Excerpt: The BBC has relaunched the website version of its popular iPlayer service in an effort to give the online telly catch-up service a Web2.0rhea sheen. The Corporation said it had simplified its iPlayer by making TV and radio shows easier to search for via its website.

Excerpt: We all love Google and its very famous web mail service, Gmail. I think that Gmail is the best email client as compared to others. Even I had tried lots of other services too but I always came back to Gmail. And after Google enabled the sidebar gadget service in last October, I proudly become the loyal user of Gmail. The best part is these gadgets really worked well on my Gmail sidebar and they don’t even clutter the interface.
