will increase productivity, and certainly isn’t a new tool, but for those of us that spend a lot of time in Gmail, a little eye candy to freshen up the look is nice.   Google [...]

They define the value of the brand as “Brand Value is the financial value of a brand, defined as the sum of all earnings that [...]

Here’s another tool I’ve been using for awhile. As often as I use it, I haven’t blogged about it before. Over at Google Operating System they noted that Google has rolled out some new features for google notebook. But first, what is Notebook? It’s exactly what it sounds like. As you cruise the [...]

Google has finally released support for syncing to your desktop calendar. This could be a very cool tool for keeping multiple calendars on multiple computers synced. Unfortunately, they don’t yet support syncing multiple calendars on multiple computers, which for me greatly limits the usefulness of this. But if you’re stuck using Outlook, [...]
