Sure, most of them seems nice, but I don't see how much more added value they can provide compared to the obvious giants in that market (Google, M$, Yahoo...). The next to go may be Netvibes, that seems to have very nice technology.

I would have expressed it differently; a developer is leveraging more than just the Google infrastructure when using the App Engine, the developer can also make use of the Google data on the users.

After updating the Nokia e65 I lost all my bookmarks (except the autobookmarks?!), some applications quit working, the OneBridge installation disappeared (Still not working, but that's probably due to my own lack of skill) and the web browser is still a little flakey. And I can't spot any new features. I'm not going to recommend anyone to update the firmware :-/<br /><br />Edit: Got OneBridge workign again next day, thanks to the excellent instructions from the guys working with it.

It's main use is as a CVS server (via SSH). We have lots of defunct CVS processes. Weird and no hint in the logs as to what is going on.<br />Seems they are all children of an SSHd process ... most of them are owned by Kristian. Most of the rest are owned by someone using CVS from a Linux box.
