Trackle Goes Pro; Launches Premium Version Of Realtime Tracking Alerts

This looks like an interesting SaaS tool for managing and tracking your online "presence". May need to take a closer look at this for work use - could be a good way to automate searching for mentions and branding.

Background Check Service | Certificate Verification | People Background Checks | Criminal Reference Check

Interesting new service that lets you create a verified Twitter identity in a few minutes. Now, even if your not a celebrity or large corporation, you can obtain an indentity verification that you can share with Twitter and other services. Its free for personal use and the setup could not be easier. Set my account up in a few minutes and it modifies your Twitter avatar with a verification seal. Neat stuff and worth a look if you want to have a verified account presence on Twitter.

Skribit Exits Beta, Gets TechCrunched — PaulStamatiou.com

skribit officially grows up and out - sheds beta designation. This is one of those truly unique ideas that is implemented well. I wish these guys lots of success. Check it out and put it on your blog today. Oh, and while you are at it, send me a suggestion for content in my skribit widget (that's fun to say). If you are reading this on my Posterous, jump over to cjsparno.com to check it out.

Review: Firefox 3.6 brings joy to Web devs, not just users

New Firefox 3.6 article at arstechnica. So far, I am not impressed by any speed increase. In fact, it seems slower to me than 3.5.x, and not sure if that is due to caching issues or just that Chrome is really still that much faster in everyday use. Will do more testing today and tonight and comment here if things improve.

Firebug Demystified | W3Avenue

My team uses Firebug and I occasionally scratch the surface of what it can do. It's one of those tools with so much capability that it scares me a little. This article over at w3avenue is a good starting point for getting to know Firebug and what it can do for you. Just wish there was a full version out for Google Chrome. Maybe someday.

Google talks Chrome OS, HTML5, and the future of software

Your current computer is a somewhat unpleasant device: you put it on your lap, you sit on the couch, you start working, it starts burning your leg, you start running out of battery.

Outstanding interview on ArsTechnica. The above quote is by Matthew Papakipos, Engineering Director for Chrome OS. A good read with lots of insight into Chrome OS and why it matters.

Seesmic Launch Event much more?

Hmmm, it looks like the Seesmic event tomorrow may be a bit more important than I originally thought. They have announced some additional keynote speeches around the launch, including Steve Rubel. Sounds like this may be more of a Twitter "coming out" party than a simple product launch. We'll see - cause to be honest, I am getting sick of Twitter clients in general that all offer the same three features - lists, retweets and multiple account support - big whoop. I will be watching and listening closely. Will post my thoughts after the event (tomorrow night to be exact). If you have not RSVP'd for the event, you can do so at http://www.seesmic.com/
