“Most of the things we try fail.”
—Jonathan Perlow, software engineer on the Gmail front end
Yet, without trying, there can be no success.

Buzz Kill
Watch Dave Winer’s opinion of Google Buzz drive off the cliff:
Twitter-killing follow-up. (Scripting News). http://r2.ly/xcex #
My first Buzz tweet. Not sure if you’ll be able to read this. Let me know. http://r2.ly/xcp7 #
After 15 minutes I remember that Google is mean and distrusting and filled with side-goals that have nothing to do with delighting users. #

Easy Cash With Google?
From The Official Google Blog:
“Use Google to Make 1000s of Dollars!” or “Easy Cash with Google: You Could be Making up to $978 a Day Working from Home!” You may have seen offers like these using Google’s name or logo that sounded too good to be true. Unfortunately, nearly all of them are, and, despite [...]
Google Wave
Z.O.M.G. Google Wave looks great!

One far-fetched idea: how about a wearable device that does searches in the background based on the words it picks up from conversations, and then flashes relevant facts? (Source, “The future of search” on Official Google Blog.)
ZOMG! Would you wear a wire for the convenience [...]
Google-O-Meter Chart
Google Chart API introduced yet another chart type: the Google-O-Meter.
Google Debit or Credit Card
Why doesn’t Google have a credit or debit card? With one, Google could serve ads to me based on my actual purchases rather than the web sites I visit. And, unlike Facebook’s recent privacy stumble, Google wouldn’t be publishing my purchase information to anyone but me.
Of course, I would expect a low interest rate in [...]
The Dominican Republic on Google Maps, Not!

Update Your Blogroll Automatically
I used to use WordPress’ built-in blogroll capabilities. No more — it was too much work. My blogroll now updates automatically to always show the feeds I’m reading. Here’s how you can do it, too:
Set up Google Reader as your RSS reader. I suspect other online readers would also work, but I know Google’s does.
Create [...]
