It was really only a question of when, but Windows 7 has finally overtaken Vista in operating system market share. Windows 7 is now closing in on 20% as Vista's presence continues to slide.

If you spend most of your time in your web browser -- and that browser happens to be Google Chrome -- you might want to check out Awesome Screenshot by the folks behind Diigo. What makes it awesome? ...

Google Chrome continues its charge ahead, and has finally overtaken Safari to become the third most popular browser in the United States. With 8.97% of the total browser market, Chome now sits behind only Firefox and Internet Explorer -- both of which will take a little more time to catch. Globally, Chrome fares better still -- with a 9.4% share. That's a pretty meteoric rise for a relatively ...

If you've ever used Facebook or Twitter, you're already familiar with Google Buzz's latest feature: reshare. Resharing is the equivalent of sharing in Facebook or retweeting in Twitter.

It's not so much that reshare is a cool new feature, just Google playing the inevitable ...

Hey, do you remember Google Bookmarks? I didn't either, until I heard the news that Google Bookmarks now has the ability to create and share lists of links. After a moment of confusion, I realized that Google Bookmarks wasn't a new product, and I started playing with lists. They're actually quite useful! On top of creating and sharing, you can import all of the bookmarks from a friend's list ...

"Retweeting" -- reposting someone else's content on your own account -- is so popular on Twitter that there was a huge user debate about how the site should handle official support for it. Facebook seems to have taken notice, introducing its own retweet-like "via" feature, which allows you to post other people's shared items in your own activity stream (automatically attributed to the original ...

We've all been watching the browser share trends for quite some time now, wondering when the day would come that an alternative finally shoved Internet Explorer off its perch. It's finally happened - at least when we're talking about the most popular single version of a browser. You can see it all in the bar graph above: Firefox 3.5 has dethroned Internet Explorer 7. Yes, we can all see ...

ReturnMyPants.com is a site that makes tracking the things you're sharing really simple. You can start using ReturnMyPants by clicking Lend or Borrow, and then filling out the appropriate ...

So Microsoft has partnered with Yahoo!, and Bing will now provide the heavy lifting when it comes to search. When I read the news this morning, I immediately thought of all the Yahoo bloatware I've seen over the years on certain OEM systems - I won't single out anyone like HP for this. Live (and now Bing) would have been the default search engine on all these systems, were it not for the Yahoo! ...

Sharing pictures on FriendFeed is nothing new, but now it's just as easy to share other file types on the popular social network. You can either upload a file on the FriendFeed website, or email it as an attachment to share@friendfeed.com. The feature is intended for stuff like PDFs and spreadsheets, but you can also upload music files like mp3s and m4as. Mp3s are playable and downloadable on ...

Smub.it practically begs be used on the iPhone, but other phones shouldn't ...

Apart from uploading a file directly from your machine, Gazup also supports mirroring files from a URL. It's a handy way to provide alternative downloads ...

While Microsoft is taking steps to web-ify its offline office suite, Adobe is joining the crowded field of companies offering web-based office applications. Adobe is buying Virtual Ubiquity, makers of Buzzword, a new online word processor. At the same time, the company is launching a beta of a new document sharing service cleverly titled "Share." (Don't worry that's just an internal codename. ...

Eachday is an online location that is a little more personal than your typical social network setting. The free online service allows users to upload photos and text, preserving and sharing a moment in time. Ok, so now that all the soft and gushy stuff had been layed out, what is this all about? Eachday believes that it is more 'meaningful' that other online storage albums, but what does that ...
