What Will Microsoft-Yahoo Look Like, In Pictures
via Mashable! by Kristen Nicole on January 31, 2008
We know you’ve been bombarded with news of Microsoft-Yahoo, with the unsolicited bid amounting to $46 billion.

The internet is the social network
via BuzzMachine by Jeff Jarvis on February 01, 2008
Google has released a social-graph API, which in theory — though, unfortunately, not in practice — is what the internet is all about: relationships and connections. I’ve said it before:The internet doesn’t need more social networks. The internet is the social network. We have our identities, interests, reputations, relationships, information, and lives here, and we’re adding more every...

Making Google Reader More Like Gmail
via Google Operating System by Ionut Alex Chitu on January 19, 2008
Google Reader could add a lot of features from Gmail that would improve the way it organizes information. A filtering mechanism would allow you to automatically star, share, email, label or mark as read the posts that match a certain pattern. For example, you could receive an email for each post that contains GDrive in the title or automatically label

Forget Twitter Issues... ReadBurner is Down!
via louisgray.com by louisgray on January 31, 2008
Just yesterday, I suggested that ReadBurner was, by far, the most impressive product to debut on the Web so far in 2008. Of course, given that was in January, the change in the calendar to February 1 could also mean a change of luck. Around midnight last night, I was unable to check in on ReadBurner and see the most shared posts or those getting momentum - and was halfway through e-mailing the...

Yesterday, we uncovered Rating Burner, a new site that ranks popular blogs by their total subscribers, as calculated by FeedBurner.

Today, Alexander emerged, and sent me a few e-mails, which further explained...

Readburner’s Unofficial API
via Mashable! by Mark 'Rizzn' Hopkins on January 30, 2008
A mark of a truly successful product is the fact that folks love it so much that they’ll unnecessarily begin hacking it up so they can extract every last drop of functionality from the service as is humanly (machine-ly?) possible. That is the case with the newly minted memetracker for creators of Google Reader powered linkblogs, ReadBurner. Found pre-maturely by Louis Gray, the site has seen a...

Kudos to Mashable, and Three Links Their Way
via louisgray.com by louisgray on January 30, 2008
Some companies will talk about change, and not follow through. Mashable is not one of them. After promising to offer an improved level of transparency and attribution, the popular social networking news site has done exactly that, revamping they way they report news, share linkage and introduce original sourcing. Over the last few weeks, Mashable has managed to seamlessly keep reporting the news...
