Om Malik, Saturday, August 26, 2006 at 10:16 PM PT Comments (12)

Did Yahoo kill their blog search service? That’s the top meme on Techmeme, but since it is based on just one report, it is prudent to wait for Yahoo to officially say something.

BBC America fans are quite familiar with a delightful show called, Cash In The Attic. The premise of the show is that antique experts go to someone’s house and find things which might look like trash but end up being valuable, selling for a lot of money at an auction. Same can be said of [...]

Social event planning is one of those things that makes “web 2.0″ seem like such a good idea. Every time we have to click through an Evite, we cringe. We can’t say we use Skobee, Renkoo, or even aggregator sites like EVDB’s Eventful, Zvents, and Upcoming on a regular basis — that would require a [...]

Paidcontent, the digital media and content publication was one of the first to realize that niche job boards were the future, and introduced its Digital Media Jobs board, when we were rank amateurs in comparison.
