Foxmark- Sync Your Password and Sync Different PC with Different Profile

Foxmarks 2.5 have added a few new features which I think it is quite useful. With the new foxmarks you can sync your password and sync your different bookmark to different PC using Sync Profiles.

Password Synchronization works silently in the background to make sure that your passwords are the same on all your computers. If you add, remove or update a password on one computer, Foxmarks will make sure that your change will automatically be made on all your other computers as well. It works in a similar manner to bookmark synchronization with two major differences:

1. Password Synchronization is completely optional and is turned off by default. Foxmarks will ignore your passwords until you decide to synchronize them.
2. Password Sycnhronization encrypts your passwords using a secret PIN of your choosing before they ever leave your computer. This ensures that nobody but you, not even Foxmarks, can gain access to your passwords.

While Sync Profile makes it easy to keep some bookmarks from syncing to all your computers. If you use different Toolbars at work and at home, or if you have some private bookmarks that you don't want to sync to your work machine, Sync Profiles is your solution.For more infomation about Foxmarks Sync Password & Sync Profile visit http://www.foxmarks.com/

New stuff in iGoogle

If you wish you could deal with all your stuff without having to leave your iGoogle page. With today's release, you can. Google had rolled out an updated design for iGoogle to all U.S. users, which includes full canvas views for gadget and support for full feed reading. Hope they will launch for other countries soon. Below is some details of the new features of iGoogle :

Not all of iGoogle gadgets have canvas views yet, but here are some of the best:

• News - New gadgets from The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post give me full-page views of what's new in the world. Nice.


• Games - The Sudoku gadget lets me play thousands of full-page Sudoku puzzles without squinting at 6-point type. The GoComics gadget gives me my fix of Garfield and Doonesbury and lets me choose from all of their other comics. I've also spent many coffee breaks browsing through videos from YouTube and CurrentTV.


• Entertainment - I've configured the TV Guide gadget to my zip code and just used it today to figure out when the newest episode of The Office is playing. Flixster's movies gadget lets me access trailers, ratings, and theater information for any movie. I also use the iLike gadget to browse news, concerts, and free MP3s from my favorite musicians.


• Google stuff - The new Gmail gadget lets me read my full email and perform simple actions like send or reply to emails without leaving iGoogle. Last but not least, a gadget that I authored and use every day is for Google Finance, which provides full-screen finance charts and news of the stocks in my portfolio. Here's a full list of our highlighted canvas view gadgets.

Google also replaced the tabs at the top with a left navigation that allows for access to any gadget with one click. These changes makes iGoogle a more useful homepage and a better platform for developers. And this is just the beginning: Expect to see more canvas gadgets created by developers and more new features on iGoogle soon. Not in the U.S.? Don't worry. Google will be rolling out this updated version in other countries very soon.
