ning - The next big thing

ning - where you can create social applications which are different ways in which you can collaborate with others to share, review, criticize and collaborate. This is the next big thing after social networks, blogs and wikis.

The new desktop?

Google has launched a new desktop search with the capability to search documents on any machine that the user has set up as a google desktop server. So peeking into your privacy became all the easier - if I use your machine for five minutes and install google desktop search and log in with my credentials and set up google desktop search to share its documents out to me, then I can go anywhere in the world and see all the documents on your machine ever. Not that I would ever do it, though. Trust me!
