A way to open 2 Google accounts simultaneously

In case that we have one personal account and another one company account -- for example.

We can use multiple web browsers to separate accounts. But if we want to use only one such as Firefox. This method can be a solution:

Personal-account set
  • iGoogle: by this time it's not available to company account yet.
  • Gmail Notifier
Company-account set
  • Google Talk

Gmail Notifier and Google Talk call Gmail at different places despite of same "www.google.com/...", no matter company has set alias to another URL or not. And then from Gmail, each session links to within its own place for other services (Calendar, Docs, Sites).

How to locate link to each post in FriendFeed

FriendFeed does not provide link of each post right from typical page. Comparing with Blogger's link field: it links to embedded URL, when supplied, not the post itself.

To find the post's URL itself:
  1. At the post's actionable command line, select "Share". Its dialog pops up.
  2. Under "Share elsewhere" section, look at field: URL.

This is useful when we want to review comments/discussion, for example.

Social networking

There are 2 major meanings according to Wikipedia. So, using each term correctly would be nicer in our language.
  1. Social network: a social structure made of nodes (which are generally individuals or organizations) that are tied by one or more specific types of interdependency.
  2. Social networking or Social network service: focus on building online communities of people who share interests and/or activities, or who are interested in exploring the interests and activities of others.

Lotus-Notes OoO clarification

The agent asks us returning date. However it assumes that we become available that same day too!
  • The dialog lets us specify (I will be out of office...) leaving and returning dates.
  • The first paragraph of OoO message will become: "I will be out of the office starting {leaving date} and will not return until {returning date}."

At returning date (before morning), the agent will send 2 emails to mailbox owner:
  1. Subject: Welcome Back!
    Please disable your Out of Office Agent. To disable the agent, Open your Out of Office profile and select the 'Disable' button.
    While you were out, the 'Out of Office' agent notified the following people of your absence. .....

  2. Subject: Reminder Please Turn Off your Out Of Office Agent
    This is a repeat reminder!
    Please disable your Out of Office Agent. To disable the agent, open your Out of Office profile and select the 'Enable/Disable' button.

So, if we are away, such as on vacation, during date 10 to 14 and will be available at 15; set returning date to 15.
