Save the Developers! Stop Using Internet Explorer 6
via TechCrunch by Erick Schonfeld on March 24, 2008
There is a scourge on the Web. It is called Internet Explorer 6. Even though the more recent version of Microsoft’s browser, IE7, has been around for more than two years, IE6 still represents 31 percent of all browsers out there (versus only 22 percent for IE7 and 36.5 percent for Firefox). This upgrade lag is simply unacceptable—to programmers, that is, who find it a real pain to make...

via Mashable! - The Social Networking Blog by (author unknown) on May 05, 2008
Shared by Drew Olanoff This is great for ReadBurner users!!!This story is near and dear to my heart: Google Reader has added a bunch of features to make sharing items more social and much easier. The biggest addition, which makes Google Reader sharing a lot more like saving something to del.icio.us or submitting it to Digg, is a new bookmarklet so you can share any web page in Google Reader. ...

Why Gen Y Is Going to Change the Web
via ReadWriteWeb by Sarah Perez on May 14, 2008
Gen Y is taking over. The generation of young adults that's compromised of the children of Boomers, Generation Jones, and even some Gen X'ers, is the biggest generation since the Baby Boomers and three times the size of Gen X. And as the Boomers fade into retirement and Gen Y takes root in the workplace, we're going to see some big changes ahead, not just at work, but on the web as a...

Facebook Will Be the Mainstream Everything
via ReadWriteWeb by Josh Catone on May 23, 2008
Whenever a new product comes out that has the early adopter set all atwitter -- like say, Twitter, for example -- there is a certain amount of discussion devoted to when or if the product will go mainstream. Sometimes we're not even sure if a new web app or service maybe already has reached the masses. A lucky few new web apps will cross the proverbial chasm into the mainstream, but most...

Scoble Sellout Part Three? - Twitter Adverts
via TechCrunch by (author unknown) on May 05, 2008
Shared by DrBaher Robert seems to go the route of monetizing his personal brand :)Here’s the third update to our January and April posts: Uber-blogger Robert Scoble, who in 2006 argued that having advertisements on blogs destroys trust, appears to be no longer content with… adding advertisements to his blog. Now he’s experimenting with Twittering adverts for perennial sponsor Seagate. He...

Twitter Starts Blacklisting Spammers
via TechCrunch by Erick Schonfeld on May 06, 2008
You know you’ve made it as a communications medium when you start attracting spammers. On Twitter, the problem is getting bad enough that the service is starting to blacklist people who spam other members. There is already an unofficial site called The Twitter Blacklist that lists 329 known spammers on the service (see screen shot below). That has nothing to do with Twitter officially and is...
