Google Reader: Back to the future: two years of Google Chrome

Thu, 02 Sep 2010 14:37:54 GMT

Watching the 1985 classic Back to the Future last night, I was struck by how much things can change with time. The main character Marty McFly travels 30 years back in time, only to find that his house hadn’t been built yet, skateboards hadn’t been invented and nobody had ever heard rock ‘n roll.Looking back today on Chrome’s second anniversary, it’s amazing to see how much has changed in just a short time. In August 2008, JavaScript was 10 times slower, HTML5 support wasn’t yet an [...]

Usually I'm getting new Google features right before bedtime, which obviously keeps me stay away from bed quite regularly. Not this time – with the new Priority Inbox – it seems.

Last week, we launched Google Voice in Gmail to let you make calls right from your computer. The uptake has been amazing and 10,000,000 calls later, we wanted to offer some tips and tricks on how you, as a loyal Google Voice user, can unlock additional features when you setup Gmail to receive calls with your Google Voice number. If you haven’t already hooked it up, go to Google Voice, click on settings and check the box next to Google Chat in your list of forwarding phones.Now, you’ll be [...]

Google Reader: Email overload? Try Priority Inbox

Tue, 31 Aug 2010 09:25:55 GMT

Posted by Doug Aberdeen, Software EngineerPeople tell us all the time that they’re getting more and more mail and often feel overwhelmed by it all. We know what you mean—here at Google we run on email. Our inboxes are slammed with hundreds, sometimes thousands of messages a day—mail from colleagues, from lists, about appointments and automated mail that’s often not important. It’s time-consuming to figure out what needs to be read and what needs a reply. Today, we’re happy to [...]

From my Google Reader Trends: "From your 331 subscriptions, over the last 30 days you read 9,475 items, clicked 432 items, starred 0 items, shared 8 items, and emailed 0 items. Since May 27, 2010 you have read a total of 29,526 items."

Unfortunately that doesn't take into account my use of Reader in my Google Account, before I changed to Full Accounts by end of May.

Google Reader: Fullscreen and more!

Mon, 30 Aug 2010 21:52:33 GMT

As Google Reader is all about reading, we thought we should give our users a chance to maximize their screen space whenever possible... thus fullscreen mode was born. You can toggle the fullscreen mode through the 'f' key. Additionally, you can use 'shift + u' to show and hide the navigation panel so you can easily change what you're reading without leaving fullscreen mode. Eagle-eyed viewers might have also noticed we've added a new category to the trends page: clicked trends - now you can [...]

If it stays as cool as of now (12 °C here in Hamburg) I will ask my landlord to pull up the heating. Damn, it's August ‒ not January.

Now, I just need Google Voice activated for Germany, have a number connected to my notebook and get rid of all other phone numbers...
