This is almost how I use "like" on FF now, but I have it automated. Every day I have a feed that pulls my daily posts and comments/likes into Evernote. Then if I ever need to remember that thing I liked I can just look it up in Evernote search. Easier than trying to find it again on FF, especially with the 8-page limit. - Lindsay

@Lin-ZAY how do you do that? - Leandro Ardissone ⍨

Leandro, I created a FeedBurner feed out of my post feed and another one out of my comments/likes feed. I set up the FeedBurner account to offer the email subscription option and then I subscribed to it with my personal email account (GMail). Then I set up filters in GMail to forward the emails to my Evernote email account. Wish I could skip that step but you have to confirm the FeedBurner email subscription. Works fine. I get two new notes every day with 24 hours worth of my activity. - Lindsay

awesome, thank you :) - Leandro Ardissone ⍨

Lindsay, you can skip that step. If you subscribe with your Evernote email address, FeedBurner should send the confirmation email straight to Evernote. You can then follow the confirmation link in your new note. Thats how I've done it. Hope that helps :-) - David Adam

Oh, awesome, David! I never thought of that! - Lindsay

Cool, I just set it up your way, David. That actually opens up a lot of other interesting possibilities... I'm going to redirect some of the news letters and notifications I get to that address and also have my DailyLit.com subscriptions sent there. I'm excited! - Lindsay

Glad I could help :-) - David Adam

Brilliant! - Mitch Wagner

Despite being a newbie Evernote-ster (I spent time during a holiday adapting my info-collecting habits to it), I had started doing this. Works great. - Rex Hammock

Many people, even Google Reader users, do not appreciate the full power of Google Reader. It is my central command post for managing a wide variety of information -- anything that can be channeled as feeds. - Sean McBride

I've found that GR doesn't handle feeds for comments on individual blog entries too well -- it skips some and displays them out of order. - Mitch Wagner

I've been doing this for a few weeks - it works fine! Great tip! - Bill Sodeman

If you get it, lemme know what you think. I'm interested to hear if you think it works as well as I do. - Brad Williamson

Think I'm gonna give it a serious try - Jean-Charles VERDIE

I'm usually leery of these sorts of things but I'll give it a shot when I'm back on my MacBook Pro. - Akiva from BuddyFeed

I have to say I dig this. More usable if you're a college student typing a paper i would guess - Outsanity

Excellent! - Kol Tregaskes

loving it! works in Chrome also :) - Ivan Zuzak

Blocked for Iranian IPs!!!:( - Business Blogger 【ツ】™

"Your session is expired, please reload Gmail"... but even if i close chrome or clear the cache it doesn't work any more. - Alessandro

@Alessandro - refresh and then click your picture on the Twitter gadget again. that solved it for me. - Ivan Zuzak

@ivan, i can't click on my avatar: http://img16.imageshack.us/img16... - Alessandro

@Alessandro - oh i get it now, sorry. i got the "session expired" message in the main twitter window that shows tweets, not in the gadget itslef. - Ivan Zuzak

tnx ivan, however! ;) - Alessandro

thanks... nice info... - Harry Mahardhika

Pavel liked your post and assigned it to topic "Twitter" at http://smallaa.com. Start letting Pavel track you: http://www.smallaa.com/user... - Pavel Senko

This is very nice. Have had some trouble loading though today. Not sure why. - Kevin Mohr

lol. At a glance I thought the title was "Twitter Gets a Gmail Gadget" - Gmail inside your Twitter! - Micah

Two days later Twitter for Gmail still doesn't work for me... It worked only for the first day, then died. I give up. http://bit.ly/2csLz - Alessandro

excellent - TrafficBug

Works great for me no problems so far "knocks on wood" - Annika from Nambu

I love it use it all the time it's great - Annika from Nambu

It will be a blast if w can save the searches and set preferences for refresh rate. So far, working great. :) - Jonathan Kong

Yeah, I can't quite get the secure one to work. - Ⓒⓗⓡⓘⓢ Ⓟⓘⓡⓘⓛⓛⓞ

Please note the url is currently not working... - Matt Frog

where where.. the d/l page does not work :( - Naor Mark

ya, not working :S - Leandro Ardissone ⍨

If somebody successfully downloads this, can you please try OurDoings and see if our Picasa button works? You can disable the button afterwards. - Bruce Lewis

Eep. Is the gap of time between the Windows release of Picasa and the Mac release an indication as to how long we'll have to wait for Chrome? - Victor Ganata

Seems to work now for me! - http://googlephotos.blogspot.com/2009... - Adam Lasnik

only the blog post not the download - Naor Mark

Victor, could be longer. The customized UI they did for Chrome will have to be created from scratch for OS X. - Akiva

Still can't access http://picasa.google.com/mac :( - Matt Frog

Matt: just go to: http://picasa.google.com/ ON a mac you will automatically land on: http://picasa.google.com/mac/ - Nicholas Kreidberg

Nicholas - you're fantastic. Thank you very much! - Matt Frog

done that and i get the dmg of PicasaWebAlbumsUploader not the picasa app - could it be limited to a territory? - Naor Mark

About time too!!! - Mel Buckpitt

I've never used Picasa - until my needs grew to Aperture I loved iPhoto. What does it do better than iPhoto? Why would I want this? (honest questions, not snarky ones) - Sparky, lurking

Ah, yeah, Nicholas I just installed the web uploader too - still no cigar :( - Matt Frog

It seems that most iLife apps realize their potential when used in conjuction with their online services(.mac/ MobileMe). Picasa (and Google apps in general) accomplish most of the same things for free. - Rob Michael (Atmos Trio)

for me it's mainly for multi platforms (having mac,win & linux at home). As an app (and i'm not an expert, used it on Win.) it's very easy to use, with various tagging options and it works quite well on my home network storage so it is perfect for our "home photo processing work flow->(i.e. i move the pics to the drive, wife is organizing and tag them :)) - Naor Mark

