Google Groups3 is out of beta

You might have already observed that Google groups has changed it interface.It is an interface which has been in beta since some time back.If you have observed it has got some nice features.Here you can design pages for your group, upload and share files (including photos), and view member profiles.Also the interface is Ajaxian.Finally Google has evolved Usenet to a this stage.What more?It has those features which the Yahoo Groups don't posess.The best thing is that Google didn't try to just blindly imitate Yahoo groups.

Google Page Creator Redesign

Recently,Google has changed the look of its Google pages editor.Now it looks more of like that in Google Docs&Spreadsheets.The interface looks nice and if you have experimental features enabled in your site you can also have the toolbar on the top of the page making the page to look less clumsier now and to give a better view.Think Google is going for some good changes in its Google Pages.Got to wait and see

About Gmail memory storage

I came online full fledged after many days as i was on a vacation and this is my first post after it.When I saw the recent news the one which attracted more is the one about Gmail stopping its storage at 2835MB(atleast it is what this link states about).So I thought of investigating it and looked up into my info gathering ways.Finally this is what the outcome is..

As that link says if you turn your computer's date to a later date to the 1st of April 2007 the counter usually appearing on the Gmail welcome page is stopped at 2835MB.They say this might be an indication of Gmail's storage limit.But if you have observed on 31st december 2006 Gmail stopped its counter at 2800MB.Gmail team might have forgot to add the code that manages the quota increase after 31st December 2006.Since january 3rd or so it again became normal.So may be Gmail team have made the counter to limit upto April 1st of this year only to introduce something new on its B'day.It may also be an April fool hoax.Whatever it may be there's something in store from Gmail this April 1st
