Google has today released 100,000 “preview” invites, for the long awaited Wave communication and collaboration tool. These are considered “pre-beta” as many of Waves features are yet to be completed. The gradual release brings back the memories of the hyped up Gmail launch back in 2004 on a similiar “Invite Only” program. This lead to [...]

Google Fast Flip News
Its been earlier announced at Techcrunch 50 that Google will be publishing news in a different format that will be called Fast Flip. Fast Flip is a system that allows you to search the newspapers and topical magazines online and you’ll be able to flip through the articles that are presented in a similar way [...]
Is Google Making Hardcore Profits?

It was a look at how the porn industry has changed over the years and was trying to determine which companies are profiteering from the porn industry.

Instabilities in Google?

Arrington’s iPhone Blunder
Dave pointed out this post this morning – http://blog.endofweb.co.uk/2009/08/techcrunch-arrington-iphone-ignorance/ which has compelled me to write about this post as well.
