SmsScr logoJust in case you are too young for this (if all you have seen is an iPhone with on-screen keyboard or an Android device with Swype installed), keypresses in this context refers to the number of times you need to hit a phone keypad in order to type a word, assuming without assistance like T9 involved.

HeyWire logo(iDevices/Android) If you text very frequently to local or international numbers and the cost is sucking your wallet dry, you should check this out.

HeyWire is a free app for both iDevices (iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad) and Android that provides unlimited free text not only in the United States, but also to numbers in any of the 146 supported countries.

It is not a BBM-like messaging app like Whatsapp and KakaoTalk. The recipient need not to have the same app installed. All he need is a phone that is capable of receiving text messages, be it a monochrome Nokia 3210 or a cheap Chinese knock-off.

YapTime logoWhy is there a need for yet another social network when everyone is already on Facebook? That is exactly the problem. Everyone is on Facebook. With your parents, boss, teachers and everyone else on Facebook, you have to be cautious of what you’re posting. “Bored at work” would get you fired, silly videos will jeopardize your professional image.

YapTime was created to address these shortcomings of Facebook. There will be no friend request from strangers you met an hour ago. You will know exactly who you are sharing your message, photos, and videos with. No nonsense wall post from random applications.

Unread message iconAre you using any extension or add-on on your browser to keep track of the number of unread messages in Gmail? Just a day ago, I suggested that you replace such extension with Minimalist Gmail, a powerful Gmail customization extension for Chrome that features unread messages count on Gmail’s favicon.

Today, there is a new addition in Gmail Labs that does exactly that.

This is definitely welcoming for users who pin the Gmail tab on Chrome, and also to those who have so many tab opened that they can barely read the tab’s title anymore.

To enable, simply go to Gmail Labs and look for Unread message icon.

Unread Messages Icon

It’s only supported in Chrome 6+ or Firefox 2+, but what else can you be using?

The next feature Gmail Labs should work on would be sound notification. A perfect companion to the unread messages favicon.

(Mac only) One of the pitch Google used to get more users to use its range of services is “everything is in the cloud“. Your data will be stored online safe and secure despite having your computer harmed in some of the most common workplace disaster (or not so common, as shown in this video).
