Google's made many headlines lately, but today one particular announcement by the company shadowing almost all others. We say almost, because the biggest elephant in the room remains the Google-DoubleClick deal. $3.1bn is one card that’s really very difficult to trump.
On to the latest news. It turns out Google’s been hard at work trying to construct a bridge between online and offline use of applications that as of now can only be accessed with Internet connections, and come out from [...]

MySpace surely is not very aesthetically pleasing. It?s downright abysmal, to be honest. But it?s home to tends of millions of social networkers and for some reason or another, they?re okay with how things are. I can?t quite grasp the indifference among the loyalists about the site?s theme, but perhaps some things simply aren?t meant to be understood. They just are the way they are.
One thing I assume must be the case, though, is that some of the folks [...]

One of the most innovative and interesting startups from the Web 2.0 Expo is a comprehensive development environment called Bungee Connect from Bungee Labs. This on-demand web development tool allows for the building and deployment of a large number of APIs onto the Internet. The scope of this service is vast, but perhaps the most attractive aspect of the utility is that Web developers actually only pay for the service once their application is making money.
Essentially, Bungee Connect enables [...]

As Web 2.0 bloggers we are constantly reviewing startups for our readers. A new site called Beta Push is either trying to help us or kill us, I am not sure which. Beta push was created to allow developers and users to publish articles about their products. The site is a free sign up and also allows members to earn revenue from their Google Adsense accounts via their submitted articles.
Beta Push has an easy to use UI and a simple [...]

In the comments section of my review of Clipperz, CEO of Clipperz Marco Barulli disagreed with my concerns about using third-party libraries for Clipperz, as well as an open-source JavaScript cryptographic library. Fortify Software would seem to agree with me, releasing an advisory this week on a known vulnerability in Web 2.0 sites that rely on Ajax.
Fortify examined 12 popular Ajax frameworks, including the biggies - Google, Microsoft, and Yahoo! - as well as open-source releases. Their [...]

We’ve imagined that Mozilla intended to leave it to third-party extension experts to incorporate social networking into Firefox, its wildly successful, open source browser. There are thousands of add-ons for Mozilla’s brightest star, each with their own sets of users; some even die-hard fans. Why make its own? Besides, when it comes to social networking, Flock, a browser developed on top of Mozilla’s code, does a pretty good job of integration of all the core Web 2.0 apps [...]

I recently professed my love for PassPack. However, I am a techno-weenie, and when something that promises to be even cooler comes along, I am compelled to at least give it a test run. Clipperz has been getting quite a bit of press lately, and when we here at Profy were asked to give it a look, I jumped on the task. I'm not the most organized of people, and if someone is going to promise to keep me organized even [...]

In the third quarter of 2007, a project five years in the making is set to launch. Xcerion, a small Swedish company, has plans to release a free XML-based OS (XIOS) that will run inside a browser. XIOS has an extremely small footprint, with an initial 2 MB download to install. Running in a sandbox, it should be virtually immune to most of the malware created for current operating systems. Such a system would eliminate current OS hardware and software [...]
