Google just entered the Blog Search game. Head on over to http://blogsearch.google.com/.

Just read an article over at Wired.com about a new “social browser” called Flock that will be coming out soon. As Wired puts it, “it’s a clear attempt to be the browser of choice for the Web 2.0 user.”

Sounds pretty cool to me. I signed up to be notified when it becomes available, because I’m always looking to have a better browsing experience.

Microsoft just unveiled the new UI to Office 12, and I’ve got to say: it is a huge departure from previous interfaces.

The new UI – the most dramatic change to the way Office applications work since introduction of the toolbar in 1997 – will help users become more proficient with Office and produce better-looking documents faster.

I like the smooth look of the interface. Things are organized a lot better, though the area devoted to toolbars seems pretty tall… not really an issue with most people’s screens having higher resolutions these days. I love the shading and shadows… Nice work Microsoft… can’t wait to see more.
