Have you used Microsoft Outlook for your company email that receives like few hundred each day? We are suppose to get third party spam filters and they load so slowly that archive need to be made every few weeks. This is one of the reason for most small company to switch their company email to Google Mail with their domain because of the spam filters, clearer view and faster search features.

However, this may be your chance to switch back to Microsoft outlook with this new outlook plugin, Xobni. It look very neat and fit nicely into your outlook if you were using the vertical view.

It provides:-

• Faster Search
• Email Analytics
• Threaded conversations
• Phone Extract
• Quick Attachment Discovery
• Scheduling your task
• Better Navigation by navigating through people

Here is a nice video of how Xobni works.

There is even a video of Mr Gates promoting it

I got dropbox invites a while ago and have been using it to share files between my home desktop, notebook and office desktop PC. It is sometimes troublesome to get files transfer here and there. Dropbox (or GetDropBox.com) provides the same experience as sharing files between local network.

It basically look and feel exactly like your local PC. Best things is that it works with Vista and Windows XP. You can even access the file properties, copy, paste, or edit the file directly from the Dropbox without having to copy them to your computer first.

After editing, you can simply access anywhere with any computer that have internet access and web browser that complies to dropbox requirements..

I have shared my RiceBlogger theme in my Dropbox account. You can download it here.

There is some invitest to spare, if you need one to try it out, leave me a comment here.

Remember, while stock last.

Online Name Card / Business Card is always good because it is basically free and its carry your identity. Unlike the conventional name card, online business card does not require printing and you could pass them through different geographical region quickly and easily by email, Instant Messenging, Forums and all sorts of methods.

MeeID have a very simple interface and the Online ID looks neat. Although I hate that the sponsor link are too near to our identity, that may be mistaken by others.

Everyone have been talking about the good things about Google new browser, Chrome since its release on Wednesday and it is indeed a pretty fast browser. Try logging onto your hotmail account with the new Google Chrome Browser and you will know what I mean. Microsoft’s Hotmail website will popup with a notice that our browser you need to “Upgrade your browser”.

So far there is no problem with Gmail and Yahoo Mail.

This is what I see when I login into my hotmail account.

Just received an email from Jaiku. It has not been long since my last check on Jaiku but their server was down. I even remember seeing it being down for the whole weekend. Hopefully this moved to Google Datacenter will actually improve Jaiku uptime.

Google have acquire Jaiku for very very long and the only thing they did was making it invite only. This made the slowdown of Jaiku growth. While other microblogging platform like Twitter, Pownce, and not to mention Plurk is growing. Hopefully this time Google is really trying to do some difference and not waste their investor money.

I believe that there is no limit on Jaiku Invites, if you need one, just drop me a comment.
