msnbc.com has launched a new online application to view the news. The new tool is called Spectra and provides the user with an interactive 3D way to thumb through the news provided on msnbc.com. I’ve played around with the tool a little bit and think it’s pretty cool.  I wish you could add other sites besides just msnbc, but cool none the less.  Check it out here.

I’m currently trying out a new online application called Dropbox.  You can install Dropbox on your PC (or MAC) and it integrates itself as a folder within Windows Explorer, making it very easy to drag-and-drop files into dropbox, whereby making those files accessible from the web.  To get to your files from a different computer all you need to do is go to www.getdropbox.com, log in and select the files that you would like to work with.  I’ve just used it for a few days but so far I’ve been happy with what I’ve seen.

This utility lets you set up reminders, to-do lists, send email, write blogs and more all with your voice. Seems like a neat idea…if it works…
