Eager Noggin! Will Google Release Wiki App Today?
I’m a huge fan of Google apps. I’ve pushed the internal links in a Google doc to their limits trying to make something wiki-like to share with coworkers and collaborators so I’m really excited that Google might be announcing the release of wikis on Google apps.

I’m in love with Google Desktop!
In my constant search for desktop “pull” perfection I’m always looking for some kind of aggregator that truly pulls everything I care about in one place. Google Desktop definitely shows some promise.
