Ubiquity

I have used Firefox for several years.  Tabbed browsing was, in its way, a first step toward bringing converging information from different websites in one location.  Ubiquity is a wonderful reiteration a of bringing together dispersed information.

Switch

Switch already, would ya?

In all actuallity, if my main e-mail account did not require use of IE to use its keen GUI, I wouldn't even have it on my desktop. Firefox is faster, safer, and more stable. Though they readily admit vulnerabilities (e.g. the Shell issue), the community patches such weaknesses when found. The fix for the shell: issue took two seconds to install. Two. Seconds. Really.

Meta-Geek

An interview with the co-founder of my favorite web based e-mail application. The hype is well deserved. Clean interface, fast load times, tons of space, and a sense of wit. Why should an e-mail application, or its blog, or any aspect an enterprise be witty? In some ways, it reminds me of why you pay $25 to have your hair cut rather than the $10 attack from supercuts - it's the quality of the conversation you have when you're in the chair.

Another reason to support them: according to their FAQ, they're lefties who grew up in Kentucky and then moved to Colorado (and points west). I can simply understand their story arc.
