If you want the whole world to know what you’re currently up to or who you are but don’t want to spend hours building your Wordpress or Blogger account, try Tumblr.
Read a nice article on Tumblr on LifeHacker.
This is the result after I spent 10 minutes creating my own tumblelog.

I know, I haven’t been writing that much lately, but I was busy and travelling. Yeah, it also happens to me!
I’m formatting some pictures Nath and I took during our last weekend in Amsterdam and will post them later.
In the meantime, read this interesting article about how web technologies (syndication, Java, Ajax, wikis, blogs, etc.) are currently being used and how they will be in the near future.
Over the last months, I’ve discovered and started to use new tools available from Google. As for many Google users, it all started with the basic search engine, available through local domain names (I use google.ch). Some of the free Google tools Google that I currently use are:
For a complete list, see: Google Help.
I’ve become a sort of Google-addict, in the way that I’m really happy with the tools they provide and use them almost everyday. But isn’t this going to put me into trouble? I mean, it’s an addiction, and addictions are dangerous, right?
Seriously, I guess while some people are happily using all these tools Google is providing, some others think: “watch out, Google is slowly but surely storing all your private information on their servers.” I’m not a techie, just a lambda user, so I don’t really know how much information Google has about me. I don’t know if it’s interesting to them either, but the questions people are starting to ask around keep me thinking about it.
And then, a few days ago, I went to a book shop and I found this book: “The Search: How Google and Its Rivals Rewrote the Rules of Business and Transformed Our Culture“, by John Battelle. I’ve started to read, because I’m really curious about this Google-mania. Let’s see if I can find some answers to my many questions.
