With Facebook opening it’s doors to widget development there is one more reason to think of the widget war. The number of websites using widgets and the amount of users interacting with them is increasing rapidly. Companies are already gearing up to enter the social networking space with widgets leading to their products and services. However widgets are never a guaranteed success and even if so, difficult to prove their return for investment. Read more

Looking at the funny side of this is not easy, because there isn’t one. The technology powering video uploads for Hi5, Bebo and Dogster does not support Windows Vista. I am by no means an advocate of Bill Gate’s evil monster Microsoft but common sense says that most of the new PC’s will be shipping with Vista. Which also means that Vista users cannot upload any videos to their favourite networks currently.

Without any warning Google has released a brand new interface for Google Analytics. It is evident that the new release is not focusing on adding extra features but concentrates in displaying the same information in a new light.

LinkedIn, the business networking website has reached 10 million users in April of 2007. This is not only significant for its effect on the business and recruitment communities but also as another driving force in social media. Networking has never been easier online and LinkedIn safeguards against abuse make it a clean environment to meet genuine professionals at the top of their trade.

LinedIn is another internet success story and it is likely to be bought soon for yet another astronomic amount from one of the giants. The question is how much?

We have just soft-launched the Social Media website. There are still some parts missing but we are working around the clock for the final release. For the techno-freaks the website is build in PHP and running on Apache server. The design is heavily based on CSS, keeping the HTML clean and tidy.

We are always looking for feedback on the look and feel so if you think that something could be better please drop us a line.

Thanks and welcome
