Offline Gmail, Google Calendar and Google Docs

Offline Gmail, Google Calendar and Google Docs:

As promised, Google brought back the offline mode for Gmail, Google Calendar and Google Docs. The updated apps use HTML5 features and no longer require the Gears plugin.

For Gmail, Google chose the easy way out and tweaked the tablet interface. You can only use it in Google Chrome after installing this app from the Chrome Web Store.


The app lets you archive and label email, compose new messages and read the messages you’ve received, but it doesn’t have all the features from the standard version. The interface is more suitable for tablets, so this is more like a temporary workaround instead of a definitive solution.

	The Huge Untapped Potential of Q&A Content for SEO				
Question and answer content has been around on the internet a lot longer  than the web. From the early days of usenet (and before that, on  prehistoric technologies that came before my time) people have been  asking experts for answers. You can’t fail to have noticed, however,  that it has resulted in some of the lowest quality content on the web.  For far too many questions, the ranking answer is Yahoo! Answers (or  similar) that looks as though it was written by someone who found  writing YouTube comments too intellectually challenging:
