The Chrome

Have You experienced Google chrome ?
Chrome is a really cool very fast browser. Its javascript engine is very fast. It supports features from HTML 5. Notable one is the 'canvas'. Using canvas, it can create and act on elements replacing images. The js code can change its attributes which can create really cool animations with just only javascript which was once possible only with flash. If you have successfully installed chrome, check this site.. http://www.chromeexperiments.com/

This site consists of experiments with javascript which will require fast js engine like the one in chrome. It consists of variety of experiments which include games, animations, attractive frontend for popular sites like twitter etc., These experiments were created by designers and programmers from around the world using the latest open standards, including HTML5, Canvas, SVG, and more.
Here are my favourite ones

Wat's New online?

First,
Url shorteners
They allow you to convert long url's to short ones.Additionally bit.ly and tiny.cc allows u to have have custom names in the url like http://bit.ly/balki will point to this blog. Be first to grab urs. :)

Mailinator

This allows u to have a mail address without signup or password. The main use of this mail address is to use it as an temporary address required for signups for few unimportant sites. You can view all the mails at the mailinator.com site. Another good thing is that a duplicate mail address for everymail address is created which cant be used to read mails (write only address) but only to send. So this makes u own the address to some extent if u have some funny name for ur address that no one will be guessing or be willing to have.
Warning: There was a similar service called emailmenot of bugmenot.com which stopped working now. So i cannot reset my password for some sites which use bugmenot email as key.

At last, fun
Omegle

Omegle is a brand-new service for meeting new friends. When you use Omegle, we pick another user at random and let you have a one-on-one chat with each other. Chats are completely anonymous, although there is nothing to stop you from revealing personal details if you would like.

If you like Omegle, be sure to check out the Omegle blog!

Which Email??

Any frequent internet user usually has a couple of mail accounts.
The best suited for all is the Gmail but others have certain advantages over the gmail.
Yahoo mail
The Yahoo mail which was the best before gmail has its speciality of unlimited storage. It also has a outlook like user interface which allows browsing thru multiple msgs easy.The major disadvantage of this is the ads at the right. Also the loading time for yahoo mail is slooow. U can have your email addresses short like @ymail.com :) Its a good idea to have the same id as of gmail in ur ymail too. you're likely to get ur prefered id for ur ymail.
Hot mail
I dont find anything attractive with hotmail. Only thing is that many users still use MSN for chatting.
In mail
This is a new email. It has a good advantage of sending future mails. Yes, you can schedule when to send ur mail. Also u can browse ur yahoo and gmails in the In mail id itself. Other thing is that ur email address can be very small like my new address is 2408@in.com , Guess u can have even 4 digit ids which makes the email addresses very small.
Find anyother mails better??? post on comments :)
p.s posting after very long.
