Blog This !
Playing around with digg.com i really found it interesting to just click a single button and say "Blog This", for any digged article that i licked. But, soon digging became monotonous and less interesting for me.
And today, after scrapping off my .mozilla directory [ ofcourse, after taking backups !!! ], and restarting firefox 2, I was able to atlast install the cool, firefox 2 themes, like "MacFox II", and add my google notebook extension , and by the same time came across "Google toolbar". A new release for firefox on Linux has happened recently.
Ofcourse, the common thing between the last 2 paragraphs is "Blog This" :-). Yup, google toolbar now has a "Blog This" button, which you can click, and it opens up your blogger home page [ after having 2 sign in twice because my blog is moved to Beta blogger .. how dumb of these guys to have not taken this into consideration. Hopefully, they should have this fixed soon. ]. And then i need to click on "New Posts" and then enter the story that i want.
Damn, this is so uncool of google to do this. First, they ask you to have a single login account for all their services and then they dont seem to be seamlessly working among themselves :-( ... Guess, size really matters. The earlier slimmer google team had better integration among the products compared to the fat team now. I have started believing on the saying that "Your products are as integrated as your teams". Heard a lot about this in my previous company, but i only seem to be realising it now when i see things not working well integrated from google.
I would have preferred something on the similar lines to "google notebook". You visit a site, select the text you want in your blog, and click "Blog This" and you are taken directly to the composer window of your blog with the selected text including the link to the original article already typed. Hope to see this coming soon ...
Another good thing about this google toolbar in the "Bookmark". Now you can keep your bookmarks centralised with your google login id. Few points to improve on this as well ... Guess, this is a new product from google, and so can be pardoned for now. But, would really like to see an import option. Also, the google toolbar doesnt seem to be having the "bookmark this page" button as is suggested in the toolbar features page.
Integrating diversified teams is really a daunting task :-)

I guess we all need to understand first that we are here as human beings/animals. Our role in nature is to primarily reproduce like all other living beings. Fun is an integral part of it. Having to work in some shit thing and trying to do as early in life doesn't mean anything. Your expectations from the young generations / students is wrong. Whatever happens technologically but you don't want a 5 year old kid to have genetically become the father of a kid as creation of a child is just the meeting of a sperm and ovum. We all must do atleast something when it is appropriate for us. Bottomline - Dont expect others to follow technology purely on expectations.
