Official Google Blog: Introducing our European 2008 Anita Borg Scholars

A few months ago we had the great pleasure of announcing the fifth class of Anita Borg Scholars in the U.S. and our first class of Scholars in Canada. Now it’s the Europeans’ turn.

But maybe Google will do a better job of providing an actually interesting variety of templates.

Official Google Blog: Templates bring Docs to life

What do wedding planners, gas mileage calculators and photo albums have in common? They’re all examples of templates available in the Google Docs Template Gallery that Sarah Beth Eisinger (Docs Templates engineer), Grant Dasher (intern), and I built and (happily!) released today.

Not in my book.

The official update feed from the Google Apps team: Gmail adds ‘My Contacts’ and ‘Suggested Contacts’

Gmail now ads people you email with to your contact list after several correspondences, rather than after you email someone for the first time. Contacts you add manually or through an import are aslo saved in ‘My Contacts’. People you haven’t had many email exchanges with are auto-added to ‘Suggested Contacts’, and you can move those people to ‘My Contacts’ at any time.
