Mozdev Homepage

Ever checked the Mozdev website. I think the website design where some of the most creative web developers, some of the very best programmer work can do much much better. This looks like something that was designed over a few hours, by a few of their kids. Ok, maybe I am being a bit harsh here but I am sure they can improve on it and make it a lot more web 2.0 compliant. They can take a leaf of Flock’s book

Google Office

Google is all set to organise its own very online office. The recent G-Drive concept, Google Calander screenshot and Google purchasing Writely is good enough evidence. Ever since the arrival of GMail I have been a big fan of Google and expect high things from them. Because unlike MS their ad base is pretty good, it doesnt intrude too much in my life and it’s products make my life more convinient. There has been too much fuss made about privacy, I think at times its a bit overblown.

I just can’t wait for the planned upgades in GTalk, after that I hope I’d never have to use  MS products again. I am alreadt testing Ubuntu on my machine.

Instant Messengers, Nothing Great on Windows

Nothing can beat a Mac and its iChat in terms of look. Its reliable fast and stable. In terms of popularity nothing comes close to Windows MSN Messenger. However its not the best prduct around, its more like a clunky and bulky but then its very popular. One more thing they are developing a new version and to be honest its just minor upgrades in UI. What really annoys me the level of innovation at MS. They seriously need to hire some talent.

Yahoo messenger is quite popular and it has some of the best feratures out there. However, it seriously lacks in UI department and it gives that primitive feel of 1990’s. The best option out there is Trillian. It uses a cross platform multiuser channel which uses the standard XMPP protocol developed by Jabber. I have had a good experience using Trillian and Pandium. They both provide very good, clean and simple UI.
