Coffee and Gmail, breakfast of Champions.
Gfail – heh.
“LOL, where were you during the #Gfail of 2009?”
Dang it, do have to Twitter now too? Someone might owe me lunch for snagging the best user name.
6:54 AM – Hey, it’s kinda fun to be part of the worldwide disaster of epic proportions!
7:45 AM – Seeing reports that things are coming back up in the USA, but not yet here in NNY.
8:00 AM – Happy to report that I’m logged in. FF extensions still buggy, but that’s OK. Weird, I had to fill in a CAPTCHA after logging in, but before the Inbox. Never had that before.

Then on Tuesday, my favorite Google Map gossip site announced the arrival of Wikipedia entries. Now they got my attention BIG TIME. Watch out Mapquest, Google is about to knock you off the top spot.

I just answered one of my own burning questions. And the answer is Yes. Google is entering into vertical search across their platforms and more. Holy Crap!
While we were blabbing, the Real Estate layer was added. And News is coming next week.
