(The Dashboard link is somewhat buried on your account settings page, so you might want to bookmark google.com/dashboard.)

Elizabeth Montalbano 2009-11-06T12:00:00-04:00 http://www.networkworld.com/news/2009/110509-google-releases-core-development-tools.html Google has decided to release as open source several of its key application development tools, hoping that they will prove useful for external programmers to build faster Web applications.

One day, it’s “we’re thinking about charging for Hulu!” and the next it’s “What? We would never do that! … Probably.” Dan Moren 2009-11-02T12:00:00-04:00 http://www.networkworld.com/news/2009/103009-twitter-rolls-out-lists-feature.html Enjoy Twitter, but have trouble wading through the deluge of updates from the hundreds of people you follow? In order to help you break down your Twitter consumption into bite-size pieces, the social networking site has begun rolling out its latest feature, Lists, to its user base at large. Dan Moren 2009-10-30T12:00:00-04:00 http://www.networkworld.com/news/2009/102909-google-launches-music.html In an effort to make searching for and buying songs easier, Google has gotten into the music game, in partnership with online music stores like iLike (which is now a part of MySpace) and Lala--no mention of iTunes or Amazon MP3 though. From now on, when you search for the name of any song on Google, the first result will actually allow you to preview the song right on the page, and then proceed to buying it, if you like what you hear.

It's a cool concept, but it's not quite polished: The initial apps have some frustrating limitations, and we found small bugs in the programs--and even in the device itself. Given the unit's high purchase price ($400 as of 10/27/09), I was expecting a smoother start.
