Google Gears Gone

Google Gears Gone

By Krishnan Subramanian on February 20, 2010

Google Gears, a technology developed by Google to offer offline functionality for browser based SaaS applications, is officially dead. Google today announced that they are not developing Google Gears any more because they plan to push this offline functionality into HTML 5. If you’ve wondered why there haven’t been many Gears releases or posts on […]

Presentations… And Re-Inventing the Wheel

Presentations… And Re-Inventing the Wheel

By Ben Kepes on September 21, 2009

I’m not a huge user of presentation software. I’m blessed to not work for a corporate and hence don’t have to justify my existence with a 40 slide deck resplendent in 12 point text and bad transitions. Yup – it’s fair to say I’m not a huge fan of presentations…. A little while ago I […]

Google Reader Gets Improvements, but Offline is Ignored Again

Google Reader Gets Improvements, but Offline is Ignored Again

By Zoli Erdos on August 13, 2009

Whenever a Google product gets updates, tiny or big, there’s a chorus of praise … which is OK, after all everyone needs link-bait, but what about some critical thinking?  Today’s big new is additional social sharing and “mark as read” controls – they are all useful, you can read the details from any of the […]

Firefox 3.5 Dowload Day Progress - Google Gears, Mozilla Prism Missed Launch

Firefox 3.5 Dowload Day Progress – Google Gears, Mozilla Prism Missed Launch

By Zoli Erdos on June 30, 2009

Download Day for Firefox 3.5 is decidedly more understated than 3.0 was.  A lot less hype prior to the release, no spectacular outages, and a respectable 1M+ dowloads so far, which is nice, but way behind Firefox 3.0’s Guiness Record.  Blog visitor stats are very biased metrics, they tend to lean towards the “new and […]

Google Gears – Lifeline of SaaS

Google Gears – Lifeline of SaaS

By Krishnan Subramanian on January 28, 2009

Image via CrunchBase After Google made an announcement about the offline capability of Gmail using Google Gears, Raju Vegesna, Zoho Evangelist, wrote a post listing various applications that make use of Google Gears to offer offline capability.

Google Reader Offline: Smart Yet Dumb

Google Reader Offline: Smart Yet Dumb

By Zoli Erdos on December 30, 2008

2008 REDUX Another piece in the 2008 Redux series, originally referring back to a 2007 post, and what’s mind-boggling is the issue is still not fixed. Yes, it’s great to be able to download my feed items and read it on the plane without Internet connection (since I am not flying Virgin). I even "starred" […]

Google Releases New Zoho Service: Mail with Offline Support

Google Releases New Zoho Service: Mail with Offline Support

By Zoli Erdos on October 10, 2008

Yes, you read it right: the first announcement of Zoho Mail’s general availability, with Google Gears-based offline support did not come from Zoho, but from the Google Gears team, which released this video discussing Zoho’s use of Google Gears, synchronization, the Marketplace and  a lot more a bit prematurely: Somewhat used to it (see TechCrunch […]

S+S/SaaS - So What's in a Name?

S+S/SaaS – So What's in a Name?

By Ben Kepes on October 2, 2008

Steve Clayton from Microsoft is a great guy with one of the blogs I religiously follow (and I follow a lot of RSS feeds). I actually quite like his somewhat defensive stance – it must be hard working for a company that, from appearances, is reviled by all the cool kids in town, and to […]
