Social media tools are some of the latest crazes these days. We happen to be huge fans of a ton of them here on ReadWriteWeb. Yet the biggest problem with most social media tools is that they aren't for everyone. There's a constant debate on how early adopters can persuade more mainstream users to try these tools out. We might have the most flexible social media tool available for any user: Yoono! Widgets Galore Yoono ...

Google's Picasa team released a number of major updates to both its desktop photo managing application Picasa and its online photo gallery this week. On Tuesday, we already reported about the addition of face recognition to the Picasa web albums, but Google also added Creative Comments licenses and email uploads, while the desktop application now lets you create collages, retouch photos, add text to your images, and upload your videos to YouTube.

Thanks to successful projects like Wikipedia or Wikitravel, wikis have quickly become a standard tool on the Internet, but in academia, the anonymity often associated with publishing in wikis is a key factor that works against them. Tracking down the exact history of changes in a wiki entry can be a convoluted process, yet being able to exactly attribute a certain statement to one writer is at the heart of the academic enterprise. Mememoir aims ...

Browsing the web is typically a very solitary activity, even if the Web 2.0 revolution has given us easy tools like FriendFeed or SocialMedian to share our online activities. However, a different breed of services like Browzmi or the Y Combinator funded Socialbrowse are trying to make the actual browsing experience more social by displaying your friends' actions right in the browser.

The demise of Muxtape, the popular mixtape service, clearly left a void on the Internet that a number of new companies are now trying to fill. Most clones, from 8tracks to the self-hosted OpenTape, have followed the Muxtape model very closely. Tumbltape, which launched today, takes a slightly different route by using the Tumblr for storing and posting the actual MP3 files. While Tumbltape has some limitations, it is a great way for Tumblr users ...

它来自江湖 文：约翰·席拉库萨 原载 Ars Technica，原文在此 今天下午我一直在推谷歌新出的浏览器 Chrome。谷歌之前放出了一部很精彩的漫画，用以解释 Chrome 背后的技术理念和开发动机，看过之后我预料他们做出来的东西一定会很有意思。实际的产品没有让我失望。 此刻我之所以兴奋，主要不是因为这个产品本身，而是因为其背后的方法理念。谷歌的初衷不只是要改进现有的网页浏览器——他们是想从最基本的原则开始重构网页浏览器。 之前的两个成功的浏览器在用户介面上都采取了极简主义态度。和更早的产品比，它们主要是在做减法而非加法。Firefox 是带着一切从简的原则从体态臃肿、日益复杂的 Mozilla 浏览器的残骸中浴火重生的。Safari 的用户介面则比 Firefox 更加苗条优雅。这两款浏览器在从 1.0 向 3.0 过渡时，不但在每个新版本中实现了不少改进，同时也都尽力保持了身材。 就后台而言，两个项目都很成功。无论是对网页标准的支持还是转译页面的速度，Gecko 和 WebKit 这两个转译引擎都是一等一的高手。WebKit 的成功更是令它获得了谷歌的青睐，将其用在了 Chrome 当中。 但就用户介面而言，Firefox 和 Safari 一直都在挣扎：如何平衡不断添加新功能的欲望和对简约性的追求——毕竟后者正是它们的成功秘诀之一。随着版本号一步步跳进，这种压力是在所难免的。这一问题究竟应该如何面对？ Chrome 告诉我们：在谷歌看来，Safari 和 Firefox 的减法做得还不够。举例来说，Safari 的书签菜单里没有分隔符，这在刚推出时是十分大胆的一则减法。说它大胆，是因为这个设计自万维网肇始之初就存在于每一款流行的浏览器中，少了它的浏览器给许多人带来了困扰——包括我。 谷歌在设计 Chrome 时的想法不同。他们并非简单地将现有的浏览器拿来然后去除功能，而是把一切推倒重来。谁说一定要菜单分隔符，谁说一定要书签菜单：谁说一定要菜单栏来着？从零开始。先入不为主。发现自己需要什么功能才往里面加，而且这个功能一定要服从于一个完美的整体设计理念（留待下文详述）。 这就是 Chrome 最令人兴奋的地方：不是因为谷歌新加的某几个功能，不是用户介面上那些一望可知的部分——比如标签页置顶。所有这些都尚有待市场来测试、检验。Chrome 最令人兴奋的地方，是它的设计理念，它背后的哲学，它展现出来的那种毫无顾忌的胆识……那是一种美。 正因如此，今天早些时候我才说 Chrome 是在「催给 Safari 做介面的那些人起床」。倒不是说 Chrome 有某个功能特别棒，或是它的所有功能加在一起就能把 Safari 打得体无完肤。关键在于，终于有苹果之外的公司在介面领域占了一次先机。Chrome 的诞生让 Safari 的介面显得保守，让苹果显得谨小慎微。而从长远角度来说，所谓创新，主要关乎你做了多少次大胆的决定，而非这些决定本身的成败。 如果你了解了谷歌的 Chrome 介面设计背后的动机，所有这些就更值得竞争对手担忧了。这一动机不但在谷歌的用户体验文档里说得很清楚，甚至 Chrome 这个名字本身也作了暗示。【译注一】 从长远角度看，我们把 Chrome 当作万维网的一个带标签页的窗口管理器或是 shell，而不是一个浏览器程序。正如苹果和微软会尽量避免在其操作系统的应用程序的标准化窗框上添加太多东西一样，我们也会尽量避免往 Chrome 的介面中添加太多。 没错，就是它，微软的最大噩梦已经到来。谷歌已经受够了网页浏览器这个小江湖，受够了将自己所有的应用程序挤在一个单一的、往往还不太靠谱的容器里。「真正的」应用程序没必要受这种苦。它们的命运由自己把握。它们的边框（chrome）优雅而时尚。它们不只是寄居在其他应用程序中的内容。它们是主角，是一等公民。 这才是谷歌想做的产品，而它已经意识到，要实现这一理想——要逃离浏览器这个江湖——只有一条出路：自己设计浏览器。作出这个决定想必并不容易，前方的道路也不会平坦。但无论最终结果如何，你都得为谷歌的勇气喝彩。加油，谷歌，给丫们点颜色瞧瞧。（翻译：Lawrence Li） －－－ 译注一：Chrome 在软件领域指软件窗口的边框以及各种功能栏。我第一次看到 Chrome ...

This is interesting in light of the aggregate nature of modern identity - you are all these little perspectives of yourself, like a cubist reinterpretation of the self. But somewhere there must be unification, and this is an interesting and minimalist idea of how it might be accomplished.

While the early release of the Chrome comic might have changed the way Google went about launching its new browser, it definitely did not hurt Chrome's early success. According to data from Net Applications, Chrome captured more than 1% of the browser market within its first day of release. Since then, it has been growing steadily and is now at around 1.5%, as both technology blogs and mainstream publications have written about it almost nonstop ...
