I don’t know if you paid attention to it, but MSN Messenger has discreetly and quietly introduced Ad links in its message window. Quite smart and much better than the banners that ICQ are using. This Ad is for Coca-Cola Light.

Sidebar_hp_1

And here we go again. Yet another Google product. Google launched Sidebar with the following features:

  • Email (read Gmail in real time)
  • News headlines from Google News
  • Weather from up to 4 locations
  • Stock prices are real time, not 15 minutes delayed
  • RSS feeds from the Web are automatically added from Web pages you visit, and can also be added manually
  • Scratch Pad is a simple online text editor that allows you to add notes to yourself
  • Quick view is a list of frequently used Web pages and desktop files
  • Desktop search covers Web pages and hard drive files
  • Desktop applications are definately on the rise, just take a look at Yahoo’s aqusition of Konfabulator. The only missing feature in the sidebar is an instant messenger, but I have a very strong feeling that that has been cooking for a long time and is yet to come. Would definately make sense. I am sure we’ll see something similar soon on Yahoo, AIM and others. Thanks to Ouriel for the link.
