What Progress Has Google Made With Youtube In The Last 6 Months?
Many pundits predicted when Google acquired Youtube that a number of distribution deals would be signed with major content houses which would legitimise the service and allow Youtube to serve Google adverts alongside videos.
However, 6 months later very few deals have materialised and the big news this month instead has been Viacom’s billion dollar lawsuit, [...]
When Should Bloggers Register TradeMarks?
There have been quite a few major spats over the last year or so over trademarks including Apple Vs Apple, Apple (again) and Cisco arguing over who owned the rights to iPhone, and Google being blocked from using the Gmail name in Europe to name a few.
These arguments tend to involve big companies squaring up [...]

Microsoft And Yahoo Agree Instant Messaging Deal
Microsoft and Yahoo! are expected to announce later on today that their two instant messaging programs will become interoperable. A combined 49.2 million users worldwide will be able to chat and talk to each other for free - very close to AOL’s 51.5 million.
For years the three companies have been talking about allowing interoperability, [...]
Google Voice/IM Service Using Jabber To Launch Soon?
It seems that there may be some truth to the rumours that Google is looking into building a IM/VoIP client. The domain talk.google.com is live and directs to www.google.com/talk/ which gives a 404 error.I’m expecting a service using Jabber similar to AOL’s allowing Google’s messenger to communicate with all the other big services - [...]

Broadband wars - just Speed Vs Price?
The broadband war will soon intensify in the UK as LLU allows operators like Wanadoo, AOL and Tiscali to offer their own products with speeds in excess of 8Mb and with the cable operators also planning on trialling high-speed services.
However, for those users who have already been tempted to Bulldog’s 8Mb service it hasn’t been [...]
Gmail Storage Creeps Up To 2351Mb
My Gmail account is now showing 2351MB capacity. I’m not sure if Google are deliberately increasing the space available per mailbox or if the system just calculates the total space available divided by the number of accounts.
I still haven’t made the switch over to Gmail is it doesn’t allow me to POP my other [...]
AOL Journals - the future of blogging for the masses?
Well, it’s here at last and from what I can see AOL Journal’s is very poor. But, then again, maybe this is what blogging for the masses will be all about - a low specification blogs that your messenger buddies can view rather than your traditional profile.
I still think that ISPs need to develop more [...]

Got an email yesterday from AIM to participate in a beta trial of a new contact synchronisation tool. AIM Sync scans your Outlook contacts for AIM screen names or mobile numbers that you can add to your Buddy List feature. Then you’ll be able to instantly see whether your contacts are online any time.
