So if people are getting bored at your blog (like mine), then you can now give them a little bit of entertainment that they would be otherwise lacking browsing the blog! Just kidding…
Blogger has now add two more page elements that you can add to your blog called Newsreel and Video bar. The Newsreel basically searches Google news and using the RSS feed off customized searches (which you can create on your own also by looking at this post), it created an automcatically updating list of news items! Type in some keywords that interest you and the articles will start flowing!

As I was posting yesterday and uploaded some pictures, I noticed that Blogger suddenly was telling me how much space I have left on my account! It seems that the new feature has just been implemented and tells you exactly how much space is remaining in your account! Create a new post and when you click the Add Image button, you’ll see the amount listed at the bottom.

According to ZDNet, Yahoo will be offering unlimited storage for it’s email service starting in May! This will make Yahoo the first company to provide unlimited storage, but definetely not the last! I’m sure Google is not going to take this lightly and will try to annouce something that will blow Yahoo out of the water.
Up till now, Yahoo was offering the least amount of space, only 1GB, while Microsoft and Google were at 2 and 2.5GB, respectively. Even with that though, they are still the number one email provider in the world with 250 million subscribers.

Posted on March 23, 2007 - Filed Under Industry News | Leave a Comment
Let the Widget wars begin! Now you can choose from Microsoft Widgets, Google Widgets and Yahoo Widgets!!! Which all do the same thing!!! But I have to say that the Yahoo widgets look much better than Google Widgets and seem to run a little bit faster. However, if you’re using Vista, then the Yahoo widgets and the Windows widgets are pretty close.
The Yahoo widget also have more options so that you can change colors, transparency, etc, whereas I didn’t find very many choices in Google gadgets.

Well, Microsoft’s already working on the next version of Windows and it’s apparently being called Windows Seven internally within Microsoft. Thanks to some crazy employee in Denmark who keeps posting PowerPoint presentations on new things they are working on, it’s been learned that the next version will hopefully be out in 2009 and it’s focusing on improving the operating system in 4 major areas: search, mobility, security, and ease of use.
