Altrenatives for Google applications


Google is the soul of Internet but still for some netizens who want to get out of the google-grip.Here are some alternatives ::
1.Thunderbird
Thunderbird is right behind it in terms of usefulness, functionality, speed and extensibility. Thunderbird, although not an online app, is a great alternative to Gmail.
2. 30 Boxes.
Although the simple and fast Gcal meets all needs perfectly, 30 boxes is just as fast and easy, and is loved by many. If Gcal didn’t integrate with Gmail, people would probably be using 30 Boxes.
3. Netvibes.
Netvibes can not only hold all of your feeds in an organized way, it can replace both Reader and Google Personalized Homepage. A great way to organize all your favorite services in a personalized way.

4. Zoho Office Suite.

Perhaps the best online alternative to the Google Docs & Spreadsheets, Zoho has just about everything you’d ever need: a spreadsheet, word processor, presentation program, project manager, notebook, wiki, web conferencing, mail, chat, database and CRM. This might actually be my choice of the future.

5. Peepel. This new offering takes my online OS model almost literally — it offers a desktop environment from within your browser. This service contains office apps, accessible anywhere online, including a word processor, spreadsheet and more. It’s limited in its current beta release, but it has potential and plans to expand in the future. Replaces Google Docs and Spreadsheets

6. Bloglines.

If Netvibes or Google Reader isn’t for you, Bloglines is another popular and excellent choice.

7. Zimbra Collaboration Suite.

Yet another online office suite, Zimbra started out with email/calendar functionality and has since launched spreadsheet and word processing apps. It is open-source with an API that could have many uses. Another alternative to Google Docs and Spreadsheets

8. ThinkFree Online.

Billed as the “best online office on earth”, ThinkFree aims to ween people from Microsoft Office to is web office suite. It has spreadsheet, word processing and presentation apps, online storage, document sharing and more. Unfortunately, only some of that functionality is free, but it’s still an interesting suite. Replaces Google Docs and Spreadsheets.

9. OpenOffice.org.

It’s not an online appliaction, but it offers everything Microsoft Office can give you, but for free, and without all the bloat. Replaces Google Docs and Spreadsheets.

10. Flickr.

An obvious choice as a replacement for Google’s Picasa web photo service, Yahoo’s Flickr is actually much more popular.

Recently I came to know about this, the homepage of Digg contains a "Secret Message" . This secret message is in the source code of the Home Page of the website in the form of a comment at the very bottom .After analyzing the code it seems that some physics-lover has worked on the code of the website.The message is ::: This line is a comment and thus not visible on the website but can easily be seen in the source code of the homepage.These are not just random numbers but are a result of very smart physics work done at the Digg labs. What is the significance of these numbers ? Take a guess (Hint :: Relate these numbers to physics)... OK,here is the answer..... 2.01355321270u :: This is the atomic mass of the hydrogen isotope known as D euterium. 137.03599911 :: This is a complicated one and really a geek in physics can figure this out.This is I nverse of the Sommerfield fine-structure constant. 6.6742x10-11m3kg-1s-2 ::The last two numbers are the same.This one is v...
