| | Thu, 08 May 2008 16:53:04 +0000 | | Postini, a company acquired by Google, is now offering enterprise web security. All traffic is routed through Google, and they take care of making sure traffic meets your corporate policies.

| | Tue, 06 May 2008 14:55:48 +0000 | | Ok, Twitter and Google Reader aren’t exactly apples to apples, but the new “Notes” feature in Google Reader feels a lot like posting status updates in Twitter. When you type a note, it’s automatically shared with all your friends unless you unshare, and it appears almost as a real article in the reading list [...] | |

| | Thu, 01 May 2008 04:52:07 +0000 | | Google has tackled visualization of Earth, and more recently the sky, by offering up free imagery to the public with Google Earth and Google Maps.

Chinese people are very upset with the French due to an attack on a wheelchair bound Olympic torch carrier. The act caused many Chinese people to call for a boycott on [...] | |
