Gtalkr

Alessandro Crugnola general , , ,

Anybody using Gmail? How about Google Talk?
If so, 2Entwine has created a truely awsome Flash App called Gtalkr!! Right now it is Beta 2.0.0.67, but in my opinion a very promising RIA (Rich Internet Application).

  • Google Talk contact information
  • Contact presence changes
  • Gtalkr Notifier integration
  • Drag and drop support

It lists friends, your Gmail Account, a Flickr slideshow, a YouTube component, and much more…
Still not enough? Well Gtalkr also has a blog, Everything Gtalkr that will keep you up to date!!
Still want more? Well it even supports extensions!! A combination of XML and Flash…”you’ll need to create the Flash file that Gtalkr will load.”
I see a lot of potential in this application and fresh view on customization that other portal technologies lack….

Gmail Drive!

Alessandro Crugnola general ,

I was told this freeware shell extension by one of my co-workers, and it works great. OS support is for all Windows platforms.
It creates a virtual filesystem on top of your Google account and enables to save and retrieve files stored on your GMail directly from inside Windows Explorer. It literally adds a new drive to your computer under the My Computer folder, where you can create new folders, copy and drag’n’drop files to.
One of the things that I can suggest is; using file type icons would be better instead of system file icons in the virtual directories.
More details are here.