From Duncan Riley - this link at Download.com works!! http://www.download.com/Picasa... - Matt Frog

After installing, I realized that Google is investing in video a lot with this, particularly with connecting YouTube directly to the interface. Given that most consumer cameras can shoot acceptable quality videos (which will increase significantly soon), Picasa is likely to become more relevant for videos at some point. - Engin Erdogan

amazing how so many so called tech experts kept pushing the uploader as the real deal - it finally materialized but long after most had shot themselves - Kevin Cearns

I'd like to echo Sparky's question: Can someone articulate advantages over iPhoto? Is it just sync to cloud integration? - Micah

Personally speaking I find that iPhoto is a 'walled garden' or in OSx speak 'a package'. If you want to store your images in different folders, with different names, manipulate your images with another app, you have to set up aliases and all sorts of other nonsense. Picasa allows you to import your images wherever you want so they can be used by whatever app you want and that includes Picasa. It has basic image manipulation which I find very intuitive to use. - Mel Buckpitt

It also allows you access to a Flickr like photo sharing account - Mel Buckpitt

Its nice but it does not integrate with the other apple software (media browser) and it doesnt allow the db to be stored on a different drive :( Picasa web albums is very nice though - Jonas Wouters

Will give this a try when I get home after work, but I don't know if I will migrate away from Flickr. - Vinko

Vinko, try http://picasa2flickr.sourceforge.net/ Picasa supports buttons that upload to other photo-sharing sites. Now I just need to test it with my site. Is it really Intel only? - Bruce Lewis

bout time. - Cee Bee

Installed Picasa eagerly. It's giving me some issues though. Doesn't show one of my watched drives and folders on it. Worked fine for an hour, dissappeared the second time I opened it. - The Fat Oracle

Yeah, I don't understand why they can't just build a universal binary. Are developers really relying on Intel-only bits? - Victor Ganata

Thats great! - Simon Wicks

bump due to duplicate - Zee.

Sounds cool, ta Olivier. :-) - Kol Tregaskes

now if it could use the build in webcam to adapt to the current lighting instead of just the time... or can it? - Iphigenie

@ kol : yep sounds cool, I just installed it - @ Joelle : good idea, leave an email to the dev - Olivier

wow, this sound pretty useful - Matthew

Thanks for sharing! btw, found lots of cool (and free) stuff there on http://www.stereopsis.com. (vjpeg rocks!) - Anton

Its Nothing, I dont see any use for it - TrafficBug

Trying this, and my eyes keep trying to correct the white balance. strange feeling. - Jason Wehmhoener

on my list now. thank you so much. - michael sean wright

great! but i'm using pc :( - Engin Eraydın

had no idea it even existed - Zee.

Strands has a lot of great sites. Strands Music is awesome, but weird in that I used to listen to it daily. Went back about a month ago and it didn't even have my login information. - Anika

Yet again another US-centric site :( - Glenn Slaven

Didier, yes, it's very much like Mint - Alan Cheslow

better than Mint? - edythe

I been using it since from a month, to understand my spending pattern. It’s also possible to check current balances and receive text alerts after signing up here. - Monica

If I'm already an active mint.com user, is Money Strands worth my time setting up? - Alan Le

I'm with edythe & alan. Is this a companion to mint, or should I think about jumping ship? - Don Faulkner

I'm a sucker for almost any new webapp - I'll try it. Mint is terrible (incorrectly categorizes everything and does not learn from my corrections) and Quicken is very buggy. - Chris Rogers

Rolling out to all accounts now... - Keith Coleman

I like the name "floaty bar" - Benjamin Golub

Hmm, gmail.com won't load on my android at all for some reason. Other sites load fine, so it's not my network connection. Maybe it's not rolled out to my account yet? - Evan Parker

Floaty bar: the best feature name since Maps added floaty balls. - Jim Norris

It would be great if the Android Gmail app got a similar facelift, since I doubt I would use this site over the native app. Guess Google's left hand isn't talking to the right. - Daniel Sims

Ah, gmail.com finally loaded. Slick, but mobile web apps, even with gears, can't come close to equaling native apps on android yet. Loading the new version of gmail in my android browser (by hitting refresh after already loading the page once), it took 15 seconds to display my inbox. Opening the andriod gmail app, it only takes ~4s from a cold start, and less than 1s from a warm start (re-opening the app after having used it a couple minutes earlier). - Evan Parker

Its really good. Like it alot. - Roberto Bonini

Works really well. Now if I can use that on the native gmail on iPhone... - brainno722 (Peter)

@daniel, the Android Gmail app did get a face lift, its awesome, you can run the magic firmware on your G1, it has a sort of floaty bar in it and it way faster than the dream gmail app, if you want to learn how to get the latest build, head over to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthr... - Kyle Weller

This is quite amazing. Been using it all day instead of mail. Sometimes I'll use mail to know new stuff has come in but the Gmail interface is so much more fluid and easy to use. Labels make it pretty nice too! - Brandon Titus

This is nice addition. Gmail is getting better and better. - Amani

It still has this "on behalf of" .... not really a release? - William Leung

wha? are you sure William? I tried it myself and it didn't appear to - Zee.

I had this installed a while back... it's really cool. Will try it again. Reminds me of Quake or Counter-Strike ;-) - Carlos Granier-Phelps

yes, it's nice.. "/give all" - Leandro Ardissone ⍨ from IM

Its for Mac? - TrafficBug

@trafficbug: yes it is - LouCypher
