Friday, February 12th, 2010

I just nominated Columbia, Missouri, for Google's fiber optic trial.  Anyone with home internet access can ask Google to set it up where you live too.

Tuesday, July 14th, 2009

Google Lively

Tuesday, July 29th, 2008

So Google Lively -- a virtual, web-based environment, similar to Second Life -- nearly passed me by.  I heard of it this morning from a colleague and surprisingly not from my Google Reader in which I subscribe to many feeds that cover tech news. Looks like it was launched July 8, ...
