Congrats to Jajah, they’re an awesome service. Not sure what they are? Have a glance at this:

Great post and find by Valleywag on a new AOL search called “FullView”.   Check the Powerpoint slides (that AOL forgot to remove from their site) to see what goes into selecting a brand name and service.

Good god, no wonder they suck ass.

Twitter seems to have been down for a bit. It’s getting pounded by users, and Steve Rubel of Micropersuasion pointed out that it was basically unusable today because of the slowness.It’s an interesting thing, this Twitter. It’s best described as “microblogging”. Others refer to it as the “uber status message” ala AIM. I think it’s a great communication tool, and it was very helpful at SXSW.

I’m sure they’ll be adding servers soon, as twitter has already become a big part of daily routines in the geek world. That’s not always an easy thing to accomplish, but hey, these are the lads who created Blogger.

Ok, so we were quite harsh on the whole Netscape/Digg clone when it first came out but now we realize that it’s the best thing since Google. No? OK it still sucks. Well, they’re at it again and this time they’re revolutionizing the web as we know it with my.netscape.com. No? OK it will probably suck. Along the same lines as YourMinis and PageFlakes, My Netscape looks like it will be inferior in every way. Hey, they keep trying right?
I’m going to put it under the Web 2.0 category although I’m pretty sure it isn’t very 2.0ish.
