Microsoft has launched a new beta ‘Interactive Gas Finder’ on MSN. The new page uses Bing Maps to let you easily view current prices in your area or scroll across the map when planning a trip to see where the best gas prices are. The new MSN Gas Prices Beta page can be found here . The page works equally well with most major browsers including Internet Explorer, Firefox and Google’s Chrome and Apple’s Safari.

One of my biggest beefs with Yahoo’s MyBlogLog’s latest blog widget was the ‘follower count’ …. but I missed seeing who was visiting the blog (and honestly I don’t care what the count is if you’re enjoying reading) …. It just looks lame to have double digits?! In reality, the blog world has significantly changed in the last six months, so even if I don’t blog every day like ‘the good old days’, I’m still here and I like the implementation Ian Kennedy oversaw at Yahoo! before heading to greener pastures (at Nokia). Ian, like many others, were frequent visitors here back then which helped the blog gain credibility. (Wow … Two mentions of Yahoo! in one day!? 
…. On the Google ‘Friend Connect’ front … It’s no secret that I have a lot of ‘Google’ in my portfolio. Same complaint here though … A little slow out of the gate with Friend Connect, and unless you spend a small portion of your life networking day and night, your follower count may look …well … cruddy. So … here we go again. They’re both back in the very lower right hand margin. Why? I’m curious what happens taking them back live at this juncture and combining them with the ongoing experiment with the very cool Wibiya beta bar at the bottom. Another day …. another experiment. Great weekend all. Charlie

TweetDeck has rolled out yet another new version – Version 0.30.1. Some of the new additions to the TweetDeck landscape: 1) The online TweetDeck (Beta) Directory makes it easy to find people you may want to follow by category going beyond the limited (and somewhat controversial) ‘SUL’ (or Suggested User List) and …. the directory’s individual categories can be added to your Tweetdeck client with one click from the web. (Kinda cool 2) The new version of TweetDeck adds support for MySpace. There are other changes including drag and drop for links and photos and improved support for Facebook. The complete list can be found at the company blog here . You can download the latest (free) version of TweetDeck here .
