SlashDigg and DiggDot.us - For all nerd news freaks

Slashdigg and Diggdot.us are two sites I came across recently that combine news from the three most popular sources out there: Slashdot, Digg and del.icio.us

Diggdot.us combines news from Digg, Slashdot and del.icio.us into a unified format Also it claims to eliminate dupes and add some extra niceities.

The other site Slashdigg aggregates news form Slashdot and Digg and provides various viewing options such as side by side, frames, and combined and also has a 'Super Nerd News' section that combines news from sources such as news.com, wired, cnet.

From what I see of their interface, I think Slashdigg makes use of the Lilina Aggregator.

Gmail Chat Disabled

The fact that it happened does not surprise me but that it took so long for our network administrators to figure it out does. And if you are wondering how do you disable Gmail's chat features on your network, you only need locking DNS lookups to chatenabled.mail.google.com , by returning 127.0.0.1 .

Firefox Extension for coComment!

I have put up the Firefox Extension for coComment! I and a few friends have been using it for a day now and it seems to work fine! Download coComment! for Firefox coComment! for Firefox allows you to coComment! from the right-click context menu and is of great help especially when commenting in a pop-up window where you can't access your bookmarks. Also, with this extension you will not have to move from the comment area to your bookmarks to click the 'bookmarklet' and then back, before you click the submit button on the blog. With this extension, you can directly move on to the submit button after writing the comment and merely hit the right click 'activating' coComment before submitting the post. Simple Fitts' law and it makes your browsing experience a great deal better and faster. Let me know what you think of it!
