Zingku's features include:

* Share mobile photos and posts with friends and friends-of-friends with txt msg'ing, instant messenger, & web.

* Gather a big crowd & their friends with txt messaging, IM, and email, all at once!

* Take an instant poll among friends, all with txt messaging. "Hey what should we do ? 1. Movie 2. Dan's party"

* Your own mobile cards that people fetch by txt'ing a magic code. Make as many as you want & link them together.

* Fetch postings from any blog or any syndicated feed (RSS, Atom) to your mobile phone via txt message.

Google Presently is launched!!!

Google has finally integrated Google Presentation into its Google Docs.

I've tried out the product and seems to be cool but there are many features still missing as Googling Google rightly says "Google launches presentations, but shouldn't have".

Right after the release InsideGoogle found a security vulnerability in the application. (update: Google closes presentations security flaw after 15 hr breach).

I've made a presentation on the current buzzword Ajax and Im embeding it below.

For WebDesigners!!!

If you are a web designer or toying with Photoshop all the day, then this post is for u.

Working in Photoshop or image editing tool without knowing Keyboard shortcuts can be quite time consuming for both novice users as well as advanced users. Keyboard shortcuts are a serious time-saver when working in the digital darkroom. Knowing the most commonly used Keyboard commands is the best way to bypass mouse clicks.

Take a look at Photoshop Secret Shortcuts, it would be of much helpful to u and I assure it will save more time spent on the computer.
