Bet Google never saw this one coming! It seems that Google is in a fight for the right to use Gmail. And yet some how, I am willing to bet that they’ll find way to win.

So why in the world would Acer and Yahoo possibly have a desire to team up on a project. Oh, the answer to this might just surprise you.

So does Yahoo’s latest actions (among that of others) mean that they are crossing the line in their efforts to generate revenue. Or instead, would it be better to allow them to discover what works best for them as they companies like this remain unchecked?

Apparently Google is trying to position their video service into the mainstream spotlight as they toss the much more valued Froogle into the back seat.

Google is tossing a full billion into the country of India. While some question the timeliness of the event, others feel that it could be money well spent.

OK, so perhaps in some way this may not seem like “news”. Regardless. I think it is worth mentioning that Google remains at the top of the search engine mountain even after all of the work put into competing from Microsoft.

This is a pretty big deal, folks. Seriously, the idea of the UC joining Google’s Library Project is a pretty big deal. As to whether or not it will actually happen or not, well, you’ll have to read below for more info on that.

For a company like Google, this will prove to be peanuts I imagine. Seriously, only $90 million collectively for click fraud. Sounds like someone got off easy…

I just don’t know if I am OK with this. I mean, Google is already indexing everything in sight. Do we really want them doing this with the US Fed?

You know, this does seem to be the latest trend right now. And honestly, this may be the best thing for the Netscape portal at this point in its existence.

So it’s definately an interesting turn for AOL to take with their IM client. But will the business world “byte” so to speak? I am inclinded to say no.

Is Google really onto something here? And just as importantly, can they actually compete against the well entrenched Paypal.

Personally, I frown on most adware. And by adware, I am speaking of any application that inhibits your PC usage with pop-ups and/or hijacking your browser. Regardless of my feelings, it seems that people still use the products…

While I still believe that MySpace will end up being the traffic king, Yahoo has made some needed improvements to their photo sharing utility in hopes of making it even simpler for the average user to enjoy!

Yes, it was simply a matter of time before eBay begun to make serious moves into the mobile space. However it just seems a little strange to have selected Opera vs one of the other browser options out there.

Guess that this goes to prove that MySpace is a “use at your own risk” kind of deal. Speaking for myself, I simply don’t have a desire to use it.

Even with the increase of Internet advertising, there are still other trends at work that need to be examined. Perhaps Baidu is such a good example because they are trying to base a community around their search engine?

OK, the following might seem really obvious. Regardless, the fact remains that blogs and podcasts are most definitely being driven forward by more broadband adoption.

Definitely news to me. This article below must be speaking of another user group from the people that I deal with on a daily basis?

Niche search engines are an interesting sort. Either hit or miss, they don’t leave a lot in between. But when it comes to those of the travel variety, I am generally a little suspicious as to the actual value of such a thing.
