Google Reader: Mozilla Add-Ons Hit One Billion Downloads

Mozilla Won the Market and no one could replace it in near future. Check out eQuake Alert plugin

In other Mozilla news, Firefox and other Mozilla products hit a major milestone today with the one billionth download of add-on software for the browser. That feat took three and half years.

Many of those downloads are never used more than once or twice, of course. But there is no doubt about it that Firefox is major software platform. Just look at StumbleUpon, it was built on top of Firefox.

What is atop the current list of most popular add-ons? Adblock Plus, followed by a bunch of download tools. And let’s not forget Greesemonkey at No. 9, which is it’s own Web development platform.

Another Google Labs Experiment that failed. But this was not just any other experiment and though I don't know many people who actually used Lively, fom what I had seen Lively was a good start! Will be sad to see the project die.

t has been a tough decision, but we want to ensure that we prioritize our resources and focus more on our core search, ads and apps business. Lively.com will be discontinued at the end of December, and everyone who has worked on the project will then move on to other teams.

Official Google Blog: Lively no more

On a second thought, Google, why let Lively die??? Open Source it! Google can do it and some organization can always take up its ownership. May be put it in apache incubator or give it Mozilla... It has got lot of interesting things in the code there!

Google Reader: Gmail Rolls Out Themes

Wed, 19 Nov 2008 23:25:12 GMT

A couple of months ago it was mentioned here that Google’s web mail client Gmail might get themes, like a black-and-green terminal view, and the waiting time seems to be over soon – Google announced they’ve started to roll out this feature. While I don’t see it in my Gmail yet (the screenshots in this post are courtesy of Andris and Google), it’s supposed to be added to a Themes tab in your settings. Note some themes are dynamic and may change throughout different times of the day. “We’ve also done a minor facelift to Gmail’s default look,” Google adds.

LetMeGoogleThatForYou.com allows you to enter any search query, then grab the resulting permalink to share it with someone else. For instance, if someone in a forum would ask “What does ’AFAIK’ stand for?”, you could (somewhat impolitely) point them to this search, which would then interactively perform a Google search for “afaik” for the visitor. (Kind of the next version of this even more impolite site... and nope, neither site is an official Google site...)

Google Reader: Etherpad Shows Google Docs How It’s Done

Wed, 19 Nov 2008 14:00:05 GMT

A team of ex-Googlers, with backing from Y Combinator, the Friendfeed founders and others, have created what might be both the ugliest and most useful group productivity app we’ve seen. Etherpad, a new product from Appjet, launches this morning, and you must try it out.

It’s comparable to Google Docs or a wiki, but it’s far more useful. You start off by creating a new workspace. You type basic text on numbered lines at will. Then invite someone else in and have them type as well. Each user’s edits are highlighted a different color. Changes are made in absolute real time, something even Google hasn’t been able to do (Google docs update every fifteen seconds).

Users can also chat in the sidebar, save versions and make a few tweaks to the settings like removing line numbers. One great feature optionally highlights Javascript syntax (making this a great way to write code collaboratively) And that’s it for now. There is very little bling to the site at this point.

In the future, co-founder Aaron Iba says that they’ll have features for exporting documents into text files, Word format, etc. Eventually they’ll offer businesses premium features for a fee, like controlled access, private URLs, etc. They’ll even offer non-hosted version that companies can install on their own servers for higher security.

This instantly became a must-use application for me. It makes phone calls a lot more productive - just open up a workspace and take notes together, in real time.

A screencast is here.

Like Yammer (which spun out of Geni), Etherpad wasn’t the core focus on the company (see our previous coverage of Appjet here and here). Iba says the team needed a tool like Etherpad and just created it for internal use. Now they’re unleashing it on the rest of us, which is quite nice of them.

Google Reader: Sister Abhaya Murder Case - Three Arrested

Wed, 19 Nov 2008 13:52:09 GMT

Finally after 16 years of corrupt investigation CBI makes 3 arrests in the murder case of sister Abhaya. The arrested people are

Fr Thomas M Kottur
Sister Sephy
Fr Jose Puthrukka

Two priests and a nun are arrested and still the Kottayam Diocese says says they are innocent. If the case was solved 16 years ago, Christians could have saved a lot of public defamation. Its really disgusting to see the Church still trying to save the culprits.

The case do not end here. There are many others who obstructed justice, and helped the culprits. All should be caught and punished, even if that includes a Bishop.

Abhayas Mother said on TV today that all culprits be brutally killed exactly the same way her daughter was killed. I also feel the same.

Google Reader: Google’s SMS search service in India

Wed, 19 Nov 2008 03:56:40 GMT

Google's Ad in ToI

Google’s SMS search has been around for quite sometime (was launched a year back),and it seems Google is now getting aggressive in promoting SMS search (asklaila Airtel deal served as a wake-up call?) - I believe, this is the first time, Google has launched a print campaign in India to promote it’s services.

The SMS search (send your queries to 9-77-33-00000) is available across all the operators, is charged the standard SMS price (no premium charges, unlike Indiatimes and others); and integrates local queries as well as different data types like weather/railways pnr search/cricket etc.

This is also a head-on competition with Indiatimes and other content portal’s sms subscription/alert service

In the past, cricket scores and astrology updates on SMS brought a smile to a lot of us until seeing the premium charges associated with short code services. And this was after we had to remember a complicated set of prefixes for different types of information.
Now send all your queries to 9-77-33-00000 without paying any premium charges! SMS Search offers an easy-to-use way to type in free-form searches. No longer will your questions require complicated prefixes or a tight syntax. - blog

For a service like this,mass adoption is a big challenge (no matter which brand you are) - and that’s why Google is resorting to traditional way of marketing (they even have hoardings in MG Road, Bangalore).

Will it fly?
