I just noticed when I logged into my AT&T U-verse e-mail account that I can now chat with Windows Live contacts from within Yahoo! Mail.
I thought this was a nice feature, and even interesting that it has been worked on and released within such close time frame to the hostile takeover bid by […]
I’ve been spending more and more time in the Web 2.0 world and immersing myself in more social networking applications. One of the most popular right now is twitter.
I got to thinking recently though about why it is Microsoft couldn’t develop an application like twitter?
I don’t think it’s because Microsoft doesn’t have any really […]
Plenty of news over the past few days about Microsoft’s purchase of aQuantive and whether or not that impacts their willingness to continue pursuing Yahoo or other possible opportunities for them to get involved with in the future.
My question though is whether or not aQuantive was the right purchase. Granted, I no MBA or business […]
Did you know that Google has a specific search function that only searches Microsoft related websites for the information?
I’m guessing the functionality works similar to Rollyo, in that they’ve picked a group of sites that focus on Microsoft information and search for your request among this specific group.
What I’m not able to figure out is […]
Microsoft missed the opportunity to purchase DoubleClick, which I had written about before. Lo and behold, look who bought them instead, good ol’ Google! “Bought” might be using the word a little lightly too, more like Google came in, opened up the war chest coffers and slammed the money bags down on the board room table […]
A little bit of rumbling in the acquisitions department at Microsoft today. Or at least we can expect there to be with recent news stories about Microsoft putting its eyes on online advertising company DoubleClick. Could this be what Microsoft needs to help it put up a better fight against Google’s AdSense and Yahoo’s online advertising revenue streams?
The DoubleClick […]
It seems I’ve been immersed in “Favorite” frustration today. I was recently strong-armed into upgrading my Yahoo! Toolbar and the wonderfully efficient arrangement of favorite websites I had been using for quite awhile.
Now I’ve begun looking at other options for managing my internet favorites. I’m nowhere close to relying on the bookmarks being stored locally […]
Can you believe it? Google is now capitalized and valued at more than half the value of Microsoft. On the one hand I can believe that the potential for Google to continue making serious cash is huge. If you ever doubt it, just think about what Google really makes money from, advertising. Okay, got that […]
b5media just announced they’ve incorporated Google’s Custom Search into their main page. This allows visitors to search across all of b5media’s blogs for information they need.
IE7 makes it super easy to incorporate your Google Custom Searches into your IE7 and search your favorite sites from anywhere, which I talked about on Emerging Earth. What’s even […]
For anyone interested, looks like there’s going to be another beta version release of 3 sometime this summer. I’m not really interested really. Unless they shrink the UI along the top, it just doesn’t work for me. I’ve become greatly attached to Firefox and am more than happy with it, and if I want tabs […]
