How to live (and die) by Gmail



I’ve been increasingly using Gmail for just about everything — for blog posting, Twitter, and my personal to-do list management. It’s all fun and games..

…In recent months, I’ve found myself relying on Google Gmail for all kinds of tasks that have nothing to do with e-mail.
For example, I post to my personal blog, to Twitter and to Facebook via Gmail. I receive Facebook Wall posts and Messages via Gmail, and reply from e-mail as well. I receive RSS links, Web page updates and Google Alert notifications via Gmail. My most recent abuse is that I have stopped using Web-based to-do list managers (most recently Teux Deux), and am now simply using Gmail to manage and prioritize my daily tasks and projects (the use of Hit Me Later makes that possible). I also use Gmail for e-mail.
The benefit of all this is obvious. Using the powerful Getting Things Done concept of maintaining one single “inbox” for all incoming tasks enables you to maintain clarity about what you’re doing and what’s next. Plus, it also means I can do everything from anywhere — my cell phone, my iPad, my laptop — or even somebody else’s computer.
The other obvious benefit is that by doing more…

Twitter Phishing Scam: Blame Browsers and Users

Is your browser doing its job identifying malware? And are you?

…With banks, newspapers, and politicians in Britain overrun by a blatant Twitter phishing scam, it’s time to point some fingers. Most disappointing are browsers and users, both of which failed to recognize an obvious ruse.
Specifically, I’m calling out Firefox and old browsers. After receiving a malicious “This you????” link from a follower, I tried it with all the browsers at my disposal, including Firefox 3, Google Chrome, Internet Explorer 8 and mobile Safari for the iPhone. Firefox was the only one that didn’t throw up a warning page when I tried to visit the link.
In fairness, Firefox is usually better than this. A report by NSS Labs last year found that Firefox 3 and Internet Explorer 8 blocked 80 percent and 83 percent of phishing sites, respectively — far superior to the competition. But what good are those numbers if you don’t block the big one? It’s like batting with the highest average during the regular season and choking in the playoffs.
I imagine that older versions of browsers fell prey…

Twitter or How Doctors Make Friends

Marketing in medicine is always a touchy issue because there is nothing the average person holds more dear than their health and treating it like a commodity can sometimes be disheartening. In the past few years a new way for doctors to market has shown up in the form of social networking, and nothing appears to embody this more than Twitter.

Marketing in medicine is always a touchy issue because there is nothing the average person holds more dear than their health and treating it like a commodity can sometimes be disheartening. Any doctor will tell you that marketing is just a way of life and if they don’t do it then they won’t have a successful practice. In the past few years a new way for doctors to market has shown up in the form of social networking, and nothing appears to embody this more than Twitter.
Twitter, the famous micro-blogging site, gives doctors a whole new way to connect with patients or would-be clients. Rather than billboards or press-releases, doctors now have a direct line of communication to their patients. I’ve seen first hand how powerful of a marketing tool Twitter can be: doctors simply open a line of communication with their patients, perhaps thanking them for their visit, and then the process begins. The doctor then begins to follow friends of the patient on twitter, they…
