1 CommentThe next killer app:
The information aggregator? Dashboard, an open source project, similar but more advanced than taskpane in windows. You will have a pane on your desktop which will keep track of your context and provide services from different databases. For example if you come across a url on your main app, the dashboard will search for related sites on google, find weblogs bloging on that url through technorati, get the information about the person incharge of the site through FOAF, etc. Bill Gates also mentioned something like this on UsaToday. An app called scope is prototyped at microsoft reserch. Also, digital dashboard at Emergic.org talks about the same thing. Is it the next killer app? A notification service for the mixture of email, IM, aggregator, search engine and all the webservices available on the servers. Primarily the personal agent that has been in the future for soo long. Which UI form will it take, file browser, system tray, taskpane or like the google toolbar. How is its interface going to be on cell phones?

Scalado – Flash Image Zoomer:
They use flash to zoom into images. It would be nice to have the application itself in flash and send the selected images off to a thumbnail maker which makes the thumbnails for presentation. Finally show the images similar to scaldos imagezoom function.

Googles popup blocker:
It is very annoying if you click on a link and it is blocked by the pop up blocker. Just like spam blockers, it is better to err on the side of allowing a few posts rather than blocking legitimate posts. Google’s popup blocker blocks all windows opened by a flash file!!!! One more thing, the auto fill does not take information filled in the html fields. It wants you to go to their table and fill it before you can use it. The default form filler in windows is better, and why are they trying to replace something already present in IE?
