cNet Reviews: Top 10 Google Apps from Digg.
A lot of good apps at Google, as I have mentioned before are on that list. What they missed was Google Notebook. I have not really tried it out yet, but you bet I will the next time I take a class. I’ll talk more about it then.
Google Notebook is not the reason for the post. The funny think
about the list was the ratio of released products to beta products.
Seven out of the ten apps are still in beta, yet are used by a much
larger audience than most betas.
In other news, it sucks to be sick. I had an opportunity to see Superman Returns tonight, but I was too sick to go with Henry (T) and Q.

What’s better than an instant-messaging tool loaded with expressive
emoticons, as well as links to news stories and streaming music sites?
If such bells and whistles strike the wrong note with you, then the
answer is Google Talk. You can run this no-frills chatting client
either within a floating window or embedded within Gmail. Add a headset
and talk to buddies for free.
Germany has a beta quotient of “more than 50%”, but what I really
wanted to know was: what are the top web apps in Germany? I asked
Markus from MoMB, who actually lives in Germany, what he thought the
top german web apps are. Based on his responses, here is my summary:
According to Markus, openBC and spreadshirt are “the poster children”
of web 2.0 in Germany and probably ranked 1 and 2 in terms of native
web 2.0 sites. Both have a german language interface when you come from
a german IP address.
