Vox

Looks like Vox did an interview with Marshall. I also like Vox. It is nice, and doesn’t really feel yet like a traditional social networking site.

Kazaa, Asia, Google pays media??

October 31st, 2006 admin Comments

Kazaa finally gets the monkey off it’s back. As the writer said, they can now resume business as another legit online music place. Possibly a money losing one.

Asia will lead the way in the internet according to this article.

Is there some underlying evil going on with the Google YouTube purchase? According to this article which is clearly labeled *Rumor* – they say that it might be the case here. Supposedly $500 million was set aside in the $1.65 billion buy out to help “heal the wounds” of these copyright infringements. Kind of makes sense, but then again, it was marked *Rumor*

Technically Speaking, that might be it for today!

Microsoft not backing down, Intuit’s Quickbase

October 31st, 2006 admin Comments

The earlier news I posted a few hours ago on Windows and PHP actually had some more base to it then I thought. It looks like the little company from Redmond is actually now partnering up with Zend. Google, looks like it’s time to play in the big show!

Intuit just announced the update of their hosted application service called Quickbase.

Then of course, there is an early version of the daily podcast – 7 Minutes with Rex Dixon 10/31/2006 episode. The podcast(s) (Coffee with Rex Dixon #2)are sponsored this week by

Conde Nast-Reddit, Google-Jotspot, eSnips, Prosper, Google Video

October 31st, 2006 admin Comments

Just so much going on this Tuesday, Halloween 2006.

Conde Nast just acquired Reddit. The guys over at TechCrunch have the lowdown.
Google (who else!) just announced the aquisition of Jotspot.

eSnips just closed their series A funding round and picked up $2 million.

Prosper is announcing they are up to 100,000 members and $20 million in funded loans.

From late yesterday, Google again. This time Google Video.

GPS, Facebook, Mobile Content

October 31st, 2006 admin Comments

Katie of GigaOm says that GPS is taking off. If you listened to my podcast from last night, other people think differently.

Facebook is like Rex Dixon – World Wide Live! Okay, maybe a little more world wide then Rex, but still Facebook is everywhere. Even on my podcast from last night, and on the new Coffee with Rex Dixon show, you can hear about the great new book by a former Facebook engineer. Well at least for this week.

$150 million is allot of money. That is what Katie is saying concerning how venture firms and investors seemed to have poured their money into startups that create or enable mobile content. Mobile content is the hot money for you, or where the hot money such as that last $150 million went too!

Technically Speaking, yes, there is MORE!

MySpace to stop the music, Electronic Voting, PHP and Windows

October 31st, 2006 admin Comments

The social networking powerhouse MySpace and Fox Interactive Media unit said it has licensed security technology from GraceNote that will help it block unauthorized copyrighted music audio recordings from being posted on the MySpace.com Web site.

Sequoia Voting Systems, a major vendor of electronic voting machines in the United States, rejected allegations that Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez may have manipulated the vote tally in a Chicago election earlier this year.

Microsoft is officially helping to fund a joint effort with PHP vendor Zend to ensure that PHP works well on Microsoft’s server platforms.

Technically Speaking, more right around the corner!
