The title is not entirely accurate. What Google has introduced is a way for you to get the times of sunset and sunrise wherever you live.

GPS devices keep a record of the routes you take around town. Social networking services alert friends when you’re nearby. But there’s no clear standard for how law enforcement agencies should get access to these records that track consumers’ every move. The topic will be examined in a hearing Thursday as lawmakers begin the process of rewriting the laws that govern the sharing of electronic communications. Large Internet companies such as Google, Facebook and MySpace have teams that do nothing but respond to data requests from law enforcement. Smaller companies th...

This is an interesting article Jeff Bertolucci, PC World discussing the future of browsers. My take is that there is definitely a shift already with devices like the iPad where you click on apps more than opening the native Safari browser. How will your interaction with the web be in a few years. Do you develop a app or a web page? http://bit.ly/c7ktY2 Posted via web from shashib's posterous

You are now part of the social networks. You connect with long lost buddies on Facebook. You reveal harmless facts. How does that affect you ? Interesting take. http://bit.ly/aSAXPg Posted via web from shashib's posterous

This is good news. The iPad is easy to use and I am glad that the Oklahoma State University is taking a very positive step with this pilot initiative. How are you using an iPad? or rather are you using computers in the classroom. http://bit.ly/dohxo6 Posted via web from shashib's posterous

On one hand you see more free applications for free. On the other you see reduction in unlimited services - example AT&T stopping its unlimited data service and Comcast controlling the upload speed. Technologists are waking up to the benefits of minimalism, http://bit.ly/9jv7ub .

I think the best advice a small business can get to use social media is to see if they can use these tools as part of an integration to their marketing and not in isolation. What do you think after reading this article? http://bit.ly/cq95jw Posted via web from shashib's posterous

Thank god I did not charge for predicting the fortunes of people I know :) How do you become a "self-described gypsy" . Also " The court didn't vouch for the reliability of fortunetellers but said that they have the right to share insights they glean from tarot cards, tea leaves or the stars.
