TextExpander can shorten long Web addresses as you type. Just copy some huge address, for example, and then type "/bitly" into any program; TextExpander pastes in a tiny URL (like http://bit.ly/6EYLj) without your having to open your Web browser and visit a URL-shortening site. It's fantastic if you use Twitter, where every character counts.

Official Google Blog: Adding search power to public data
A quicker way to find/graph/visualize public data.
-
Since Google's acquisition of Trendalyzer two years ago, we have been working on creating a new service that make lots of data instantly available for intuitive, visual exploration. Today's launch is a first step in that direction. We hope people will find this search feature helpful, whether it's used in the classroom, the boardroom or around the kitchen table. We also hope that this will pave the way for public data to take a more central role in informed public conversations.

We just launched a new search feature that makes it easy to find and compare public data.

It's also increasingly vital for local news sites to extract the context from data sets to tell visitors why the data is significant to them. This is the news function that Google does not have, and will not have anytime soon if you believe their CEO.
-
Google's Public Data should tell local news sites to focus their data to local data sets that mean the most to their core visitors.

From the Desk of David Pogue - Amazon’s E-Book Service - NYTimes.com

One-click book buying. Forty-five-second book downloading. One-click book reading. Amazon tore down every last barrier, minimizing the number of steps at every turn. The convenience is amazing.
-
You download the Kindle reader software to your iPhone or Touch (it's free from the App Store). You open it. You enter your Amazon name and password, one time. And there they are, in the Archived folder: every book you've ever bought from Amazon's e-book store, either on the Kindle or your Mac or PC.

Like many video platforms, Fliggo started its life as a video-sharing site.

Sorting through Google Reader can be pretty quick if you know some simple keyboard shortcuts; the two that I use the most are “J” which skips to the next unread item and “K” which brings me back to the previous item.
