MICRO-CLIENT INTERFACES: I have been a big fan of micro-client's and Google's Tool Bar was the first client that I installed.  It was lightweight, provided really useful functionality, and made the whole notion of searching that much easier. The other day I fired up IE and was delighted to find two new enhancements.  First, Google has embedded a pop-up blocker that blocks those unwanted popup windows.  I first noticed it when I went to CNN.com and the annoying popup was stopped in it's tracks.  The UI surfaced the block as shown above, which also led my eyes to the BLOGGER logo.  It seems (although I'm a Radio user) that I can promote things I find directly to Blogger.  Quite nice. 11:48:31 AM
