Google social profiles at GTalk Profile
GTalk Profile is a site for finding Google Talk related profiles that makes use of the recently launched Google Profiles.
GTalk Profile uses the Google Maps API to pinpoint locations of users worldwide. Each pinpoint has a link to a users Google Profile, including their interests, location and profile photo. The site is relatively young, but there are already over 7400 users that have chosen to include their GTalk profiles.
While checking in with the site over the past few days, it seemed that they might have an inadequate hosting plan. There were numerous instances where the site was either offline, or the map and profiles were not showing up at all. Since Google Profiles are on the move to becoming an emerging way to identify each other in a social setting, it might be time for GTalk Profile to rethink their data plans.
Launchy 2.0 is here.
Open source keyword launcher Launchy grows up a little with a 2.0 release. Most of the changes seem to be in the interface—polished icons, better skinning support, transparency and fade effects, and other visual tweaks. But program options have been condensed into one window, plugins are more customizable, and the launcher seems more configurable overall. It’s important to note that any plug-ins and skins Launchy users currently have won’t work with 2.0 (yet), and your configuration file will be wiped away, so you might want to make a few notes before upgrading Download : Launchy

Remember The Milk with GMail
favorite web-based task manager Remember the Milk has released a Firefox extension that integrates your to-do list into Gmail. This extension doesn’t just embed your list into Gmail for easy viewing—it’s pretty full integration. For example, you can label messages “To Do” to automatically make them a task; as well as complete, postpone and otherwise manage your to-do’s right inside Gmail. The RTM Gmail extension adds a Tasks tab in Gmail’s settings where you can tell it to make starred messages or messages with a certain label a task. It also adds RTM capabilities to Gmail’s More Actions drop-down. Cool! The Remember the Milk in Gmail Firefox extension is a free download that works with and wherever Firefox does.
