Week In Review, News From The Internet

I have been using Twitter some lately, so it caught my eye and the eyes of many in the tech community when Google purchased Jaiku, a competitor of Twitter. I was wondering why they didn’t buy Twitter instead, but I think it simply has to do with the fact that Jaiku had a little better [...]

Microsoft and Facebook, Myspace Shows Muscle, Wordpress 2.3

This week, the LinkedIn.com service has said they plan to add the ability to add photos to your profile. LinkedIn is the business-oriented social networking site. It’s a cool site, but quite frankly it moves at a turtle’s compared to other networks. Besides, the other networks had photo capability a long time ago. But, hey, [...]

If you are a user of Google Reader, we welcome a couple new enhancements to the mix. First, you can now SEARCH your feeds. Awesome.

As I work away this week on a big client job as well as on some strategic things on PCMech, I thought I would do a good, old fashioned link love post on WebbyOnline today. And I thought I’d give it a cute little “Top 10″ title for all those linkbaiters out there. Eat your [...]

So, looking out into the internet, what’s going on this week? For those of you who may be running a blog on Wordpress.com, something new is available to you.
