4square&7yearsago: Fun way to start the day with nostalgia
Got my first email from 4square&7yearsago this morning, which sends you your foursquare check-ins from a year before, each day. Today's reminded me of a delicious sushi lunch and a great night with my old friend and entertainment industry mogul, Angel Sepulveda. This is kinda fun.

Greplin: Search all your data streams at once [Video]
A number of services are taking different angles at creating feeds and searches of our overwhelmingly increasing data that we're creating with a multitude of platforms around our digital lives. On my computer, Alfred is the best that I've found for searching apps, files, contacts and the web simultaneously. This morning, thanks to Netted, I discovered Greplin, which enables you to search your email, calendars, Facebook, Twitter and a number of other services all at once. The future is being developed every day...and I like it.

Finally: Create HTML Signatures on Your iPhone
I've been waiting a while for this. The best part is that I created several different signatures, so I can finally use a different one for each of my email accounts on my iPhone/iPad. It's not always ideal to have the same info on business and personal emails. No idea why Apple didn't just include this in the OS originally, but we're getting there...No doubt you’ve long ago changed the default, a-little-too-smug “Sent from my iPhone” signature that Apple saw fit to give you. After all, you alread know about how mobile e-mail signatures can hurt your business relationships, right?
Since you’ve changed your iPhone’s signature anyway, perhaps you’d like it to be more like the one on your desktop mail client — you know, with graphics and links. If so, no problem. I’ve got a free, simple way to enhance your iPhone’s mail capabilities to support a real HTML e-mail signature.
Just visit the iPhone Signature Creator and fill out the form. (Suggestion: It’s easiest to do this on your desktop Web browser.) Enter all the information you want to appear in your signature and then plug in a 4-digit PIN that you’ll need to use once when yo set it up on the iPhone.
After you submit the form, you can send it to your iPhone’s e-mail inbox. Tap the link and add the resulting Web page to your home screen (tap the plus symbol at the bottom of the screen, and then tap Add to Home Screen).
Now, wherever you want to create an e-mail with our custom HTML signature, tap the Web app you copied to your home screen. It’ll automatically open a blank e-mail message and add the signature for you.

I'm loving Priority Inbox and this makes it even better.
Access Gmail's Priority Inbox on Your Mobile Device
Want access to Gmail's fancy new Priority Inbox sorting on your portable browser? You can view the messages you've trained Gmail to consider Priority through a simple email search bookmarked for later.
The search, as web PR consultant Steve Rubel reveals, uses Gmail's now-reserved "priority" label to pull up your messages. Load up mobile Gmail through your browser, then hit the Search button and look for this string:
label:important in:inbox
I added
is:unreadto my own search, because I usually don't want to dig through older emails when I'm checking my inbox on the go. Update: An earlier version of this post had an incorrect label tag for the Gmail search. Apologies for any misfired bookmarks.Once the search is complete, and you've got your messages pulled up, bookmark that search in your browser, and keep it handy on your smartphone home screen, if possible. You won't be able to "train" the Priority Inbox from this mobile view, but it does offer the same kind of important/not-so-important separation of Gmail's web interface that's really handy.
