Here goes:
  1. How to Raise a Charitable Child? - I'm happy this post was popular. I try to pepper the website with a few articles other than technology, especially on raising great kids since I've started so late, myself.  Is it off topic?  Not if I define the topic.
  2. Big Boy Competition for Google Docs and Zoho Office Coming from Microsoft - Pretty straight news with a snarky title.  Microsoft moving some of Office to the web is consistent with stories about web services that we normally cover.
  3. You Tube Challenge: Make an Actually Good Video - The Onion -  Straight satire.  Very funny and on-topic to the extent that I've found humor in the mania for watching YouTube before. Do readers like satire better than straight articles? We do get our news from Jon Stewart.
  4. Making Picasa and Flickr Play Nicely Together - Straight "how to" article, useful if you've tried to make these two work together.
  5. Our Two Worst Posts of October and one (dis)honorable mention – Enquiring Mimes Last month we picked our worst posts of October. Readers must like to share our humiliation. Q:Write more bad articles? Probably.
  6. XMind Mind-mapping is Now Open Source A short review and download link of a good previously, for sale, now free tool. I like free things.
  7. Read It Later, A Must-have Firefox Plug-in Good short review for a Firefox plug-in, if you're using Firefox. Our November stats say that your probably were using Firefox more than any other browser. More plug-in info?

Good for consumers, Microsoft is going to support the Firefox and Safari browsers in addition to Microsoft’s own Internet Explorer. The online applications will be available to end-users through the Microsoft Office Live service which has ad-funded and subscription options. While a survey done on ReadWriteWeb earlier this year showed that the majority of that site’s visitors still used the Microsoft Office desktop application for their word processing and spreadsheet needs, there has been growing online competition to the behemoth office suite from the free online suites by Google and Zoho. We’ve written about the Google and Zoho offerings repeatedly.  It will be interesting to see whether Microsoft will be able to compete online, in the arena they have owned for so long, with the more nimble Zoho and Google. via ReadWriteWeb
