Talkster is one of those services that will cross the revolutionary threshold for many. With a clientless web-based platform, nearly any device can use the service. That is something that makes a jump in usability for many.

I agree with Om on this, as spam keeps growing in proportion to emails sent, we need a new way to send email.
A new mechanism to verify the sender, to quickly blacklist and abolish spam and other erroneous messages needs to be created and implemented. The existing email protocols don’t have anything within the messaging sending/receiving structure to validate a message.
Who’s up for the challenge!?!

Wow, great news for those of you who have embraced the modern world of online applications and document storage!
Zoho has interoperability with Microsoft Office via a downloadable plugin that allows Office users to save Word & Excel documents directly to their Zoho account. This functionality helps blur the line between remotely hosted and local applications.
“People are asking for this,†Vegesna said. “Currently they have to go to Zoho.com, login, and upload documents. We have them doing this an average of five times per day. This will let them go straight to Zoho without having to go to Zoho.com, upload, etc.â€
Zoho is also opening its API’s so that online storage providers could tap into the Zoho engine and provide more seamless integration of storage options.
I’ve been using Zoho (and Google Docs & Spreadsheets) for most of 2006. There are definite differences between the offerings, but Zoho has made the most progress towards an integrated feature-rich office suite. By offering the ability to upload/download documents directly to your Zoho account – their product becomes even more useful and productive.
This new feature is compatible with Office 2000, 2003, and 2007 by the way.

If you’ve been interested in how well Feedburner handles serving feeds, you may be interested in Aaron Brazell’s review.
His perspective in this review, is from the point of view of a blog network – b5media – which pumps several dozen feeds through the service. Because of the number and variety of feeds, the needs are unique, there are some items on his “wish list” that just don’t apply to individual bloggers.
Goods stuff Aaron!

Has anyone else noticed an increase in the amount of SPAM that doesn’t get filtered out by GMail’s junk email filters? It seems to be getting worse – of course not to the extent of an unprotected POP3 account, but it is noticeable.

Just curious.
