A few challenges for Wikipedia this week. First, a brand that could really challenge them: Britannica 2.0. And yes, there’s peer editing, though registration—with names and addresses required.
And in a month of Internet job cuts, here’s a headline that’s sure to get lost in the crowd: Digg cuts 10 percent of its staff. On the plus side, they’re hiring a direct sales team.
Youtube really needs to synchronize ads better. Now its just getting too commercial, i see ads almost everywhere on youtube. Its no more broadcast yourself.
Thanks for the roundup – great stuff. I agree that Wikipedia has a serious issue with anonymous editing of content. Hopefully they get it right as it dilutes the authority when anyone can arbitrarily write what they want.
Methinks it is inevitable that GDrive will become the leader in online data storage. Google want’s to be the king of data, and this service will truly cement their claim.

interesting news. The articles about digg cutting staff by 10% and CNN displaying ads in live streams caught my attention especially.

10% sounds huge, but we are talking about 6 people. Its only newsworthy because it’s Digg.

I believe GDrive will be massive. i could see this coming when SkyDrive started offering 25GB.
Should make for some good competition

Google won’t say how much those partners get with the exclusive ad revenue deals they already have in place.
the G rive….lots of people already use Google Docs and Gmail to do the same….

I wonder if the YouTube downloads thing will become a trend? I can see them getting sued senseless for allowing downloads!

@Vic, maybe not so smart if you are one of the 10% who are having to bit the bullet.
