Google Trends for Websites: wikipedia.org

You provide one or more URLs; for each web site, Google displays the number of daily unique visitors, the countries or states/provinces they came from, other web sites that they have also visited, and terms they have also searched for. Just as Google Domestic Trends went beyond search queries to compare financial trends to its information, Google Trends for Websites extends its reach and analyzes information on web traffic from a number of outside sources.

Google Trends

lets you see how frequently words or phrases were search for in
Google, over time. You can even compare the relative frequency
of two different words or phrases. I was curious about how people
referred to the H1N1 flu, and when the shift occurred from calling it
“swine flu”. I typed in the two phrases, swine flu and H1N1,
separated by a comma. [“swine flu”, h1n1] .

Google SketchUp

Want to draw a house? It can happen with Google SketchUp. The 3D modeling program offers users the ability to use basic shapes in order to create a number of different objects, including buildings and other structures. One particularly nice feature of the program is that visitors can also add textures to simulate wood, concrete, and grass. After that, users can also see their models in Google Earth, if they so desire. This version is compatible with computers running Windows XP or Vista and Macs running OS X 10.4 and newer.

Earlier this week, the Wall Street Journal published an article entitled, "Why Email No Longer Rules." The article notes that while email usage continues to grow (21% more email accounts than in 2008), social media is growing faster (31% more accounts). That hardly sounds like a dying medium. Doesn't the Wall Street Journal, the bastion of financial news, realize that a hot new medium will have a faster growth rate than a hot "old" medium because fewer people use the new one? No, email is far from dead. But it's certainly ripe for some new tools given its central role in law firm workflows.

Postbox 1.0 … in One Sentence

Postbox is an email client with a new approach to email management.

The Killer Feature

When you consider that email harkens back to the 1970s, it has a surprisingly rich structure — date, from, to, cc, subject, body, attachments, etc. Why then do so many email clients either lack the ability to search these parameters or take forever to display the search results?

Postbox claims to address this shortcoming with what it calls "ultra-fast search." Using the Search Panel, you can create narrow searches such as messages that contain a certain word within a date range. Alternatively, you can use Postbox's search syntax (e.g., from:Barack) to create thes
