Yahoo! Directors Re-Elected

Yahoo's board of directors emerged from the annual meeting this past Friday still intact. Very few of the shareholders raised any kind of questions about the director's rejection of Microsoft's $47.5 billion takeover bid, showing that the board still has their trust.

Is this the end of Microsoft's bid to get Yahoo? I think not but it may be a little while before we hear more from them. Yahoo as a company has made some serious mistakes over the last couple of years and they are digging their own grave.

Look for example at Meedio. An up and coming HTPC application and front end that was being actively developed. Yahoo! buys it and turns it into shit. Maybe it's just that I was a Meedio user, actually a Meedio purchaser as well. The folks that sold out to Yahoo! made a big mistake and alienated the biggest portion of it's user base.

Web Hosting

There is all different kinds of cheap web hosting out on the Internet looking for your business and personal sites and if you are in the market for a new web host shop around and see what you can find. I have used many over the years and currently use two different ones actually. At one point a few years ago I even ran my own host out of the basement in my house but it got to be too much bandwidth usage and I wanted someone else to do the tech support and handle the heavy issues like downtime and SQL server. It's been much nicer since I have moved to sites elsewhere.

If you are looking for a new web host pay a visit over at Web Hosting Geeks and see what they have to offer. They list all of the top web hosting services as well as comparisons of the features, costs involved and benefits of each host such as space, traffic, some of them offer credits for Yahoo and Google as well. There are reviews of each web host that you can glean much-needed information from as well.

Don't just blindly pick the first web host you run across on the Internet. Check out Web Hosting Reviews and Ratings to find the best web hosting in 2008 now!

This is also being posted at a couple of my other sites as well. So there is a new Twitter clone out there called Identi.ca Still too early to see if it's going to be used more than Twitter but I signed up and will try to start posting updates. Twitter has had so many issues over the last few months that there was bound to be something coming along. Hopefully some of the other apps and web sites I use that allow Twitter integration will also start using Identi.ca soon as well. My profile on Identi.ca is here. Check out some of the articles listed below in the Related Articles are as well for more of an in-depth look at Identi.ca

New Web Addresses Approved

An overhaul in the way we navigate the world wide web has been approved in paris...Currently there are so many domains that can be used for URLs on the web, this will add more flexibility to the system.

ICANN is going to be taking applications for the new domains starting in April and might include such domains as .ebay, .atl, .NYC for example. The suffixes look to be pretty expensive from what I have read about them.
