o Google Desktop 2 and RSS

Google has just released their beta version of Desktop 2.

Location, location, location.

Google is going 'head-to-head' with Microsoft for the control
of your desktop. The prime location in the whole computer
battleground. No need to mention, the stakes are very high -
a billion or so computer users.

Perhaps, what is more important, Google has included a
powerful RSS enhanced sidebar that allows you to personalize
your news and RSS/Atom feeds. Further fueling the RSS
revolution!

This is a great feature, similar to the Firefox 'live bookmarks'
and 'MyYahoo'. It can only increase the use of RSS in our
daily computing chores. It will also introduce more people
to RSS.

Despite all the hype/fuss/buzz - RSS is still relatively
new or foreign to most Internet users. Sad but true.
Perhaps, even more surprising, a lot of surfers use
RSS without having an idea they're using RSS!

When Microsoft comes out with its new LongHorn RSS Browser
and Operating System. RSS will further become more mainstream
and commonplace.

But Google Desktop 2 is further proof RSS is here to
stay and is a major force to be reckon with.

o Promotional Desktop Calendar

In the same light, I have just started using a
simple desktop ecalendar and personal planner
in my own marketing. It's a simple download
from DATEwise and it sits on a user's desktop.

It has LIVE LINKS to my site and contact email,
along with my sales message.

If you want to try or read more about using
promotional calendars for your website or
