May 14, 2008 | Filed Under Google, News | 3 Comments

Google Closes Hello (What’s That Anyway?)

May 9, 2008 | Filed Under Google, News, Photos | 2 Comments

I’m reading that Google is closing Hello, which apparently was (and is, as I’m writing this), a photo sharing service that came with Picasa. I guess they feel it doesn’t fill a purpose anymore.
This from Hello.com:
We originally embarked on a mission to make photo sharing easier and more fun with Hello. We plan to keep […]

Will The Blogosphere Suffer From A Microsoft-Yahoo Merger?

April 10, 2008 | Filed Under General, Google, Microsoft, Opinion | 3 Comments

Never since the days of the net bubble has the web held its collective breath (or prepared the popcorn) regarding the Microsoft-Yahoo drama.
The affair has become so large (or bad, depending on your point of view) that non-geeks are even starting to talk about it (at least around this author anyways). But while some argue […]

Who Will Buy DoubleClick’s SEO Services?

April 3, 2008 | Filed Under Advertising, Google | 7 Comments

The official Google blog announced that Google will sell the SEO wing of DoubleClick, since it clashes with what the company does.
It’s clear to us that we do not want to be in the search engine marketing business. Maintaining objectivity in both search and advertising is paramount to Google’s mission and core to the trust […]

May 16, 2008 | By Lorelle VanFossen | 2 Comments

Do you tag yourself? Honestly? No, this is not a game.
With everyone back on the tag versus categories versus tags bandwagon, have you checked to make sure you are tagging yourself?
Inside of Lorelle on WordPress is the tag attribute that turns “Lorelle on WordPress” into a tag.

A BIG Reason to Read a Pet’s Blog
May 16, 2008 | By Andrew G.R. | Leave a Comment

I’ve often taken a snarky approach when it comes to people who set up blogs for their pets. I barely want to read about humans’ mundane lives, let alone issues with litter and pooper scoopers. However, there might be a new reason to subscribe to Lucky, Fido or Buddy’s blog.
Animals’ ability to prognosticate […]

Yahoo Nabs Safari Plugin Inquisitor
May 16, 2008 | By Thord Daniel Hedengren | Leave a Comment

Inquisitor is a cool plugin for Safari, and now Yahoo owns it. The developer, David Watanabe, won’t be joining Yahoo, but will continue the development.
I look forward to assisting Yahoo! in refining and extending the Inquisitor user experience beyond where it is today. I truly believe that Inquisitor and its users can only benefit, both […]

Google the New Number 1 in the US
May 16, 2008 | By Thord Daniel Hedengren | Leave a Comment

I thought they were already, but obviously not so. Google has been the leading search engine, but overall Yahoo is the most popular web site according to ComScore’s rankings. No more though, according to an AP report:
According to comScore, Google’s unique U.S. audience in April was 141.1 million, an 18 percent increase from the same […]

Blogging from the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center
May 16, 2008 | By Thord Daniel Hedengren | Leave a Comment

Stephanie Stockman is a NASA contractor working at the Goddard Space Flight Center, which is cool by itself.
