Filed under: Utilities, web 2.0 Google, Zoho, 37signals and other companies have done an excellent job of demonstrating that some applications don't need to be desktop based. In fact, web-based calendars, office applications, and chat services offer many advantages over desktop versions like easy collaboration without the need for an Exchange server. But some applications really make a lot more sense on the desktop. Case in point: ShrinkFile. ShrinkFile is an online file compression and ...

A lot was made of this by the few left in the blogosphere who use the service to fill their status microblogging needs, particularly how interesting it was that a Twitter-ish bird was doing the downtime notice, and how insulting it was ...

Looking forward to spicing up your Internet Explorer 8 Beta 2 installation with social goodness? Me.dium, a self-described social software company, will be standing aside the likes of Facebook, Yahoo, and eBay for Microsoft’s newest browser launch today. Me.dium’s role is essentially to, among other things, deliver a “crowd-powered” discover-share mechanism first touted at Microsoft’s MIX08 conference earlier this year. Indeed, Me.dium is no freshman to IE8 or the broader Web browser market. Mashable’s Kristen ...

While its catalog of some 120,000+ artists remains more or less the same, the service has been tuned to provide users a more detailed view of the blues, country, folk, rock, ...

This morning I came across a very interesting new comparison website, Broadband Expert. The first thing I came across was the Broadband USB devices (mobile internet devices), which are affectionately know as dongles here in the UK. The site allows you to compare speed, download limits, monthly contracts, prices and even reviews from other users. However, one of the downsides is that it only compares 3 of the UK mobile companies, 3, T-Mobile and Vodafone. ...

As Stan noted last week, Muxtape has been voluntarily brought down due to concerns over the RIAA, but you shouldn’t let that stop you from traipsing down that same harrowing path yourself, particularly since there’s now an open source Web package you can run yourself to completely duplicate the functionality of MuxTape. Josh Catone over at SitePoint just found it, it’s aptly called OpenTape. It’s exactly a one-for-one translation of the original MuxTape with one ...
