PC World has a review of a few of the “next gen” web mail clients from the big names.

We tested betas (currently invitation-only) of Windows Live Mail and Yahoo Mail, and also looked at an open-source newcomer called Zimbra. All three apps use an increasingly popular programming technique called Ajax (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) to improve on standard Web mail and even Google’s Gmail.

Reddit seems pretty cool. Its like a combination of Digg and kruo5hin

Reddit has a similar concept to Digg that when a site is submitted, members can then decide to promote the site and add a point to it. But what makes reddit even more interesting is that it also allows you to demote a site if you don’t like it, subtracting a point from it and decreasing its chance of getting on the main page of “hottest” sites

There is a new trailer for Cars out, that is getting much better buzz than the old one.

Lightning McQueen, a hotshot rookie race car driven to succeed, discovers that life is about the journey, not the finish line, when he finds himself unexpectedly detoured in the sleepy Route 66 town of Radiator Springs. McQueen gets to know the town’s offbeat characters- who help him realize that there are more important things than trophies, fame and sponsorship.

You know how sometimes reading about something is so much less meaningful than seeing it? I was in a 7-11 the other night and walked through the Wine aisle on my way to get some snacks. Wine at a stop and rob, or at least wine that’s not Mad Dog or in some way fortified, is just wrong.

How about a few thousand logos collected together by some enterprising Russians.

There is a pretty interesting article on SSE by Dion Hinchcliffe on the Web Services Journal.

SSE is elegant, is itself simple, and provides an essential solution to an important problem with the increasingly two-way Web: Though RSS is a resilient, powerful, and ubiquitous protocol for Web content distribution, RSS has a one-way generic view of content flow. Without a standard way to process mutually published and edited content, there can be no shared perception of the unique pieces of information that pass between users and applications. These chunks of information are what RSS and SSE call items, and can represent calendar entries, blog posts, eBay auctions, podcasts, or whatever. With SSE added, RSS is still one way but we now have an easy way to collaborate separately on the same content (a wiki article, inventory list, or stock quote.)
