If you haven't gotten the new Google Notifier you should go get it now. Not just for Gmail anymore, it keeps you aware of what's happening on your Google Calendar too.

Probably the bigger news is Google Apps for Your Domain. Basically, this means you can get the power of Gmail and Google Calendar to run specific to your domain. Instead of having your @gmail.com address, with Google Apps you could have Gmail power your @yourcompany.com email address. You can do the same with Google Calendar. Only users in your company sharing a private calendar hosted by Google.

For a lot of small businesses (plexus included) this is an appealing alternative to Exchange.

A few days ago iStockphoto announced their new service, iStockvideo.

iStockvideo is a spinoff of the wildly popular user-driven stock photography site, iStockphoto.

With the recent explosion of video on the Internet thanks to Flash's recently added video support and the market penetration of broadband, I see no reason this site won't be as successful and easy to use as iStockphoto.

Well, I see all three versions pretty consistently. And truthfully I do see website more than any of the other two.

So, I looked it up in the AP Style Guide and here is the relevant entry.

Web
AP style requires the use of a capital letter when referring to the World Wide Web: Web site, the Web, Web page.

Who cares? Well, since the phrase We Build Web Sites is such a big part of our identity I thought I should get to the bottom of it when Kim asked me this morning.

There is also someone amongst us using the "website" spelling.
