Viacom’s Swipe at YouTube’s Records Now Said to Involve Employees
Remember when Viacom promised that it had no intention of taking any (YouTube user) names following a court order that it be given records of the last few years of activity on the video megasite?

It sports several functions, including a basic Twitter-like utility (which itself can bridge with the microblogging service at the back-end to send synonymous posts out one’s followers), options to publish photos and [...]
Check the Web for Street-Side Parking? Streetline Says It Can.
A couple weeks ago I brought you word of PrimoSpot, a mapping service for drivers within New York City’s Manhattan and Brooklyn boroughs. I mentioned how it helps users, at home or on-the-go, learn the details of the city’s street-side parking grid, block by block. I also said that it didn’t offer real-time notifications of [...]
LinkedIn Enables Inbox Search. Still Won’t Match Email’s Challenge.

Blogger’s Dilemma: Huge Arenas Or Small Gigs?
Jason Calacanis, the supreme linkbaiter he is, goes theatrical in his last post, in which he announced he’s supposedly quitting blogging, replacing it with a smaller, private, mailing list affair. Essentially, he asks a question: has blogging lost its soul? Has it become too large; has the pressure to be quicker than the other guy [...]

Question: Which iPhone 3G GPS-Enabled SocNet?
Ok, so it’s iPhone mania, and I can’t hit ‘j’ in Google Reader without coming across yet another iPhone story. All that spells madness for someone like me, who isn’t a particularly large Apple fan, doesn’t live in a 3G-enabled area, and doesn’t leave the house much anyway (making a geographically mobile phone a largely [...]
