The launch of a second authority-based Twitter search engine comes through. Twithority developed by Tsavo, works faster in returning results than it’s predecessor: Daymix (also launched by Tsavo). Twithority works by showing highest ranking users first, as well as showing most recent ones first, from the top 10,000 Twitter users. So if you feel the urge to check out who’s rolling on top, you know where to look.

Tired of the same old music services on the web? Audiolizer is one of the best music services that you could get on the web, and definitely a must try for 2009. Besides streaming music for FREE, one thing I liked about audiolizer was that your could import your iTunes library to Audiolizer, virtually giving you access to it anywhere.
The service is quite good and some unique features such as music discovery are absolutely brilliant. Most of all I loved the User Interface a lot.

I wished I had owned the domain YP.com! Today AT&T’s YellowPages
acquired YP.com from LiveDeal (formerly YP Corp.) for $3.85m in cash.
That’s a lot of money, considering the fact that the domain was only worth half the price it was paid for.

SecurityFocus’s Bugtraq site highlighted a vulnerability that effects windows users via Microsoft Media Player on Dec 24. The security company said that a remote code execution existed for media players ranging from version 9-11 for both XP and Vista based PC’s.
But Microsoft denies the reports and said that the results are false, although Microsoft did approve that the application crashes instead of effecting the rest of the system.

Twitter is set to release an update for its private message feature today. DMs will now be sent as D + username + message or DM + username + message. This however will spoil the fun for DMFail fans – a site which accumulates messages (DM) accidentally sent by people and makes them public.

Does the word OLPC make you remind something? Yes that’s right the organization trying to equip the world poorest children with cheap laptops for education. Today the OLPC released an advertisement based on Singing Legend John Lennon approving the cause.
In my opinion, being a fan of John Lennon. believe that bringing the dead star back into the scene for such publicity was a cheap act, and also that the ad was to dry.

Apple has slowly entered and conquered gadget domains from portable music devices ala iPod to smart mobile phones ala iPhone. However there are areas where Apple still doesn’t have much of a presence, in fact no product offering at all. Two of these categories include Netbooks and Tablet PCs. Given the fact that Netbooks have recently become really popular and Asus and Dell has managed to rack in significant profits from their offerings, its only reasonable to imagine that Apple would one day – and that would be soon – enter the Netbooks and even the Tablet PC category with sublime offerings of its own. And there wont be a better time to launch such PCs than the current bad times, that have made everyone much more frugal than they used to be. To top it all, people have already started demanding Apple Netbooks.
