Official Google Blog: RT @google: Tweets and updates and search, oh my!

That way, the next time you search for something that can be aided by a real-time observation, say, snow conditions at your favorite ski resort, you'll find tweets from other users who are there and sharing the latest and greatest information.

As we move into the next incarnation of search:

"At Google, our goal is to create the most comprehensive, relevant and fast search in the world. In the past few years, an entirely new type of data has emerged — real-time updates like those on Twitter have appeared not only as a way for people to communicate their thoughts and feelings, but also as an interesting source of data about what is happening right now in regard to a particular topic."

Happy Google-ing :)

The Minimalist Gmail Firefox Extension

This simple extension creates a barely-noticeable label in the top right corner that you click on to give you options to hide:

  • The entire Gmail header, including all the links across the top, the Gmail logo, the search box, and other clutter at the top.
  • The footer, which is a bunch of small links across the bottom of Gmail.
  • All the ads that show up to the right of your email message — hiding ads gives wider screen space to your messages.
  • Non-essential things in your sidebar, including the chat box and invite box. If you have other gadgets in your sidebar enabled, you can disable them in Gmail’s settings.
  • Almost everything in the Inbox view, including the lines separating messages, buttons along the bottom, most buttons and links across the top.

You decide which elements to hide, but if you check all the options, the result is a very satisfying uncluttered Gmail. The best email program just got beautiful.

Thanks Leo and Matthew.... :)

Living in Fullness: The Anti-Fast Food Diet - via @Zen_Habits

“When you eat with awareness, you find that there is more space, more beauty. You begin to watch yourself, to see yourself, and you notice how clumsy you are or how accurate you are. … So when you make an effort to eat mindfully…, you find that life is worth much more than you had expected.” - Chogyam Trungpa

Here is one of the most powerful ways to live a better life, and one of the most challenging:

"When drinking tea, just drink tea. When eating, just eat. Be fully present. Don’t read a book or surf the net or drive or work or anything else but eat and drink."

I've been doing this a an occasional practice for some years. I think i learned it from Thich Nhat Hanh - also quoted at the full article (see above link to continue...)

The Twitter vs. Facebook Showdown: An Infusion of Another $100 Million Is Seen for Twitter - NYTimes.com

Twitter’s newly lined pockets may have the biggest impact on its chief rival, Facebook. Executives from the two companies often claim that their services do not quite overlap and can peacefully coexist. But both firms are essentially on the same mission: to allow people to share with friends and fans what they are doing now, in real life and on the Web.

Despite their protestations, the companies appear, especially recently, to be taking swipes at each other. Last week, when Facebook announced that it had signed up its 300 millionth member and that its finances were strengthening, executives used the occasion to play down any threat posed by Twitter. Chamath Palihapitiya, a Facebook vice president, told the technology blog VentureBeat that Twitter was now in “the rearview mirror.”

Even more pointedly, earlier this year Facebook redesigned the stream of updates from friends that each user sees to be more of a constant flow of information, similar to Twitter. And earlier this month, Facebook began allowing users to “tag” messages about particular friends with the @ symbol, a familiar convention on Twitter.

For its part, Twitter has previewed a new way to allow people to see when other Twitter users have “retweeted” or relayed their messages. The feature looks eerily similar to the display of friends who have commented on, or indicated that they liked, an update on Facebook.

Twitter’s ascension has clearly clouded Facebook’s aspirations to dominate the market for sharing over the Web, said Keith Rabois, an Internet entrepreneur and vice president of strategy at Slide, a Web social entertainment firm.

“Twitter is so likely to be successful at this point, it is almost impossible to envision a way in which Facebook can truly monopolize online content-sharing,” he said.

Who will win... twitter or FB>>>? heheeheheeee

From up here at the top of mt Ashland, the "social media" world feels rather limited (that's Mt. Shasta)

 

It's nice to take the opportunity to look at things from a different vantage point once in a while...

[i sent this from on top of the mountain, but my phone's gmail app was holding up the pics until i did a manual refresh - thus the burst of random phone pics... :) ]
