AllPeers allows you to share your files privately and securely and with who you choose. AllPeers is part of a new breed of P2P file sharing where you can specify who can access your shared content.
Since AllPeers is a Firefox extension the set up is a very easy. Once it is installed all that is required is that you create an account using a valid email address.
Once you’re set up you can add contact either by their AllPeers username or email address.
Gmail Manager is a very handy tool that allows you to monitor multiple Gmail accounts all from with in Firefox.
What I like is that I can see what’s in my Gmail at a glance.
What I don’t like is that when I hover over the tray icon it display a list of unread messages but when I move the mouse over the list of email the list disappears.
Other wise if your using Gmail and Firefox that you should be using Gmail Manager.

Sorry, for that lack of any posts this month but I have been busy working on other projects. So what are these other projects?
The first project is Top Secret but when it’s in tune it’s going to score.
Then there’s phpYahoo which I have been plugging away at.
At some point a few weeks ago Facebook released an updated API so I have been toying with that as well as working on a new WordPress Widget for RememberTheMilk. So far both of these projects haven’t gotten very far.
This brings me back to phpYahoo and the OurCity Mashup form Yahoo! I got the bright Idea that I could build a similar app using Yahoo! (Answers, Travel etc), del.icio.us, Flickr and UpComing.org. Again I have nothing to publicly show for it.
Oh and that reminds me I started another project to build an UpComing.org class library.
And lastly theres the Last.fm class that may actually be releasable.
So, I have been doing stuff just nothing I am ready to share except for phpYahoo.
I have started a Google Projects Page for my phpYahoo project as well as a new demo site.
I did some extensive work on the class recently by adding caching as well as expanding the search functions to allow searching by either a single string parameter or and array of parameters.

phpYahoo is a class written in PHP5 that act’s as a wrapper for Yahoo’s! Web Search API. Methods process the response XML and return an array of data to make development easier. With this class you can search for Yahoo! Web content, Yahoo! Videos or Yahoo! Images.
This class follows a similar pattern like phpNapster class.

I just found this Firefox Extension: Poster which allows you to interact/test HTTP Requests to Web Services.
For instance suppose you want to test a query using Yahoo’s Search Web Services but you don’t want to go through the hassle of either hacking some code or using my handy phpYahoo Class. What you can do is set up the query in Poster and let it deal with the heavy lifting.
