New items always appear on my Netvibes (and even my MyYahoo!) before they ever show up in my Google Reader scroll. Google must be processing the feed in some way that takes a little bit longer than the other services. It's not a HUGE deal, obviously, but for news junkies every minute and second counts.

<div>FCC sigter mod at fri op 500 MHz af frekvenser til bredbånd</div>
<div>IDG News Service - U.S. Federal Communications Commissions kommende nationale bredbånd planen vil bede fjernsynsstationer  levis 501
frivilligt opgive ubrugte trådløse spektrum, i bytte for en del af overskuddet når dette spektrum er solgt, sagde agenturets formanden i dag. FCCS nationale bredbånd planen, behørigt  levis jeans uk

rti, sagde FCC formanden Julius Genachowski under en tale på instituttets nye America. Som led i denne indsats sagde Genachowski planen vil foreslå en "mobile fremtidige auktion," tillader spektrum licenstagere at opgive spektrum. Genachowski understregede at deltagelse  levis 501 jeans
i mobile fremtidige auktioner ville være frivillig.  "Mens overvældende--ca. 90 procent--af amerikanerne modtager deres broadcast TV programmering i de fleste store markeder gennem kabel ledninger eller satellit signaler, er der stadig millioner af amerikanere, som modtager TV via kabelløs antenne TV," sagde han. "Tv-selskaber vil kunne fortsætte med at tjene deres samfund med gratis over-the-air lokale nyheder, oplysninger og underholdning, og de ville være i stand til at eksperimentere med mobil-TV". Ubrugte broadcast spektrum kunne være værd at op til USD 50 milliarder, sagde Genachowski. Omkring 300 MHz spektrum er afsat til broadcast TV, men i TV markeder med mindre end 1 millioner mennesker, ca 36 MHz bruges typisk til udsendelse, og selv i de største TV-markeder, kun omkring halvdelen af broadcast spektret er brugt, sagde han. Broadcast TV spektrum i de fleste af USA er "sørgeligt underudnyttet," sagde Chris Guttman-McCabe, vicedirektør for regulatory affairs ved CTIA, en mobil luftfartsselskab trade group. Guttman-McCabe roste Genachowskis forslag, siger det ville frigøre værdifulde frekvenser til trådløst bredbånd. Det er kritisk for FCC finde flere spektrum, sagde Genachowski. AT &amp; T's mobile datatrafik steget med 5.000 procent i de seneste tre år, han sagde. Derudover sagde USA sakker agterud andre lande i bredbånd indtrængning og hastigheder, han. "Med denne plan, vi har en særlig lejlighed til at lægge et fundament for amerikansk lederskab i det enogtyvende århundrede," sagde han. «Hvis vi får det rigtige, bredbånd og navnlig mobile bredbånd, bliver varig motor for skabelse af arbejdspladser og voksende vores økonomi, for udbredelse af viden og øge samfundsmæssigt engagement til fremme en sundere, bæredygtig måde af liv.

Very few computer literate people, if any, could go one year without at least using, if not relying on, Google search or Wikipedia. In addition, Google maps' large database of points of interests, innovative technology, and integration across multiple platforms (such as PC/Mac, iPhone, random software) would also be enough to put it on the list even if you have a stand alone GPS unit such as a Garmin.

Emily Brown • 12 years ago

That was a long list for 2009 you have, how much more for 2010 list surely be needing  a long space for your list. Every year their are changes with our stuffs and with the things that we need to complete or perform our daily tasks and works. It is as simple as you love Madonna during 80's and Mariah Carey during 90's and Katy Perry during 2010... you surely love them all, but you just added new one on your list.

Robin Thehood • 15 years ago

if you decide to update this list, you should consider duckheap.com especially now with everyone being poor, being able to borrow stuff from friends is pretty useful. i use it to find textbooks my friends have.

Dragos • 15 years ago

I replaced http://www.animoto.com with http://www.clipgenerator.com
It also integrates with some of the most popular social neworking sites like MySpace of Facebook

Huh? Do you really? You buy DRM-free MP3s from iTunes? Could you do a post showing me how to do this, because as far as I can tell, iTunes only offers DRM-free AAC files. Not MP3 files.

So please, could you demonstrate how you are able to do this? Because I really would prefer MP3 to AAC, and I am amazed that you have been able to do this.

Justin • 15 years ago

Although I'm sure it'll never reach "can't live without" status, on Jan 1 I launched Today's Free Game (http://todaysfreegame.com/) as a little side project intended to provide people with a little (or sometimes not-so-little) daily diversion.

It's updated at 7AM so everyone should have a new time-killer to check out over their lunch break :)

There are hundreds of free-to-play games out there, but the majority of them are terrible. Hopefully people will see the value in having one good one spotlighted every day.

chris • 15 years ago

1-800-free-411? are you kidding me? 1-800-goog-411 for the win!!! no ads!

Craig Daitch • 15 years ago

Somewhat baffled that Evernote didn't make the list...

Jah • 15 years ago

Only 4 of these are worth keeping. All the other ones suck and are boring and worthless sites.

Top 4

1. Gmail
2. Youtube
3. Facebook
4. Yammer

Twitter is retarded. I just don't get why people feel the need to provide info to others about every move they make. Just seems shallow that people wanna know this info. Here is some advice, get out more and enjoy yourself away from your computer and phone.

Carrie Burrows • 15 years ago

I dislike MySpace and Facebook.

spalm • 15 years ago

Sahil • 15 years ago

looks like your list add on % has decreased...2006 to 2007 then 2007-2008 saw steady growth...2008-2009 only 2. means 2008 was a terrible year for the net.

I would add Spotify.

Paul Maurice Martin • 15 years ago

You mention Technorati in your post... I've used it a lot less since they took out the ability to sort blogs by rank in their advanced search feature about a year ago.

Gary Lavin • 15 years ago

I noticed you are debating between Firefox and Chrome and you use Skype but there is no Skype plugin for Chrome, is that not a deal breaker?

Filip Mares • 15 years ago

I'm a little late on the comments wagon here, but hopefully you're still reading these...

Related to your dropping Netvibes from the list: have you noticed how there's a slight delay in feed content appearing on Google Reader? New items always appear on my Netvibes (and even my MyYahoo!) before they ever show up in my Google Reader scroll. Google must be processing the feed in some way that takes a little bit longer than the other services. It's not a HUGE deal, obviously, but for news junkies every minute and second counts.
