Compare Mobile Broadband Providers With Broadband Genie
I’d like to welcome Broadband Genie as one of the Connected Internet’s sponsors.
For those of you who haven’t come across Broadband Genie before, the original site allowed users to quickly compare broadband providers and to find the best deal based on their requirements e.g. where they lived, what price they were willing to pay [...]
Feedback: Microsoft and Yahoo, Round 2
Back in February I talked about Microsoft’s attempt to absorb Yahoo. Ultimately the deal with Yahoo fell through, Yahoo rejecting the $33/share a price that Microsoft was putting on the table.
Yahoo Board Rejects Microsoft’s Bid
According to the Wall Street Journal, Yahoo’s board will be declining Microsoft’s offer of $44.6 billion USD.
Yahoo will be sending their decision to Microsoft on Monday. Microsoft’s offer equates to $31 a share, and according to the Wall Street Journal’s source, Yahoo is looking for an offer of $40 a share or greater. The initial [...]
On Microsoft, Google and Fear
Yesterday’s news regarding Microsoft’s offer to buy out Yahoo shouldn’t surprise anyone. LiveSearch is almost irrelevant as a search engine, and MSN has seen declining traffic in the latter half of 2007. Yahoo, if not the most used search engine, is still the number one stop on the internet, edging out Google in overall traffic, [...]
Breaking News: Microsoft Bids $44.6bn for Yahoo!
I’m stunned by the breaking story my boss has sent me that Microsoft have just bid $44.6bn for Yahoo! The price is 62% above Yahoo’s closing share price on Thursday, so it’s going to be a hard one for Yahoo’s shareholders to reject.
If the deal goes ahead it will be the biggest internet tech [...]
Breaking Google’s Stranglehold On The Internet
The backlash against Google’s recent moves was amazing to follow last week, and it’s been rare to see such little support for their actions. One of my favourites is from One Mans Blog who suffered a Page Rank 8 to 5 Page Rank reduction, even though they were in personal contact with Google’s Matt [...]
The Neverending Saga of Bad Webpage Decisions… Ad Placement and Impressions
Whenever I browse the internet, I am always on the lookout for good design, good UI, and other factors that make me say ‘wow, someone was really thinking’.
Lately, however, I’ve been on the lookout for site behaviour that really gets on people’s nerves. The kind of pages that can be a lesson to those [...]
TNX.net – A Great New Way To Make Money Online
After a false dawn with CashCrate, I really think I have stumbled onto a great new way to make money online.
Over the last couple of months I’ve reduced the number of schemes that I utilise to generate over $15k per month from this site, and I’m certain that TNX.net will play a major role in [...]
Free Online Tools That Boost Your Personal Productivity
Hopefully you had a good week over at work, and are getting ready for the weekend.
I like weekends because they allow me to spend time with my family and friends, but also because they provide me with a unique opportunity to review my goals and plan the upcoming week accordingly.
One conclusion I often reach during [...]
Friday Fun: 300 Spartans On A Plane
I spent so much time last night writing MyBlogEarnings post, I forgot it was Friday and that I need to post something good to set everyone up for the weekend.
Luckily I spotted this brilliant video on Tony’s site. If you’ve watched the film 300 (I have twice!), then you need to check out this [...]
How To Get Traffic From Yahoo And Other Search Engines?
Even though Google is the most popular search engine with 55% market share in the US and 75% market share in the UK, I still can’t work out why I get next to no traffic from Yahoo and other search engines.
Over the last month according to Google Analytics my top 5 traffic sources have been [...]
JavaFX Mobile – Latest Mobile OS
JavaFX Mobile is starting to get hyped as an iPhone killer by many.
Sun has a great foothold in the mobile gaming arena. But productivity and office applications are still a a mountain to climb for Java MIDlets. With the instant success of Web 2.0 , there is a talk about Mobile 2.0 gaining strong grounds.

Why Is Yahoo! Publisher Network Still In Beta?
Yahoo! Publisher Network Beta launched in August 2005. Yet, nearly two years later it is still in beta and still isn’t accepting non-US applicants.
I’m starting to wonder if Yahoo! Publisher Network will ever see the light of day, and if it does, if it will be able to take away significant market share from [...]
What’s Your Biggest Career Mistake?
One of my favourite sites at the moment Valleywag has a funny story about Guy Kawasaki and Yahoo. Apparently Guy was offered the role of chief executive at a small startup called Yahoo……Guy’s response was:
‘It’s too far to drive, and I don’t see how it can be a business.’
What’s your biggest career mistake? [...]

I’ve just discovered the WordPress Theme Generator for the first time, that lets WordPress users ‘quickly’ create a theme without requiring any HTML, JS, PHP, or CSS knowledge. Based on the WordPress 2.1 with Yahoo! UI (Grids,Tabs & Fonts) to support all A-Grade browsers and Widgets.
MBL Community: 10 Steps To Get Traffic From Yahoo Answers
Mr.Byte who has crept into the top 10 commentators (in the sidebar) on Connected Internet has put together a great post detailing 10 Steps To Get Traffic From Yahoo Answers (also on Digg now). The post clearly states that the blogosphere tends to fixate on how to get traffic from Digg, StumbleUpon, Technorati, Google [...]
Yahoo Mail API Launched
In its latest attempt to woo the developer community, Yahoo! released the API for Yahoo Mail yesterday. This was missed by most sites in amongst the reporting of Yahoo adding unlimited email storage from May. I think this is a very smart move by Yahoo in an attempt to make an already very [...]
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, [...]
Has RSS Usage Killed Off Personal Homepages?
This time last year personal homepages were all the rage, with both big players like Google, MSN and Yahoo! and also small players like netvibes and pageflakes all frantically developing services.
However, it’s rare these days to see any interesting stories break about personal homepages. I wonder, is this because RSS readers have stolen their [...]
