Gmail motion ...

Usually when Google introduces something, they means business (well :=) except for 'wave'). I just noticed the new offering from Gmail called 'Gmail Motion'. At the outset, dont go by the name... that probably is not the best. But looking into what it is, makes your eyes open up. You immediately know that it's the step of computer usage. Though Google says it has been working on it for a long time and has tested it, I still havent concluded whether it is a great product. But one thing is for sure... the technology holds a great promise and it HAS future. See for yourself (see the video first).

Did u hear about the "Asians in the Library"?

Youtube... a medium to express. Proving beyond words... here is an episode that really got me hooked.

A few days back, a student at UCLA California uploaded a video... a message with a purpose... an opinion. Within hours there were party poopers, comedians, john "lay-on-the-couch", musicians, "the-girl-next-door", martians... a whole of people policing what she says. What was interesting though (apart from the opinion itself), this global medium threw open gates for discussion, counter attacks and creativity.

Enjoy the ride below and see how the internet today unites people from varied backgrounds and interests into one common platform of thought.

Here is the original video posted by the lady student.
