Både i en snabb post på sin egen blogg Deepedition och i en djupare analys i posten “Det händer nu” på Same Same But Different. En dump från Niclas post på SSBD (det ...

Twitter is emerging as a major force in breaking news. But some people disagree. Today we saw yet another illustration, when people in Mumbai got the word of terrorist attacks out to the world well before mainstream media even knew something was happening. Mathew Ingram points out previous examples of Twitter users breaking important world news. If I didn’t hear about something important happening by watching my Twitter stream, it’s the first place I go ...

how is it possible that this is only *just* starting to make news? A sure sign of the times is when we hear of an event and then start a count for how long it takes news services to report on it.

Another terrorist attack in India, this time in India’s financial & entertainment capital, Mumbai (Bombay.) I have been following this for a while on Twitter, where people from the city are reporting whatever updates they can get. It is a depressing start to a Thanksgiving weekend here in the U.S. You can follow the news here on Twitter, or watch some of the live reports on NDTV and CNN. There are also photos on Flickr. ...

About a week ago we soft-launched a new search engine for TechCrunch, the first to be built and deployed using Yahoo’s new BOSS Custom technology (otherwise known as “BOSS vertical lens”, as Yahoo called it in its announcement today). The new TechCrunch Search is considerably more powerful than WordPress’s default search capabilities. For one, you can now search across our entire network of English-speaking blogs (which includes CrunchGear, MobileCrunch, TechCrunch UK, TechCrunchIT, Gillmor Gang and ...

Yahoo should do a a search deal with Microsoft now, if only so it can focus on its strengths -- on and off network advertising to its tremendously large audience. Nielsen's October U.S. search share rankings show Yahoo's (YHOO) search queries are down 12% year over year, while Google's (GOOG) are up 8.1%. ComScore's numbers are only slightly more positive, reporting Yahoo search queries grew 7.7% year over year, but that Yahoo still lost market ...

Microsoft’s battle to conquer the web has a certain Moby-Dick-like quality. Me-too products, muddled branding strategy and constantly playing catchup with competitors has reduced the king of software to a punch line. The more they try, the further they get. In the third quarter of 2008, Microsoft’s online revenues were $770 million, up 15 percent from Q3 2007. But the losses jumped 80 percent year-over-year to $480 million. Adam Lashinsky succinctly sums it up: Microsoft ...

During the U.S. presidential elections, one of the campaigning methods which got a lot of attention was President-Elect Obama's in-game billboard ad inserted into the Xbox 360 racing game, Burnout Paradise. Now a similar technology for embedding images is making its way into online, user-gen video. Instead of pre-rolls, post-rolls, or overlays, this technology allows for inserted images to be rendered onto any planar surface in a video, whether wall, floor, or ceiling. Oh, and ...

One of the more interesting recent questions in the iPhone geek circle: Is Google's (GOOG) neat, newish voice-powered iPhone search feature quietly breaking Apple's (AAPL) App Store rules? Yes. iPhone programmers figured out quickly that Google was using "private" code in its iPhone app, which is officially against Apple's rules. Meanwhile, CNet scribe Tom Krazit thought to pick up the phone and see what Google had to say. He writes: "A Google spokesman confirmed Tuesday ...

Well, one trend we’re seeing big time is the move to social networks. Facebook alone has more than 100 million people on it. When you add MySpace, Microsoft’s new network, Hi5, LinkedIn, FriendFeed, Twitter, and others, these networks are seeing some sizeable traffic. But how do they monetize? Well, Facebook has ...

I reported skeptically on this issue earlier, but let's call a spade a spade. Google used its contractor workforce to quickly scale without having to spend on permanent employees, and now, it's using that same workforce to cut back costs. I've heard from a fair number of "laid off" contractors, in particular in Europe, and the reality is simply that: Google's use of contractors outstripped the company's ability to leverage them to the bottom line, ...
