Hot on the heels of news that corrupt Dmoz editors kicked out Shoemoney, it seems they’re turning on their own now.
It’s confirmed, the courts consider information on RAM to be stored information. Background here.
Facebook has given a “heads-up” on some planned changes.
Blinkx inks media partnerships with 28 “long tail” media companies. We assume that means you’ve never heard of the companies.
You can now select which Google AdSense publishers can show your ads.
