New My Yahoo! Beta Site - First Looks
I’ve been using My Yahoo! as my homepage for about 8 years until recently. Frankly, I’d been disappointed that the service had remained unchanged for a long time and over the last couple of months I’ve been alternating between using Rojo.com and Start.com as my homepage.Well, Yahoo! today very quietly launched a new beta [...]

The launch of Google Talk created a bit of a dilemma for me this morning. I try to keep as few programs running as possible on my machine, which, I guess is a throwback to the days of DOS when a few extra k could be the difference between being able to get a [...]

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 - [...]
23Aug2005 | Everton | 4 comments | ContinuedPersonalised Homepages - Not Cool Anymore?
After watching the channel 9 video which includes a demo of the upcoming Microsoft Start project it made me realise that portals don’t seem to be investing a lot of effort into allowing users to personalise their homepages anymore.
In the late 90s this was all the rage and offering personalisation was seen to be important [...]
PubSub Sending More Traffic Than Technorati
I just checked my stats and already PubSub is sending more traffic to my blog than Technorati. My biggest referrers are:
Google
Trackbacks I’ve added to other blog articles
PubSub
Technorati
Other drivers of traffic to my blog are Ask Jeeves, Lycos and Yahoo! I don’t get a lot of unsolicited links from other blogs, (other than Aqute!), [...]

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 [...]
Wavigo Adds Skype To Its All-in-one Instant Messenger
I think this is a first. Wavigo has added Skype support to its IM client which already supports AIM, MSN and Yahoo!
I’ve never come across Wavigo before and I hope their client is better than their website which is awful. I’m going to give it a go though. I already use Trillian [...]
Yahoo Debuts New Tool for Searching the Invisible Web
Grrr I saw this story on Micro Persuassion and for about 10 seconds I got excited. Yahoo! Search Subscriptions allow you to search access-restricted sites like the Ft.com, which doesn’t usually appear in search results.For a second I thought I’d be able to access FT.com for free but you still need to be a [...]
16Jun2005 | Everton | 0 comments | ContinuedSkype And Yahoo In Deal Rumours
Rumours are floating around the internet about a potential Skype tie-up with Yahoo! I doubt Yahoo are looking to acquire Skype as that would require a ridiculous amount of cash/stock, but maybe a partnership deal is in the offing.

Yahoo! 360 Update-Only 20K On Trial?
Aqute Research have posted some surprising figures for the Yahoo! 360 users. They believe that Yahoo! only has around 20,000 users.
I thought they would have opened up the trial more by now. I have an account but I was put off by the poor looking homepage so I haven’t bothered making a test [...]
