When Google Wave was first released, it impressed a lot of people from a technical standpoint. The trouble was, no one could figure out a practical use for it. Now, Novell has decided to take a shot, announcing a service known as Pulse.
Earlier this week, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer hit a pessimistic note by saying that he expected to see IT spending growth, but not recovery. Now, it seems that Microsoft is about to prove it's still in recession mode, as rumors of imminent layoffs are circulating.
A company with a market cap of $51 billion has lent some weight to the idea that it's possible to make money off Twitter. Early this morning, Amazon launched a "Share on Twitter" feature designed to bring in buyers and reward the specific people responsible for doing so.
It's getting to be that time of year during which people grow much nicer and more family-oriented. Or much more rude and antisocial. Whatever. Either way, Google's making a special effort to ensure that it isn't put out of mind over the next couple of months.
A little more information regarding Yahoo's take on real-time search has emerged, and the details - scarce as they are - sound encouraging. Another key point is that public testing of the real-time search feature may be just a few days away.
As we've said before, real-time search will be a tricky thing for Yahoo. Google and Facebook have already made their first efforts in this field, and their partner - Twitter - has a rather higher profile than Yahoo's pal, OneRiot.
It seems that Google's accounting practices may not be quite in line with accepted Turkish procedures. In fact, Turkey's government has determined that the search giant owes it a little over $47 million in unpaid taxes.
The man who's served as YouTube's director of content partnerships for almost three years has found another job. Jordan Hoffner is set to link up with a content venture at IAC, according to a new report.
There's about a month left before the $8,000 first-time homebuyer tax credit becomes a thing of the past, and - perhaps like many individuals - Google's not going to let this opportunity slip away. The search giant's upgraded Google Maps's real estate options in several different ways.
National Geographic and Weather.com are not, if we're to be honest, nearly as trendy as something like Twitter or Facebook. Still, both entities garner a significant amount of respect (and a significant number of page views), and Bing recently received a sort of nod from each of them.
Catching episodes of your favorite show(s) on Hulu just became a little easier. The site's introduced a "Coming Soon" page so that early bird users can figure out when the stuff they want to see will actually become available.
One might argue that this is a very minor feature - essentially a redundant online TV guide, given that most Hulu users know episodes become available the day after they air. Still, even if that's the case, it should prove handy for folks who are new to the site.
