I just finished reading about the Google Vulnerability which was present a few weeks go (but subsequently fixed). Basically, an unscrupulous website could add a filter to your Gmail email account - forwarding important emails out of your account and into the hands of bad guys.
Check your filters closely for any filters that may forward emails to another account, and take care to protect yourself from unknown websites!
As what I’ve deemed a gesture of goodwill in the holiday season, Gmail has rolled out quite a few new features in the past few weeks. If anything, these small gifts of functionality and integration serve to remind us that Gmail is popular for a reason - they actually listen to the users and add functions we love, want and need!
Gmail chat now offers the option to sign in to your AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) account to chat with your AIM buddies from Gmail! Chatting with your AIM buddies is easy - just click on a name in your chat list, and start typing. Read more at About AIM in Gmail.
Google Reader has just started offering “Top Recommendations” on its homepage. This section lists feeds that you might be interested in, but aren’t subscribed to yet.
After clicking “View all”, you can see the entire list that has been computer generated for you thanks to an algorithm that aggregates your Google Reader subscriptions, Google Search history and location.
Information included for each feed include the estimated number of subscribers and average number of posts per week.
To the right is a screenshot of the box that is now located on the Google Reader homepage in the upper right hand corner.
I’ve had a really hard time composing this post, mainly because I’ve debated about who I should be mad at - if anyone; those who gave me advice that seems to have backfired, those who introduced me to PayPerPost and other paid blogging schemes or myself, for listening to them.
Then, I got sick and have spent the entire weekend in bed, which gave me plenty of time to think about what happened and what to do next with my blog.
There’s only one reason that I think contributed to my drop in PageRank:
Online Office programs, like Google Documents, require an Internet connection , which means if you do not have an internet connection available, you will not be able to view, edit or even create your documents, spreadsheets and presentations stored online.
Great and easy to use online word processor in the Zoho Office suite is now available for both online and offline use through Google Gears!
To use Zoho Writer in offline mode, just install Google Gears and restart your web browser. (Google Gears has versions for Internet Explorer and Firefox.)
You can now share searches with a friend or bookmark them with the new version of Gmail.
