Using Gmail for both work, side-work, and play, I have longed for this feature for a long time. Wonder why it's taken this long though.

Hitwise Intelligence - Heather Hopkins - North America

Shared by Hugh
[via alltop via twitter]I really find this an astonishing (and hard to swallow) figure. I was not aware of a 'reader' in fb, much less people were using it. I honestly thought anyone was doing on it now a days was playing Farmville.

Personalization of Google Results Creates a Huge Advertising Opportunity

Shared by Hugh
Amazing observation of last night's Pontiac ad during the Super Bowl. To instead tell people to go to your site through Google to maximize personalized search instead of a direct link is a great way to push yourself in future search results for the same user. Guess I need to get me back at the top for http://www.google.com/search?q=hugh+fletcher.

YouTube - Senator Franken's Q & A with Brian Roberts, Jeff Zucker, and Dr. Mark Cooper

You know I can't see why anyone would think letting Comcast buy NBC is a good idea with these two tools at the helm. And Democrat or not, Al Franken for President!

Shared by Hugh
For those that have said PHP is dead, the largest PHP deployment site on the internet just showed you up. The ability to cut your computing/server usage up to half is a great breakthrough. Glad to see Facebook pick up the support for PHP where Yahoo left off.

How to Use Google Docs Folders as Labels

Shared by Hugh
The one reason I never embraced Google docs because of (what appears to be) it's lack for a labeling system that is otherwise in used in every other Google app. Apparently with a little know how, it's available in docs too.

Named Scopes with CodeIgniter

Shared by Hugh
This is a really interesting way of using your models in CodeIgniter, or in any framework really. The usefulness of models in some apps is debatable, especially in smaller projects, but Jamie's method of chaining with named scopes can allow you to set a very flexible model that would be highly reusable. His suggestion of extending it with a base model that includes your basic CRUD functions is on spot too. Did I mention Jamie is just 15 years old? Smart kid.

The gummy bear has to pack a punch in the end. Will have to try sometime.

Google Voice Is Coming Back To The iPhone Via The Browser, Thanks To VoiceCentral

Shared by Hugh
This is amazing and an example of Google determination's to improvise and adapt. The innovators beating the innovators. I am strongly thinking of dropping my iphone and moving to android for two reasons, and the lack of ability to use Google voice on the iphone is one of them.

Last summer, when Apple pulled third-party Google Voice applications from the App Store, one of them was VoiceCentral. Apple’s subsequent rejection of the official Google Voice app spurred an FCC investigation, but Google Voice never made it to the app store and none of the other apps ever made it back in.
