For all the Bloggers blogging across multiple platforms viz. WordPress, Movable, Blogger etc. it’s gonna be very easy now to switch their data from one platform to another. Thanks to the new OpenSource project from Google known as the Google Blog Converter, bloggers can use it to move their posts from platform to platform.
Here is the official post announcement of the arrival of the Google Blog Converter 1.0 on the Google OpenSource Blog. Supported platforms are LiveJournal, Movable, Blogger and WordPress. The project will still continue to support more platforms. Google has also released templates for hosting the conversions on the Google App Engine.
Here are a few examples hosted on the Google App Engine.
However, there is a catch.
There is a limit to the size of a downloaded file on appspot.com of 1 MB of data. Thus, these hosted applications should only be used for reference or for the conversion of small blog export files. The source code is available . Cheers Bloggers and WordPress Bloggers and the others !

A new add-on for Firefox is on the loose. It’s called Googlepedia and it lets users have Wiki written all over you when you do your Google search. Not really. This addon lets users have the advantage of skipping a click, by showing a wikipedia result to a search on the right hand side of the page.
e.g. If you were searching for “Flights of the Conchords (which is a hilarious band and I love them), the fifth result on page 1 is the wikipedia page for the Band. Now, with this addon installed, you could view the wikipedia result on the right half of your search result page. How cool is that?
Definitely cool for those who wiki a lot (like me). For those who prefer surfing on their own, stay away.
