I tend to keep my eye on about a dozen or so feeds (gathered by Google Reader, if you’re curious to know) every day in order to scrounge up enough fodder for my posts here at Profy. (Si, soy un moocher.) Some of course receive more attention than others.
Case in point: I passed over my subscription to CNET’s Tech News Blog for the first couple of days of the week, and in so doing, missed quite a delectable piece [...]

The evolutionary gem known as the blog has come a long way since its official origin back in the mid ‘90s. Jorn Barger, dubbed the designer of the term “weblog” (and it’s definition), claims to have started the trend – now a phenomenon of global proportions – by assembling a daily catalogue of links amassed from “travels across the Web.” How interesting, then, it is to find that, some 10 years since its basic introduction, the core of the concept [...]

Tossing its hat into the social bookmark ring is NetVouz.   NetVouz is competing with nearly one hundred already existing social bookmakring sites, including del.icio.us, Furl , Reddit and StumbleUpon.  In fact, there are so many sites that offer social bookmarking services we have several articles on the topic here at Profy.
Each of these social bookmarking sites tries to set itself apart by offering a unique twist or feature. For example, Digg has made its name by combining a social bookmarking feature [...]

Reuters published an interview with a market analyst a few days ago concerning Yahoo!’s present health status as a giant Web portal, and I think some of the points mentioned in the piece are worth highlighting here on Profy. Let’s get right into it.
The analyst, Jeffrey Lindsay, an associate of Sanford C Bernstein, spoke of what many in the past have argued in the past, which is that Yahoo! “would be worth far more to shareholders if it broke up [...]

Considering how popular that social bookmarking has become and the fact that Google is the most used search engine, a social bookmarking site for the search giant seems far overdue. Google has already been offering a bookmark service, but saved bookmarks were stored privately in user's accounts, which left the social aspect lacking.
Perhaps Google is going along with the saying 'better late than never' as it has now launched Shared Stuff (creative name, huh?), which seems like a [...]

You may already know from my previous post that I am a big fan of Mister Wong, the already popular in Europe social bookmarking service that has just been out of public beta in English language. If you want to know my opinion, Mister Wong definitely has a chance to get at least some of del.icio.us users away and keep them - for long. When you browse various bookmarks and groups on Mister Wong, you really feel it is populated [...]

Let's face it. Great inventions will always have their fair share of clones, replicas and variations. Yes, this means that I am calling Digg a great invention and, yes, it means that there are a lot of digg clones.
Many of those Digg clones attempt to be exactly that… a copy of Digg with minor changes. The problem with this is that Digg has already created it's vast community, which is loyal and most likely unwilling to trade to another [...]

I started to get social networking fatigue a long time ago, yet I have friends who keep asking me to sign up for more sites. They want to know what movies I like on Blockbuster or Netflix. And sure, there's I Heart Movies, but then you also get questions about what software you recommend. What your latest purchases are on iTunes. And your del.icio.us bookmarks. And your book recommendations. And I no longer remember where I have accounts nor what [...]

Is it interesting to find out a new bookmarking service is launched? You may already know my opinion: I think we already have too many duplicates for most of the web services already. But it is really very interesting to hear news about something that definitely aims directly at del.icio.us and plans to compete with the leader - not with some smaller players in the field. So when I got to know a new social bookmarking service that promises to [...]
