imfeeds

In the past I have mentioned about Anothr which is an IM bot for RSS feeds.

Now there's another startup which is trying to achieve the same.

And no, I'm not going to try it. Am happy with google reader.

Scribefire

All the recent posts including the present one are courtesy Scribefire, the blog editor built into firefox through the Scribefire addon. Very convenient.

Need Gtalk Halks

Is there a Gmail Chat Javascript Shortcut/Bookmark which can be placed on the bookmark toolbar on firefox, and can be used to quickly message specific contacts in the Gmail Chat List. For those who use Gmail Chat and have it on all day and talk multiple times to a few specific
people in the day, its cumbersome to put their name in the Quick Contacts search field and then click on "chat" or "send offline chat" (for the times when u know they are invisible).

What I tried was using the javascipt open to open the popup link corresponding to an email address (the link that u get in the address bar when you popup a chat.

javascript:void(open('https://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=2&ik=7c2ea6ae3d&view=cw&fs=1&tf=1&ver=zpuf6AhpH1w&am=#xxxxx%40gmail.com'));

This works, but corrupts the gmail interface.

Any clues how this could be achieved?

UPDATE: I love google keyboard shortcuts. Use 'q' to focus on the contact search box, write in the name of the contact you wish to chat to, and navigate to either "Send Offline Chat" or "Chat" using arrow keys. Life is simpler now. Though I still wish there was a bookmarklet which allowed me to do the same.

gmail labs

I guess a lot of people would have been enabled with gmail labs by now. Not many useful features yet. However, possibilities are unlimited. Lets see what the geeks at google crunch out in their quota of the "20 percent" time.

Posting to blogger through imified

testing the imified interface to blogger.

Update: didn't like it, it inserts an extra new line at the start of the post which I dislike. Btw could try Anothr, its a cool rss bot for Google Talk etc. In the past, I had divided my feeds between Anothr and Google Talk.
