Floss better than toothpaste??

So I was at at the dentist last week and I heard some surprising news about flossing. So apparently brushing and mouthwash alone will kill about 40 percent of the germs in our mouth. That 99.9 percent of germs Listerine claims is in a dish. Flossing on the other hand will kill 60 percent of the germs in your mouth. Why the discrepancy? Floss is cheap! Companies would lose so much money trying to sell a 75 cent piece of thread to the masses. She wasn't trying to down play brushing and rinsing - she wanted to emphasize the importance of flossing. So she recommended I floss before I brush.

So if you are on the go and could only take either floss or a toothbrush, choose the floss.

Google doing a good Job

Mashups are getting nicer and nicer.  Google released has a mobile application that allows you to see my friends locations and status messages via google maps.  The website says that the application is available right now on Android phone, BlackBerry devices, windows Mobile devices. This will be released to iPhone users through Google's Mobile App.  (Probably an Android vs iPhone competitor delay)

There are some privacy concerns of course but Google made a valiant effort to address these.  There must be a handshake between friends in order to share locations.  You are allowed to set privacy levels (hidden, city or best) in order to duck from those stalkers you have.

Now parents will be stalking their children from any where, and kids will be switching sim cards with friends.
