Mozilla Labs Ubiquity

My mate just told me about this really cool in the works firefox plugin, called Ubiquity

I think its a really cool concept bringing all the service in one place (user mashups) that you use almost regularly, like googlemaps, tinyurl, twitter, google calendar, wikipedia etc.

Check out the demo and see for yourself.

Find out property value for free!

I found something really useful - thought i might share.
Tarranet lets you do a property valuation for free, it gives you a lot of other cool information about the property history as well. Like who built it when etc etc.. You need to sign up for an account tho, they will email you the pdf. www.terranet.co.nz/free

We recently bought a brand new house and I checked it out, the information seems very valid and up to date.
