APRONO FORMATION TodaysMeet Web hosting - Domain names - Domain name hosting - Webfusion Media And Place (MAP) Productions Rumours rumours... Yahoo Closing Buzz, Traffic APIs – Maybe Delicious & AltaVista News is traveling fast about a leaked slide from a Yahoo “all hands” meeting earlier this week that listed several products — including Delicous and AltaVista — to be “sunsetted.” Yahoo confirms that Yahoo Buzz will be closed, as will the Traffic APIs. Delicious seems likely to go, too. Here’s the statement we received from Yahoo: Part of our organizational streamlining involves cutting our investment in underperforming or off-strategy products to put better focus on our core strengths and fund new innovation in the next year and beyond. I asked again if this included Delicious and was told: We’re not commenting on Delicious specifically at this point. The Sunset Slide The news appears to have been broken first by Eric Marcoullier, who tweeted out a picture from an internal slideshow that was given to Yahoo employees: You can see a larger version of this here. Can’t wait to find out how you got the web cast. Goodbye To Yahoo Buzz So Long, AltaVista & AllTheWeb See You, MyBlogLog
blog - Social Networking For Schools Ever since Skype was sold by eBay in 2009 and its visibility skyrocketed, it’s become an increasingly popular tool in the classroom. In fact, so many tech-savvy teachers have been using it that Skype has recently developed a tool specifically for teachers and their classrooms. The program, called “Skype in the classroom”, was just released from its beta status and has begun to permeate the classrooms of more than 30,000 teachers around the world. The Social Media Phenomenon in the Classroom So what makes Skype so valuable to teachers that many of them have dedicated countless hours to collaborating with developers in order to create the new “Skype in the classroom” tool? • It’s free: Without paying a dime, anyone can get free Skype-to-Skype calls, one-to-one video calls, instant messaging, and screen sharing. • It’s omnipresent: Access to Skype isn’t limited to the U.S. • It’s peer-to-peer: Rather than being based on a client-server system like most VoIP services, Skype is peer-to-peer.

TypeWith.me: Live Text Document Collaboration! Bad Services? Holding Officials Accountable with SMS, Radio, and TRAC FM A recent radio poll at Sanyu FM in Kampala, Uganda, asked listeners what area of service delivery should be a priority: healthcare, education, security, sanitation, or transport. Using a new tool, TRAC FM , the station was able to solicit comments via SMS from listeners, discuss the issue on the air, and create and post online visualizations of the responses. The station received 103 SMS responses which showed that healthcare was the major concern for listeners, which accounted for 65% of responses. With help from Text to Change and in partnership with local media organizations, TRAC FM provides citizens in Uganda with a platform to monitor, scrutinize, and discuss public service issues via SMS, radio, and online data visualizations. It does this via the TRAC FM software, a tool for Ugandan radio stations that is partially built on RapidSMS, an open source platform originally developed by UNICEF. According to the TRAC FM website : TRAC works in countries affected by poverty and conflict.
Is Yahoo Shutting Down Del.icio.us? [Update: Yes] For a couple of days now, we’ve been hearing rumors that the Yahoo layoffs included the entire Delicious team. Now Former Yahoo employee and Upcoming founder Andy Baio has tweeted out the above Yahoo! product team meeting slide that seems to show that Yahoo! is either closing or merging the social bookmarking service as well as Upcoming, Fire Eagle, MyBlogLog and others. In some kind of weird founder solidarity, the slide was originally posted on Twitter by MyBlogLog founder Eric Marcoullier. Listed under the ominous “Sunset” are: Delicious, Altavista, MyBlogLog, Yahoo! Under “Merge” are: Upcoming, FoxyTunes, Sideline, FireEagle, Yahoo Events and Yahoo People Search. It also looks like sundry Yahoo properties like Yahoo Deals and Yahoo Calendar will be made into features. Delicious, MyBlogLog and Upcoming have been somewhat neglected since being acquired by Yahoo and founders Joshua Schachter, Marcoullier and Baio have all moved on to do other (more successful) things.
