Google trumps Yahoo! and MSN

Last modified: Saturday, July 17, 2010

Yahoo! and MSN, along with others in the search market, had the chance to buy youTube, but they let Google scoop it up for the small amount of 1.65 billion. Just another example of Google being a great company, they seen that video is becoming a huge part of the Internet and the Internet's future, and they decided to become #1 at it by buying youTube. iTV by apple is coming out first quarter of 2007, and i would bet that this has a lot to do with Google. Live streaming from Google's youTube to iTV? I think so...

Google desktop search is annoying

Last modified: Saturday, July 17, 2010

If you've ever used it before, you know that it wants to run at startup. If you specify in the settings not to run at startup, then one day you decide you want to use it, you start it, and it will automatically add itself to startup again when you try to close it. This is annoying. If you specify once that you don't want something to run at startup, that should be enough. Google please fix this.

Google analytics now open to all users

Last modified: Saturday, July 17, 2010

Web tracking tool Google analytics is now open [here[1]. I tried it out and it is far superior to any other website tracking tool I've used. It is still a little buggy though, but I'm sure the bugs will be worked out soon.

Writely - Forgot password leads to new account

Last modified: Saturday, July 17, 2010

I signed up to be notified when I could join writely. I never got an invite. Today I went to lost password and it seems that it bypasses the wait for a new account. It emailed me a pass that I used with my email to access Writely. If anyone needs an invite, please try the above. If it doesn't work, just email me and I can invite you.
