Worried about robots taking over the world? Don’t be. They are our friends—especially the mini-robots mentioned in the MyBlogLog Blog. With the help of mini-robots, it’s really easy to refresh the thumbnail screenshot of your site on MyBlogLog. These new mini-robots take little screenshots of your site and upload it to your MyBlogLog community page. They may sound cute, but don’t underestimate their power. In fact, I for one welcome our new mini-robot overlords, I mean, mini-robot helpers.
Finally, the Yahoo! Developer Blog unveiled a sneak peak of the new BrowserPlus platform this week. The BrowserPlus platform, according to the blog, extends the Web. Among other things, that means you can add or update Web services without even restarting your browser. Some of the features that exist in the platform include:
• Drag-and-drop from the desktop
• Client-side image manipulation (cropping, rotation and filters)
• Desktop notifications
