Yahoo! has shut down yet another web service under its name called KICKSTART which launched back in April but didn’t really pick up traction anytime during the past 8 months.

Call it the current ill fate of Yahoo! or Kickstart’s poor ideation(it was nothing more than a  re-iteration of the pretty old concept of bridging students & alumnis and letting business relations develop inbetween),there were never big hopes by anybody(even Y! itself,i suppose) from Kickstart and the service hardly excited any lad to give it a serious …

Google has just announced another inclusion of an access gateway in Google Friend Connect and that is your “Twitter Account”.Earlier there were four options to choose from(Google, Yahoo, AIM, and OpenID) and now Twitterhas  become the fifth option to join any third party website employing ‘Friend Connect’.

As the fight is already ON between ‘Friend Connect’ ,’Facebook Connect’ and ‘MySpaceID’,its a clear 1up of Google over Facebook and Myspace.But there’s still something where  ’Friend Connect’ lacks but Facebook,Myspace lead..

And that is  ’Decent User Profile‘.

Facebook and Myspace,being the two …

In general,i love whatever comes my way that belongs to Google,be it Chrome,Android G1(latest ones) and many of the old and successful services(Gmail,Google Apps,Google Maps,Orkut,Google Earth and many others).And i trust brand ‘Google’ to an extent that i don’t expect slightest level of incompatibility within its services.

But one thing that i realized today made me re-think over (sort of)blind trust i had on Google’s services till now.

Prior to the launch of Chrome,i started using it and i confess that i …

When things keep going wrong and there’s nobody who can help out in troubled situation,the situation goes even worse.The same situation is with the current market,which has been constantly deteriorating and there’s hardly anybody who’s still giving a positive hope out there.

Apart from small tech startups/companies,big tech entities such as eBay and Yahoo! have already trimmed down(massive) their work strength and giants such as Google and Microsoft are striving to avoid layoff by removing unresponsive investments (for instance,Lively’s shutdown) and juicing out every possible …

All the Chrome fanatics must be happy to know that Chrome has just left ‘Beta’ stage(officially announced on Google Blog) with its fifteenth release today(in the past three months,they’ve released 14 updates so far).

At this point of leaving ‘Beta’ phase,team behind Chrome is looking quite confident about Chrome’s performance.You can expect better stability,no more audio/video glitches,massive gains in speed,better provision for managing bookmarks,improved privacy controls etc.

Although,the Google browser is dropping ‘beta’ tag,but some immediate homework is waiting to be done such as “RSS support”,”form autofill” …

As the year is about to end,Google has announced its list of most popular search terms(called ‘The Zeitgeist’) for the year 2008 and the list is quite interesting and not-so-obvious like Yahoo’s.

Astoundingly,the top two search engines(Google and Yahoo!) didn’t have a single search term in common in their Top 10 lists except ‘obama’(there also,Google had ‘Obama’ and Yahoo! had ‘Barack Obama’ hence not quite precisely matching).

Below are some really interesting conclusions on these Top 10 searches of Google & Yahoo! but before that,have a look at the …

Google has recently announced the discontinuation of the paid version of Google Earth, Google Earth Plus, which was priced at an yearly subscription of just $20.

Such a move was quite expected as there were only two primary features in ‘Google Earth Plus’, which were absent in the free version: GPS support, and support for limited spreadsheet input.

Google stated in the discontinuation announcement that ‘GPS support‘, the main reason for most of the users to subscribe ‘Google Earth Plus’ will be part of the free …
