Over the course of 2010, Google will update it’s Google Apps suite to HTML5, meaning older browsers such as IE6 will be unable to support the new standard.

Memozu, the simple sharing solution is coming out of beta. And to do that, it is getting completely rewritten from the ground up. There are heaps of new features that are going to be implemented, but it’s a huge job, so don’t expect it to come soon. We want your ideas, though. Tell us what you want to see in the memozu rewrite by sharing your ideas on getsatisfaction.
