If you don’t really have use for elaborate start pages like Netvibes, but you need more than the simple home page option in browsers, you could take a look at SpeedyMarks, a service probably inspired by the Opera speed dial function and the iPhone interface. You simply add your favorite pages and it lists them [...]
Google document uploader
Google has just release a document list uploader to help you upload your stuff in large batches, and this is one smart move, since I had some frustration a while back because of this.

Listas – Lists from Microsoft
It came as a bit of a surprise to me that Microsoft is working on a list creation program, much like the web 2.0 list apps we can see around the web. I took a quick look, but since it’s only a tech preview, it’s quite basic, and only has bare-bone features. This shouldn’t be [...]
WinLibre, your open source software library
