Drag & Drop to Save attachments

Adam de Boor, (Software Engineer) Say's

Dragging and dropping files is an easy way to save time in Gmail. We've previously blogged about dragging files to upload as attachments and dragging images into new messages. Now, if you're using Google Chrome, you can also drag attachments out of messages you receive to save them to your computer.

Let's say you have an email open containing an attachment. Hover your mouse over the attachment's "Download" link or its file icon and a tooltip appears that says: "Click to view OR drag to your desktop to save."


Simply click and hold, then drag your cursor to anywhere in your file system that you want to save the file. Release the mouse button, and voilà! Your attachment is saved (for large files, you may see a progress dialog).

Easier way to make money using Viglink

Guest post by Oliver Roup, VigLink CEO
(Oliver Roup is the CEO and co-founder of VigLink, a content monetization company backed by Google Ventures.)

If you spend as much time working on your blog as we do, you wonder if there's a way to get paid. Many bloggers monetize by selling ads on their site but now there is a way to get paid for your actual content rather than just the ads that go around it.

Goto VigLink

Any time you write about a product or service, you're connecting your audience to that product. If someone makes a purchase, the seller benefits from your written word—you influenced a purchase. There are thousands of websites that will pay you a fee for any business you bring them through a form of online advertising called affiliate marketing. With affiliate ads, web publishers are compensated for driving online actions.

VigLink is a content monetization company that makes affiliate marketing very easy for bloggers. We offer a simple snippet of code you can install in your blog that automatically and transparently does all the work for you. We've catalogued and signed up for more than 12,500 affiliate programs and we collect all the performance information and deliver you a single integrated payment. In return, VigLink takes 25% of the incremental revenue you earn.

There are no other costs or fees and nothing changes about how your site looks or behaves. Join VigLink and enroll your blog in less than a minute or learn more by watching this two minute video.

Picasa photo challenge goes to Europe!

Christina Lin, (Picasa Forum GuidePost content) Say's

Last fall, as northern hemisphere-dwellers were enjoying the picturesque crisp days of autumn, we had an idea to host an Autumn photo challenge to uncover the hidden talents of the Picasa community. We were excited by the creativity and skill that our Picasa lovers displayed in our gallery — see for yourself!

On a recent visit to Europe, we were so impressed with the architectural variety of the historical and contemporary buildings there that we were inspired to host the first Picasa Photo Challenge in Europe. We invited Dutch, French, German, Polish and Spanish communities to show off their best photo of architecture. Our Picasa community in Europe impressed and delighted us all. Unfortunately we could only choose one winner for each language group. The most 'liked' picture won the challenge and they are proudly featured on our Featured Photos page.

We want to thank all of our European users for their enthusiastic participation and a send a big congratulations to the winners!

[ORKUT] Wish U Happy Friendship Day :)

Rodrigo Paiva, (orkut operations team) Say's

Friendship is the essence of orkut, and what better way to celebrate it than with a doodle for International Friendship Day?

Take a look at your friends list on orkut. Is there anyone you haven't talked to in a while? Send them a quick scrap and let them know you're thinking about them. Or, even better, set up a video chat so that you can hang out with them face-to-face.

Recently, we've launched a bunch of different features that we hope have made it easier for you to make new friends and keep in touch with the people you already know and care about. We're always open to new ideas of ways orkut could be even 'friendlier' (excuse the pun), so if you've got suggestions, be sure to let us know.

Hope you enjoy the day and thanks for being such a good friend to orkut!
