I may be a little late to the game, but I just discovered that as an ooVoo user, I can have a video conference with anyone without making them install any software. A simple link will connect the call through the browser and connect us for a video call.
It seems to work well, although it doesn't let the caller know if I'm available or not before trying to connect.
Looks like Hulu is beta testing their recommendation engine.
Of the shows listed, I've watched them all during my life but not all on Hulu, so I guess I'd say its working okay. Of course, recommending a show that I haven't seen, but would enjoy, would be much better. At least it has its own RSS feed.
Google sync now keeps your iPhone calendar and contacts in sync with your Google account over then air. I was expecting some download and installation, but it seems they've just enabled accounts to use the Microsoft Exchange settings that are already on the iPhone. So far it seems to work flawlessly.
Two things to note:
1) If you are already syncing your iPhone with an Exchange server, you can't use this; the iPhone only allows one Exchange server to be configured at a time.
2) Doing this will erase all of the contacts and calendar entries you currently have on your iPhone, so make sure that you back them up and upload them to your Google account before doing this.
I received an email containing the following message:
Dear AT&T Yahoo! Briefcase user, We will officially close AT&T Yahoo! Briefcase on March 30, 2009. Until then, we are offering you the opportunity to download your files back to your computer. If you have not previously used Briefcase to store your files online, then no action is required on your part.
I had to think about this for a minute. I think I did set one of these up shortly after having Yahoo DSL installed many years ago - it came with the account. And at the time is was an interesting service. Had they continued to develop it I might not be the Mesh addict I am today.
As it stands, I've only got a handful of files there, dated 2005.
