I received an email from my friend and fellow MVP Jack Cook about his site having moved to a new domain after spammers exploited a vulnerability (Read Jack’s statement below). Both the site and the database have been littered with spams and Jack had to start fresh. His blog is now at http://experiencemobility.net. If you subscribed to Jack’s feed, please update to http://experiencemobility.net/?feed=rss2.
Good luck with the new site, Jack.
“Sad but true, I’m starting over after finding that Experience Mobility was infiltrated with a serious amount of hidden SPAM within my blog. Evidently there was a vulnerability that was exploited at sometime and no matter what I did to remove it, it kept coming back. I suppose I could have left it there but it was just the point of having it that bothered me. Because it was not only in the blog but was also riddled through my database, it was decided that the best tact to take was to start fresh.
So what about all my previous posts and reviews? I am not going to make an attempt to retrieve the old posts but over time, I will try to bring back my reviews but that will be a time consuming project and I am thinking it may well be a great Winter project”.
As we get more and more connected and our devices get smarter, it’s great to see new services/products being released to keep us in sync with and manage our data. Vito Technology today announced the availability of Task2Gather, a free Web 2.0-based online service that lets you manage your Tasks. Unless I’m wrong, this is the first ever online service offering Tasks management service. The others out there tend to focus more on Contacts, Calendar, E-mails etc. Task2Gather is an innovative service which I recommend you try. For personal or professional use, Task2Gather can prove handy wherever you are.
Press Release
VITO Technology is proud to present Task2Gather - a brand-new free service for online task management. Task2Gather is one place for all your tasks and projects: family, social, business, and private. Task2Gather lets you put your tasks online and invite family members, colleagues, or clients to participate and achieve common goals.
Our guiding criteria for developing Task2Gather were simplicity, high performance, sharing, flexibility and mobility. As a result there has been developed a completely unique service applicable for successful collaboration practically in any sphere of life.
Simplicity. Task2Gather is so simple you can use it as a shopping list or as a to-do list and enjoy advantages of the online accessibility of this information at the same time. Task2Gather offers you unbelievably easy start as there is no need for training, reading manuals, or other time consuming activities. Sign up takes literally a couple of seconds and after this you see self-explanatory clear interface with useful tips for next steps.
Flexibility. Task2Gather can be used literally anywhere. It can equally well serve students, social service, construction teams, small businesses, and housewives. Task2Gather allows you to organize all your tasks & projects exactly the way you like. You can see yourself using Task2Gather for your work when in fact you started to use it for managing your personal tasks.
Sharing. Task2Gather is even more useful for collaboration and team-work. To invite somebody to a project you need to type in their email and press invite. After invitees logs in to their Task2Gather account they see not only their own projects & tasks but also the projects & tasks you have shared with them. Now you can assign each other responsible for particular tasks and start achieving your common goal.
High performance.Task2Gater for desktop computers is entirey web-based application (like Google Dos)… but you will never notice it. It works very fast and steadily.
Mobility. The soon coming Task2Gather clients for iPhone and Windows Mobile will prove that online task management can be as easy as a shopping/to-do list and very efficient at the same time.
Sign up for Task2Gather at www.task2gather.com. Task2Gather is a completely free service available on any computer with Internet access. It will be later available via paid subscription with more advanced features.

Opera released a bug fix for Opera Mobile 9.5 beta 1. Since I've installed the beta version, I've lost notification sounds for new emails and text messages. I'm going to apply the fix to see if that solves the problem.
Now, I hope Opera will resolve major issues soon, like the out of memory probably which does not exist in the previous version. Support for Javascript will also be much appreciated. Read more on Opera’s blog: http://my.opera.com/operamobile/blog/2008/07/29/updated-beta1
