I have been Newsvine beta tester for two months now and I really like this unique news site. Now it is open to everyone. Read the announcement and try it! It just kicks ass when comparing with other news services.

Will Google Calendar hit April 1st? Probably yes or close to it. But today's news is that Writely has been acquired by Google. This is interesting, because Sergey Brin recently at the Web 2.0 conference said:

I don't really think that the thing is to take a previous generation of technology and port them directly, and say can we do the minicomuter on the Web on AJAX makes sense. I'm not saying that's what [Microsoft] Office is, I'm just saying that I think the Web and Web 2.0, if that's what you want to call it, gives you the opportunity to do new and better things than the Office package and more. We don't have any plans [to do an office suite].

What will be the next Microsoft move?
