Google Adsense updated its policy two weeks back. The update to the policy now requires every adsense publisher to update his/her individual privacy policies.
Jennifer put up a detailed explanation of the changes in the policy and now provides you with a standard template that you can use.
I’ve got my own privacy policy which is a bit more detailed. Feel free to use the text for your site.

It was about time that this happened!
The dull and dry interface in Gmail just got an enhancement with Group Chat and Emoticons.

Postable is a tiny little online tool from Elliot Swan.
The purpose behind Postable is to help you when you are posting code either on your blog or in a comments field.
Postable converts all the “<” and “>” signs in my code to “<” and “>”, respectively as well as & to “&”. It similarly works to convert your quotes and other HTML Entities.
This is a simple tool with not too many options that just the job. Just remember not to hit the button twice!.

DivShare, the free file hosting site did come with a bang. It did expand quickly due to its easy integration with WordPress as well as Facebook.
However, four days back, in a post at DNForum, DivShare has been put up for sale. It seems more like an auction as the price has not been mentioned and the user has been requesting quotes via PM.
Techcrunch caught on the story, which was originally posted at sitesfs and the news of this has spread. Techcrunch states that the developers of DivShare are silent about the sale.
I haven’t used DivShare much, infact only to host a WordPress Upgrade file (have pulled it off since). Similar is the case with other file sharing services that I reviewed.
What makes me wonder is what happens to all your data in case such a service goes bust. I’ve been using Mozy for all my backups, but my suggestion is to put all your important files on atleast another service or a hard-drive.
