Today’s a pretty happening day when it comes to new features, new software patches, and new programs in the tech world!

If you’re a webmaster and you know a little bit about SEO, then you have more than likely created a Google Webmaster Central account and submitted an XML sitemap to the service for better crawling and indexing of your web pages. It’s also a great tool to analyze your robots.txt file, to view your search rankings for keywords, and to see the number of internal and external links to your site.

Adobe has recently opened up it’s much anticipated web-based Word Processing application called BuzzWord to the public and after playing around with it for a new minutes, I have to say it’s WAY better than Google Docs and other online word processors. Adobe BuzzWord uses some of the newest Adobe technology to create one of the most advanced online word processors ever made!

Update: After reading a comment left by the Microsoft Office team, I realized that my title is wrong! Office Online is another business unit that is completely separate from Office Live Workspace, which is part of the Live initiative! Sorry for the confusion.
Microsoft has released some screenshots of it’s new Office Live Workspace product that will be coming out very soon. Of course, everyone has been waiting for something from Microsoft ever since Google released Docs and Spreadsheets. The new Office Live Workspace will be an online companion to Microsoft Office. Here’s a quick list of the features from the Beta web site:
Amazon joins the MP3 download service arena with DRM-free digital music

Yesterday Amazon announced it’s new MP3 download service with 2.3 million songs ready to download and all without copy protection! Of course, you might be thinking "Well that’s great, but Wal-Mart has been doing the same thing and I already use E-Music, so why switch"? Good question! I asked myself the same thing and basically came to the conclusion that Amazon selling MP3’s might actually work because I also happy to buy a crap load of other stuff from them!
IBM offers alternative to MS Office with Lotus Symphony

Everyone thought that only Google was out to take on Microsoft’s dominant Office suite of products, but apparently IBM is now in the fight too! Yesterday they officially announced that the release of a new suite of free office productivity tools named Lotus Symphony. The suite consists of a word processor, spreadsheet application, and a presentation software. The new software is based on the Open Document Format (ODF), which is nice since it means you’re not locked into any kind of proprietary file format.
