The Chrome

Have You experienced Google chrome ?
Chrome is a really cool very fast browser. Its javascript engine is very fast. It supports features from HTML 5. Notable one is the 'canvas'. Using canvas, it can create and act on elements replacing images. The js code can change its attributes which can create really cool animations with just only javascript which was once possible only with flash. If you have successfully installed chrome, check this site.. http://www.chromeexperiments.com/

This site consists of experiments with javascript which will require fast js engine like the one in chrome. It consists of variety of experiments which include games, animations, attractive frontend for popular sites like twitter etc., These experiments were created by designers and programmers from around the world using the latest open standards, including HTML5, Canvas, SVG, and more.

Wat's New online?

First,
Url shorteners

• http://bit.ly/
• http://tr.im/
• http://www.tiny.cc/

They allow you to convert long url's to short ones.Additionally bit.ly and tiny.cc allows u to have have custom names in the url like http://bit.ly/balki will point to this blog. Be first to grab urs. :)

Mailinator
This allows u to have a mail address without signup or password. The main use of this mail address is to use it as an temporary address required for signups for few unimportant sites. You can view all the mails at the mailinator.com site. Another good thing is that a duplicate mail address for everymail address is created which cant be used to read mails (write only address) but only to send. So this makes u own the address to some extent if u have some funny name for ur address that no one will be guessing or be willing to have.
Warning: There was a similar service called emailmenot of bugmenot.com which stopped working now. So i cannot reset my password for some sites which use bugmenot email as key.

At last, fun
Omegle

Omegle is a brand-new service for meeting new friends. When you use Omegle, we pick another user at random and let you have a one-on-one chat with each other. Chats are completely anonymous, although there is nothing to stop you from revealing personal details if you would like.

If you like Omegle, be sure to check out the Omegle blog!

Which Email??

Any frequent internet user usually has a couple of mail accounts.
The best suited for all is the Gmail but others have certain advantages over the gmail.
Yahoo mail
The Yahoo mail which was the best before gmail has its speciality of unlimited storage. It also has a outlook like user interface which allows browsing thru multiple msgs easy.The major disadvantage of this is the ads at the right. Also the loading time for yahoo mail is slooow. U can have your email addresses short like @ymail.com :) Its a good idea to have the same id as of gmail in ur ymail too. you're likely to get ur prefered id for ur ymail.
Hot mail
I dont find anything attractive with hotmail. Only thing is that many users still use MSN for chatting.
In mail
This is a new email. It has a good advantage of sending future mails. Yes, you can schedule when to send ur mail. Also u can browse ur yahoo and gmails in the In mail id itself. Other thing is that ur email address can be very small like my new address is 2408@in.com , Guess u can have even 4 digit ids which makes the email addresses very small.
Find anyother mails better??? post on comments :)

Gmail Labs

Google recently launched Lab Edition of its famous Gmail service with 13 new features. You can selectively enable these features on your account by going to Gmail Settings >> Labs tabs. Most of these feature are highly innovative and described in brief below…

#1. Quick Links

Adds a box to the left column that gives you 1-click access to any bookmarkable URL in Gmail. You can use it for saving frequent searches, important individual messages, and more.

#2. Superstars

Adds additional star icons. After enabling this feature, you can choose which icons you wish to use in the "General" Settings page.

#3. Pictures in chat

See your friends’ profile pictures when you chat with them. This is similar to picture shown in Google Talk desktop client.

#4. Fixed width font

Adds an option to the reply drop-down menu that lets you view a message in fixed width font. Geeks will love this I guess!

#5. Custom keyboard shortcuts

Lets you customize keyboard shortcut mappings. Adds a new Settings tab from which you can remap keys to various actions.

#6. Mouse gestures

Use your mouse to navigate with gestures. Hold right-click and move the mouse left to go to a previous conversation, move it right to go to the next conversation, and move up to go back to the inbox view. Works best on Windows.

#7. Signature tweaks

Places your signature before the quoted text in a reply, and removes the "–" line that appears before signatures. Can’t use this and the "Random signature" Labs feature at the same time.

#8. Random signature

Rotates among random quotations for your email signature. Can’t use this and the "Signature tweaks" Labs feature at the same time.

#9. Custom date formats

Adds options to the general settings page allowing the date and time format to be changed independent of language. For example, you can use a 24-hour clock (14:57) or show dates with the day first (31/12/07).

#10. Muzzle

Conserves screen real estate by hiding your friends’ status messages. I wanted this personally from long time as status messages create lots of scrolling work.

#11. Old Snakey

Kick it old school with Old Snakey! Enable keyboard shortcuts and hit ‘&’ from the main page to play a game of snake.

#12. Email Addict

Lets you take a break from email and chat by blocking the screen for fifteen minutes and making you invisible in chat.

#13. Hide Unread Counts

Hides the unread counts for inbox, labels, etc. This will surely loved by lazy people who just don’t manage their mailbox and don’t care about unread mails!

A sweet warning…

Beta and lab edition releases are under-development releases. These may contains bugs, may break anytime and some of the features may change without notice. if anything goes wrong, use following URL to go back to stable version of Gmail. Better bookmark it…
