What a party pooper! Damn you Senate committee! Fix the real problems in the country first, then deal with Google! Google’s done more for the country in the past 6 years than you have!

I’m not a Gmail user normally, I’m all about the Yahoo! mail for my personal mail (I hate advertisements). Anyways, after setting alerts for the my past article, Google Alerts versus Saved Google Blog Search Feed, when I was in Gmail, I noticed my Internet Explorer Feed icon was lit up. So I clicked it, and got this: http://mail.google.com/mail/feed/atom
When I inserted this link into my feed reader, it automatically detected that it was a Secure Feed and asked for my username and password.
Bam! This solves my issue that I never check Gmail and my Google Alerts (which goes to my Gmail account) issue!

Seriously? A comparison for Xbox360, Playstation 3 and Nintendo Wii to decide which console gets first dibs? Lame! The mention is at the end.
Apparently they want feedback too about any “interesting trends”… Lame!

A lot of us love video games, and everyone here has their favorite from the latest generation of consoles. We have a game room in our building that happens to have all three of the latest systems: Artem loves Microsoft’s Xbox 360, Niv can’t part with Sony’s Playstation 3, and Corey is hopelessly addicted to the Nintendo Wii. After some serious work organizing the world’s information, we like to kick back with a round of Wii Tennis or a trip to Rapture. The problem is that there’s only one TV in the game room, and of course only one system can be played at a time. In true Googley fashion, we look to data to decide which console gets first dibs. For that, we used Google Trends, which lets us see what the world is searching for.
Take, for example, a comparison across the systems:

I was shocked, sort of, to see Family Guy Star Wars as the #1 Google Hot Trend this morning. The season premier episode was great and well done, but shouldn’t the dorks of the Internet be watching Family Guy when it airs?
Anyway, here’s what I got when trying to hit Google Hot Trends:

I’ll admit, most of my friends are on Facebook, MySpace and Friendster, although none of them really use MySpace and Friendster anymore. Facebook has become my actual real life friends base of Internet social operations. Now, I’ve joined many other services (Orkut, Digg, etc.) just to see how they are, and I use StumbleUpon, Digg and Del.Icio.us, but my “real life” friends all aren’t there. It’s quite sad. Only 1 of my friends blogs. I got 5 of my friends interested in reading blogs/rss feeds after I started my blog. However, that’s about the extent.
Now that Google is supposedly releasing their “Social” set of APIs on November 5th, where will I be without my friends to back me up?
