LOST TIME
- Rabindranath Tagore –
On many an idle day have I grieved over lost time.
But it is never lost, my lord.
Thou hast taken every moment of my life in thine own hands.

It’s a plug-in for Firefox and Chrome to replace ads sidebar in Gmail by social information such as profile, photos, links, recent Tweets of your contacts (friends, colleagues,…)
About privacy, you do not need to worry. You don’t need to offer your account password because you login via secure Google Federated Login, or OpenID. But it does access the contents of your email – that’s how it builds a service for you to use. Since it scans email address to fetch with other service, then bring back information according to that email, I think they (owner’s service) may store the data somehow in database. No warranty that they don’t use the data for their secret purpose B-) But no one can keep their privacy completely in the Internet. Like Google, any Gmail user know clearly that Google scans email content to fetch appropriate ads. So it’s no need to worry when you’re just a normal user.
Simply browse to http://rapportive.com/ to install the plug-in and begin to experience this new awesome service.
Here’s an example of how it looks like. The red square box is where Rapportive brings info to you.
This question came into my mind recently. Just 2-3 days ago, to download an ebook in a forum, I had to create a user account. It’s quite inconvenient. I think if someone wants to share their resource how can they make people to register an account to see the download link! Actually, whenever I meet a situation like that, well, I really feel annoying and instead of being thankful to that kind person, I just want to “Merdes” (jz kidding, I’m not that kind of person:).
The first time I heard about Tatty Teddy (Me to You bear) was when someone asked me whether I know where to buy it (since at that time I managed a small online shop for buying Korean stuff). When I looked up about it, I also found a meaningful story of that bear. Don’t remember whether I cried when read the story or not, but I’m sure that it really affect my emotion.
