When you add a project, Verb will ask you to enter the title and a short description of the project. Once you do this, you will have the project listed in your Projects tab.

You can then add a task by going to the Tasks tab and adding a task. You need to enter the task name, description, project (to which this task need to be added), set Tags, due date and priority (as Critical, Todo and Maybe). You could also choose Quick Add and just enter the name of the task. Once you add a task to the project, you can see it from the Tasks tab or the Dashboard, arranged as per priority.

iPhone Application

So far, Verb is only accessible via the Web app on the computer, but an iPhone app is under development and would be released soon.

If you need simple and elegant project management, then Verb is a great option.

Lets take a look at the features:

Instant Upload

Need to just share a file quickly? Just head to Upload Robots and choose the file you want to upload. You can upload a file upto 10MB and share it right away.

Account

There are two types of accounts - Free and Pro.

A Free account comes with 4GB of space and 10MB upload limit for each file.

A Pro account comes with 120GB of space with upload limit of 250MB per file. Pro account also has 30% faster uploads, 128 bit SSL encryption, Custom sub-domain (username.uploadrobots.com) and customizable sharing links. It all costs just $5 a month.

Here is a screenshot of Manage Account where you can see your account details and also change your password:

Files

When you upload files, they go to Recent Uploads, then you can click on “Create group” to create folders and drag files from Recent Uploads to the folder of your choice. You can glance all your groups, files, sizes and format from the page and delete any file you want with just a click.

Preview

You can select any file from the Files page and get a preview of the file, along with File size, type, upload date and the link for sharing. If you are a Pro user, you can also customize the link by editing it.

That’s about it! You can upload and share files easily and quickly using a great interface. Upload Robots is new and there are many more features that can be expected in the future.

Many new online file sharing services startup and allow massive amount of space, but it all costs great bandwidth and leads to either shutting down the service or making it a paid service. Unless it is well structured. And losing your uploaded stuff can be really annoying as links start breaking. So if you have your own website with a hosting account, this app can be of great use. Just drag files to the dock icon and its uploaded to your server with the URL in the clipboard! You can also use bit.ly shortner to automatically shorten URLs for tweeting or just easy sharing.

The app is new and has limited features, but I expect more updates with new features like menu bar integration, more URL shortening options and advanced preferences.

ICANN was criticized for delays in intentional domain name arrivals and slow to adapt measures useful to adapt browsing in other countries. But now with the new affirmation, those are expected to be overcome.

One big change brought by this is domain names in international languages. By next year, top-level domains in international languages will be available. So you could get your domain in Chinese or Russian.

Everyone was expecting a tablet from Apple. But HP has come up with their new Dream Screen tablet. It does not run Windows or Linux, but uses its own platform that can play music and videos, open photos, and run web apps like weather, facebook, etc. It comes in 10 inches (US$ 249) and 13 inches (US$ 299) and 2GB internal memory along with a HP version of Apple Remote with volume and navigation buttons. You can also hook up Memory cards and USB drives and copy content.

Personally, I think it definitely needs a web browser! and a Video-out or HDMI port. This will be useful to connect it to a LCD display to watch movies and movies from a USB hard drive. That’s what I use my Mac mini for. A DVD drive is also welcome, it will then also act as a complete media center solution. And as HP has an AppStore for their Printers, they can also release apps for this device and it will be perfect.

Releasing October 11th. Buy Now: 10 inch | 13 inch

If your question is “Should I get Postbox?”, then read on… If you just need a basic POP3/IMAP mail client to send plain and HTML mails, then Thunderbird is just fine. But if you are a power-user and want the Advanced search, Tabs, Auto-complete, ToDo lists and the cool Add-ons, then you can consider getting a license.

Personally, I think the price is a bit more and something like $19.99 could have been more appropriate. For that price I would consider getting Postbix and moving from Apple Mail.

I really wanted to write this post from a long time. But with lack of Blogging time, I was covering more of current issues. I just read about Government sites implementing OpenID and even Facebook is doing it, so I said I will write this post at once. There have been similar posts over the course of time, but now this topic is getting more interesting. So here it goes…

As the internet is growing at a rapid pace and everything is heading to the cloud, the number of website memberships increase. Right from E-mail, Online Banking, Shopping, Forums, Blogs and of course Social Networking. With so many login credentials to remember, OpenID came up with the strategy of 1 login for all websites. You can use your OpenID to login to your E-Mail, Online Banking, Shopping, Forum, Blogs and Social sites. This is indeed a great way to go. You also have several OpenID providers to choose from, so you can get OpenIDs of your choice.

However, with the advent of Facebook, things began to change. Almost the whole internet is on Facebook posting updates. And there comes Facebook Connect, Facebook’s service that allows users to connect to other websites with their Facebook login credentials. In short, Facebook’s OpenID. Facebook Connect is getting really popular with more and more websites implementing it.

This leaves us with the question, What about OpenID? OpenID started this venture so it is obviously dominant. Even Facebook is adopting OpenID on their site! Recent news also say that Government sites will allow logins with OpenID. I will really not be surprised if Government sites allow Facebook Connect for login over a period, but that’s another thing.

So here is my view. No matter how its shown that Facebook Connect and OpenID are different, they are the same! And that makes them rivals. It is studied as a complicated relationship. Here is a chart by ReadWriteWeb, take a look.
