Facebook and Social Startups Meme.

With trading sinking to the lower side of the scale at NASDAQ, Yahoo has somehow managed to creep up on that with a +0.59 change in its original price per share. The reason as highlighted by Michael Arrington at TechCrunch being that sources close to Microsoft and Yahoo have let loose a news that talks between the two have begun once again.

The news also gives rise to suspicion as to whether Microsoft still wants to get hold of the share or plans a total buyout.

Google Map Maker is reaching out some remote parts of the world, the ones whose data is not as good as it should be and also hoping locals will fill out the missing part if any. This is the reason one cannot use the tools everywhere. You can use the application to stuff the data of only few countries which includes:

You must have faced a lot of difficulty while taking a screen shot the conventional way i.e. ‘Print screen’ and then edit it with some editing tool. ScrnShots has found the solution for the problem. It is a community that hosts screen shots. The service is similar to Skitch. The site supports comments and also track popular shots just like Sketch. The thing which differentiates it from the other service is its availability on cross platforms. It can also be used as an image host if another screen shot utility (like Grab) is in already in use.
