The Morning Reboot:
- YourMinis has added a new blog directory to highlight widgets for specific blogs. The widgets themselves aren't new, but the new section makes it easier to find a widget for your favorite blog. That said, the “featured” blog widgets happen to mainly be tech review sites (which are likely to reviewing the new feature) which I find a bit tacky.
- Google inked a deal yesterday to provide software for students and government workers in Rwanda and Kenya. The students and government workers will have access to the Google Apps set of free communications tools, including e-mail, shared calendars, instant messaging and word processing.
- Wired's own Jeanette Borzo has an interesting piece on NetVibes which includes an interview with Tariq Krim, the man behind Netvibes and Krim's plans to revamp online advertising.
- Symantec has released a new study which claims “the current Internet threat environment is characterized by an increase in data theft, data leakage, and the creation of targeted, malicious code for the purpose of stealing confidential information that can be used for financial gain.” In other news, the world is apparently “round.”
- And finally, of interest to science nerds: Discover magazine has opened its online archives to everyone, you no longer need to be a subscribe to access older articles.
