Remember the milk has just launched a new gadget for the Google Calendar sidebar. With the previous version you had click a checkmark icon to bring up your tasks. However, now there is no need, the tasks are instantly displayed in the sidebar. The combination of Remember the milk and Google Calendar is certainly an appealing feature.

Web applications are becoming more and more popular, with entrepreneurs always looking to get their hands on a startup. Because of this, there are currently a wide range of web apps – from photo editing tools to task management. You may think there aren’t that many web applications currently available but it’s only when you begin naming them, that you realize the list is extensive. In light of this I have collected what I believe to be the best web applications to date. Due to the sheer number of web applications available I have most likely missed a few. If you have any to add to the list then I would love to hear your thoughts in the comment section.

Twitter have stopped asking ‘What are you doing?’ and are now asking ‘What’s Happening?’ instead. Twitter say this reflects the shift in usage of tweets from Personal updates about what you’re doing to updates from websites and companies as well.

It seems twitter clients have evolved faster than twitter itself! However, this evening twitter has made available the new feature of “retweeting”, which has been around for desktop clients for some time. This allows any user to post what another user has said, just by clicking on the retweet button. It also adds a new function to your timeline, where you can see where users retweets came from. This was a well needed addition to the twitter website, but was delayed due to the increase in amounts of tweets it would cause.

In the next chrome there will be an install extension for handing of RSS feeds, The extension “adds a button to the URL bar when a page has a feed that can be subscribed to”. When you click on the orange button, the extension previews the feed and it lets you subscribe using a feed reader. The extension is available now on the Chromium Developer Website.
