Free shipping from stores

Will you buy more from a brick and mortar shop if they provide free shipping for your gift from the store? Is there a business opportunity for a service provider ? Let me know if somebody provides this.

Should not google reader and blogger integrate ?

i am not sure if there is any blog / rss reader which also allows you to blog from the similar interface. i do not know why industry has looked blog reading and blogging as two different activities ? why they should not be combined ......

Key board short cuts in web sites..

People like to use keyboard short cuts than mouse clicks as they grow familiar with a tool or a software . For example, as I started becoming familiar with MS Office in my early days of computer use, I started using more and more of the keyboard. I also created my own custom shortcuts too.

In the web, one sees few keyboard shortcuts. But recently when I started using Google Reader - which strictly speaking is an application rather than a website- I started using the shortcuts to move from posting to posting as well as viewing the original site. This greatly improved my experience of using the tool.

This makes me wonder why website should not provide key board short cuts. It might be impossible to have a short cut for each link on the a web page - but there should be some innovative way to assign shortcuts.
