I don't think there's a single person in the world that feels bad because Google hasn't been able to get its paws on Facebook, the current top social networking site. Try as Google might, Facebook 's Zuckerburg has no intentions of partaking in any sort of affair with the search engine behemoth.
However, it looks like Google is prepared to become socially linked-in itself. iGoogle, the popular homepage that links together all of Google's broad functionality, [...]

It seems clear that the Yahoo board is delusional. There is just no other way to describe it aside from out-of-touch, clueless, or just plain crazy. They turned down the Microsoft offer. Fine, we get it. Big bad Microsoft would cramp your free-wheeling style that has had you, the first big search and portal online, cowering in the shadow of Google . You can't get bought by Google because everyone from the EU to the US to the kindergartners at [...]

I couldn't resist the title for this article since I've jumped so whole-heartedly on the desire for what's coming next. Yahoo announced the latest version of their mobile platform at CES, and hopes it's going to be the platform that finally unites the mobile web.
Yahoo Go 3.0 is what CEO Jerry Wang hopes will “get Yahoo yodeling again.” With its new development environment built in XML called Blueprint, the hope is that the ease of development and a forthcoming SDK [...]

The LeWeb 3 conference is underway, and since we highlighted yesterday a couple of startups slated to walk the stage at the event, we figure, why not another?
The next company we profile, dubbed eXo Platform, is a company with a diverse number of holdings in the Web software space. From developments in the realm of cloud-based operating systems, to specially-designed applications and utilities (email, client management, etc.), to those nifty little things we call widgets.
Having taken several glances at [...]

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 [...]

Did you find it at all strange or perhaps a touch disappointing to find the world of cellular phone makers seemingly sitting around idly as Apple debuted it’s “revolutionary” mobile touch screen device back in late June? It was quite bizarre actually. There they were, about four or five big-name handset manufacturers – not to mention the creators of widely implemented mobile operating systems – none of which had anything close to an alluring answer to Cupertino’s finest new gadgetry.
Well, [...]

I’ll be honest. Apart from the odd link on Digg, I never visit AOL. I’m sure it’s a descent place to visit as far as Web portals go. I doubt it offers any worse an experience than Yahoo! or MSN, anyhow. Today, I ventured there once again. A Reuters piece published on ZDNet highlighted some changes at AOL News, and so I went. No particular story to read there. Just paid a visit. And, you know, it wasn’t so bad.
It [...]
