ThruIT

With the holiday season fast approaching many of us will soon begin frantically searching the internet to find the cheapest airfare available to book that last minuet trip back home. In the past, when I’ve begun my search I’ve always went to Kayak.com . Kayak does a great job of scraping almost every airline website and sites similar to it such as Hotwire, Expedia and Travelocity. Even though I know Kayak is searching all of these sites for me, even after it gives me the best available rate, I’m still always left with the question “If I buy this ticket tomorrow will it be cheaper?”. Up until this point there has been no easy way to answer this question without testing your luck and holding off on purchasing your ticket… until today.

So they may not be as cool as Google Wave invites these days, but we at ThruIT blog just got our hands on some invites for Google Voice. The service is pretty cool and its continually being improved upon. Send and receive phone calls, voicemails, and text messages all from your personalized FREE vanity google voice number. Mine is ###-4-KIEVIT. Also, the voicemails are transcribed; although that feature isn’t perfect, its helpful in meetings to get a gist of what the person needed.

Google Wave. Its the all the craze these days. If you still don’t know what it is, I suggest taking a look at this post by Mashable. Its pretty cool, but I’m not going to lie, Google has a lot of work that they need to do on it still. It seems like everyone is interested in getting on and seeing what its like and since I have had the good luck of receiving some invites, I would like to share the wealth with you in celebration of ThruIT.com’s new blog release.

The gold standard in the browser world: Internet Explorer. Some of us may want to puke in our mouths hearing that, but its true, the statistics don’t lie and according to w3schools.com, last year IE accounted for an average of 57.88% of browsers. Of course Mozilla Firefox is next in the lead at 34% and the good news is this year so far we have seen Firefox increase by at least 10%.

We have all seen Google come out with great services and success of these can even be shown by the company’s stock price of 315.76 (up 5.18% even with the current market status). Chrome currently accounts for 3.1% of the market and that is just while it is in its beta stage. That is more then Apple’s Safari (2.7%), which has been released for a good deal of time now.

Google, the company that seems to think of everything, has always been lacking something… a to-do list feature. Having to use another website for a to-do list or emailing your to-do list to yourself isnt really practical and its really something that needed to be added to either Google’s mail or calendar applications.
