New ebsite card.ly is an awesome idea. It allows you too collate all of your information, online or otherwise into a simple, online e-buisness cead you can send to anyone. You can update it on the go, and get a personalised url. Plus you can embed it in your webpage. It’s a great way to show everyone who you are, and where you are.

Google Reader, the fantastic online rss reader, has come onto your desktop, not a desktop app yet, but it is now a google desktop gadget. Now, I don’t use Google Desktop myself, but this seems like a cool feature.

Found this bookmarklet created by instructables user liammk. His bookmarklet opens the current page as a cached version from Google, thereby killing the 404 and showing the page Google has a record of (hopefully pre-404).
