It reminds us of an old Jeff Bezos quote... when someone asked him 'What do u think about Google's moto - don't be evil?' Bezos is said to have replied: 'I assumed this was obvious'.

- Offline Zimbra with Firefox; kiwi Chris Double has been testing offline support for Zimbra in Firefox, as a proof of concept of new Firefox offline capabilities (which we noted earlier this week).

- Yahoo Messenger integrates with Y! Mail; originally previewed in November, the IM/mail integration is being rolled out to all Yahoo! Mail beta users over the next few months. The feature allows users to see their friends’ status and avatars, as well as exchange instant messages in within their browser inbox. Nicely done and is better integrated than Google Talk is with Gmail.

- 2008: The Year of President 2.0?; "At this early stage the techniques deployed by wannabe presidents amount to a start-up bakeoff. What politico can use the Web best to get eyeballs, money and momentum?" Hmmm, sounds like blogging these days!

- Social Networking Sites Opening Their APIs; most telling comment: "MySpace declined to comment." But Facebook, orkut, Friendster, and my old employer Marc Canter's PeopleAggregator, are all working to open up their social networking platforms.

- New Web safety institute unveiled; the Family Online Safety Institute (FOSI) aims to promote kids safety on the Web.

He made a follow on remark which I cannot provide, since loaned out the book, and never got it back.

The integration of mail and messenger is truly impressive. That alone almost makes me want to abandon gmail.
