Randy Siegel in the New York Times speculates on what the Google homepage might look like in the far future (it allows you to search not only the web, but friends, family, ex-spouses, tax records, music, your future, and other people’s conversations).
Bad luck for leolo.info. After moving to the new colocation, the primary harddisk is broken. Rebuliding the sites in progress.
It was revealed that Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) was interested in teaming up with Time Warner's (NYSE: TWX) AOL, you just knew that Google (Nasdaq: GOOG) wasn't going to take this lying down. There was too much at stake in the lucrative paid search space for Google to give up so easily. After a week, Yahoo also show his interest to buy AOL too. Woo... AOL is hot suddenly.
Interesting Drama by the San Dimas High drama club:
Microsoft: Oooh, baby. I can't wait to hold you and those delicious eyeballs, my sweet AOL.
AOL: Not so fast, Mr. Softy. I haven't broken up with Google just yet.
Google (knocking): Open up, AOL. I know you're there.
AOL (opening door): Man, this is like totally awkward.
Google: Don't leave me, sugar.
AOL: Well? Hey! Who brought that Comcast kid here?
Google: Don't worry, darling. He's cool. He's with me.
AOL: Give me one good reason why I shouldn't leave you?
Google: Haven't I been good to you, cupcake?
AOL: Yes, but --
Google: Microsoft's a stranger, pookie. He's inexperienced. You don't know what you're going to get if you run off with him. You know that, don't you?
AOL: Yes, but my parent wants me out of the house.
Google: TW wants you out, but think about the clicks. We had something great, doll.
Microsoft (coughs): Ahem, AOL? Will you marry me?
Google: Comcast? The ring please?
Finally the user of Yahoo messenger can talk with the user of MSN Messenger in Q2 2006. That's definitely a good news for users. In US, it help to flight with Google and AOL. While in China, that should be a big impact to QQ. The stock values of QQ drop 10% once the news was announced. (Luckily i sold all my shares for QQ (0700.HK)).
