directeur creator of feedego has launched Noiseriver.
Its a friendfeed application that has filtering for stories. Just like feedego, its powered by Google App Engine. I really like the way friendfeeds interface is designed, and I'm glad to see that Noiseriver is as good as the original.
Louisgray has a much more detailed writeup.

Steve Yegge at Google I/O talks about Rhinos and Tigers
Steve Yegge has a Google IO talk titled:
Server-side Javascript on the Java Virtual Machine
I didn't post the video here, because they have a nice setup at the link above, where they have the talk and the slides together. So check out the link above.
Steve also blogged a transcription of the talk on his blog where he renamed the talk:
Rhinos and Tigers

Emacs Tip: A Key to open the Current Folder in Finder
After reading Aruns tip on opening current folder in explorer, I had to create something similar for OS X.
Here it is:
(defun finder ()
"Launch the Finder in the current directory"
(interactive)
(shell-command "open .")
)
(global-set-key [f6] 'finder)
I placed this in my .emacs config file. Its currently set to F6, but you can change it to whatever key you'd like. I'm using Carbon Emacs. Its rough, and I haven't used it much but it seems to work.

Google Accounts scares me!
Google accounts has been scaring me of late. Its basically the account to which all your google stuff is linked. Services such as Adsense, Gmail, Google reader, GTalk, Search History, and PicasaWeb are a few I use. New services like feedego are using Google Accounts to authenticate.
A friend of mine recently had his account broken into, and a personal chat was broadcast via his gmail account to a close group of friends. He called me asking if I could help. The email was sent via Gmail, mostly to people on Gmail. I can't get any useful information from IP's that are internal to Gmail (10.x.x.x addresses). Their is no account history which could show you login or logout times or locations. We couldn't tell if my friend had forgotten to log out of a machine. Had his password been compromised? Was one of his machines compromised?
After reading stories such as this and this, I can't believe that Google doesn't provide any more information for your account. Scary.
BTW, feedego seems like a promising service. Its built on Google App Engine. Try it out.
