Linky Goodness, February 28

Andy’s off speaking at SMX, and we’re here holding down the newsly fort.

New protocols are making it easier to submit sitemaps according to hosts from robots.txt. I think that’s what it means, anyway.
If you actually use iGoogle, a handy new feature puts Google Webmaster Tools on Your iGoogle Homepage.
Yahoo admits that the Microsoft Bid Has Been a Distraction. Gee, someone dangles $45B in my face and I have no problem focusing on other things. . . .
A teenager killed herself after being molested by a predator she met on the Internet. As terrible as this is, this just isn’t how our legal system handles it: Parents Of Deceased Teen Sue MySpace. The case is pretty weak: they didn’t even meet on MySpace. The predator introduced the teen to MySpace and helped her set up her profile.

Jordan, well done in holding down the fort. I just saw a new newsclip on msn about Microsoft’s latest proposal to Yahoo. I think something is going to go down soon on that front.

If mgt at yahoo is distracted by the buyout bid then I wonder what distracted them when Google took over their market share?

…forgot to add that the buyout would be a blessing for Yahoo. They could really benefit from the financial backing Msft would provide, because to compete with Google how they are now is just impossible.

I can’t remember last time i used a sitemap. Get a few backlinks and SEs should spider you just fine.
