The AOL Mail Experience : Part 1

“There is a little bit of me in AOL mail”. Well, thats true. They have ads too !! like I have on this blog. Is it really bad to have ads ? hmm I would say, No, but when I open my inbox, I am expecting my inbox first and not just ads.

First Impression ?

Yes, opening your mail will not take you directly to your inbox. You see a copy of aol.in’s home page along with some ads. So my first impression was not that good. But it could’een better if they avoided that right - left scroll ( I really hate when I have to scroll left - right on a web page ) Continue reading →

New Features on Google Docs

google-docs.jpgConverting Docs to PDF files, is something most offices do. Well, even I had an instance today. ( we had to convert JPEG to PDF though ). So, a “convert to pdf” option is a must for a word processor. Its tough to implement something like that on an online solution. However, Google Docs team has just added the feature. Here are the new features added.

  • Save as PDF, for when you really need to download your presentation as a file.
  • PDF-based printing options (save trees and ink!). Go to File->Print, select how many slides you’d like on a page (up to 12), and preview your choice.
  • Vector shapes, for your basic diagramming and drawing needs. Use block arrows to point out what’s important, or say something in a call-out bubble.
  • I am going to start using Google Docs at work. So you should see some more posts on Google Docs, including a personal review, if possible. Google Docs, is something that I personally love to see getting more popular. Try it today ?

    There is a little bit of me in …

    I know you will be interested in this Article as well, since its about my AOL mail experience.
    AOL ….

    Right after the post asking you guys if you get attracted by those ads… do you think I got attracted by one of them ? the on going AOL mail ad campaign on tv ? Not really.. I was thinking about going beyond Google, and added Yahoo! and now, what about adding AOL to my list ?

    It will be collecting interesting news about these companies, discussing their new features, and comparing them. Before doing this, I really need to get a feedback from you all, about what I have been doing till now, with google and yahoo. I will decide if I should add AOL here, only after considering your comments. So, the question is, Do you enjoy reading posts on this blog, about yahoo and google ? are they useful to you ? do you think its boring to post always about the same topic ? do you think I should stop this and post something else ?

    Expecting your views and reviews !!
