Zimbra

It seems like two years ago that Yahoo! bought the open source platform for communication Zimbra for 350 million dollars. Oh, well, that's because it is. But now it seems that Yahoo! Zimbra is looking to sell, and a number of other properties that do not fit the mission statement streamline the business, including HotJobs.
 
 While Zimbra advanced messaging tools certainly left their mark on the recent update to Yahoo! Web mail client, but the real strength of Zimbra is the fact that you can deploy the software on your own server and create a corporate network, email, chat, and calendar. And this is not necessarily a Yahoo! want to be now. Instead, the company focuses on its consumer products.

Well, now the promise of open source becomes a reality, but not as fast as developer Eric Woodward had hoped. He announced the first open source version of Tr.im - if by "liberation" means "at least a few more days to go before the release." The biggest news is the plan to surrender the domain Woodward Tr.im a repository of third parties. Like the open source version of Tr.im is still a work in progress.
 
 In the field of development, Tr.im 's user authentication module and needs to be fixed, and there are still a few days of bug fixes to do. As to the third party could retain Tr.im, Woodward wrote that the talks are in their final phase, leaving aside the important detail of what he speaks. All this looks like another story Tr.im making jokes while people still might be interested. Actually Tr.im still use, but I'm less interested in their business, and more interested in knowing if it works correctly.

Gmail has a pinch last night that provides a better service contact management

Gmail has a pinch last night that provides a better service contact management. By clicking on the "A" or "Cc:" links in front of each address field, a box appears with a list of contacts. (See example at right). It is a simple change but it avoids having to go to another page to find a contact.

Often, users of Gmail, you probably will not use this feature because Gmail gives you a list of auto-complete suggestions as you start typing a name in the "To:" field. They are based on people who have communicated with recently, and usually does the affair. But if you do not send someone for a long period, your name does not appear. It is useless if you can not remember its name.

Anything that reduces the number of steps it takes to complete an e-mail is a plus in my book. However, this feature is somewhat hidden. You must click on the "To" or "CC" links to expose something that many people can do it by mistake the first time (and for what I say).

The switch also works for groups.

StopAutoDM - stop the automated messages directly

Most of us are very angry with being on Twitter direct messages. Well, Brent Spore has taken his thinking in the public eye. StopAutoDM recently launched a movement to stop the automated messages directly. The idea and the site is simple, Tweet with label hash stopautodm # and posted on the site.

When we talk about Spore, which mentions that just "fed up" with all the self-DM that he did, and had to find a way to stop it. Just another side project that really means. More recently, Twitter has changed the format of their messages directly to a new design.

For example, the chief of intelligence, the game on Twitter, first launched, it automatically uses targeted messages that led to the revolt of the users. Since then, direct messages have been deleted. There is still no indication of what it Twitter to do to stop the automated messages directly, but all we can only hope that all extremes of madness.
