Layoffspace, doesn't sound like a cheery destination does it? This latest diversion into the nether-niches just launched late last week to create a community where unemployed people can come together. The startup is owned by Spacemen Labs, a Pennsylvania Limited Liability Company and promises the “potential” of community action up to and including “life long connections at the click of a button.” Just when I thought I had seen it all (well actually I was awaiting the very next excursion [...]

Just who are Google, AOL and Yahoo! chasing in China anyway? Let's take a look at China's top search engine Baidu.com and see who is making all the ad dollars in China right now.
It seems like every day I have the opportunity to report on either a Google blunder in the international market, or some move by AOL or Yahoo! towards capturing a market somewhere. Baidu just reported their first quarter revenue of 35.6 million dollars, up over 100 percent [...]

I have had the great pleasure to visit some of the most innovative web sites, test the most sought after Beta releases and talk with a few of the most influential personalities of Web 2.0. I feel fortunate sincerely.
