MySpace introduced MySpace Mail

MySpace has taken social networking into a new whole level by intorducing MYSpace Mail. According to a web report, MySpace Mail would be made available to all 130 million MySpace users in stages in a couple of weeks.

The e-mail service would end with MySpace users putting their username infront of '@myspace.com'. According to a statement by MySpace, the new MySpace Mail signals the readiness of MySpace to take on larger companies such as Google, Yahoo and Microsoft. At the current moment, MySpace Mail is still at it's beta phase testing, and once ready is expected to boast a lot of additional functions, most notably thier unlimited storage space.

Curently, MySpace is gaining stiff competition with Facebook, while old time favourite, Friendster is finding itself lagging behind.

Bing Replaces Yahoo!

In a much shocking news, Yahoo Inc finally decided that their search engine would be 'sold' to Microsoft whom has unveiled Bing as an alternative search engine to users a few weeks ago.

It what seems to be a move to quash Google's dominance in the search engine market, Microsoft's Bing search engine will power the Yahoo website and Yahoo will in turn become the advertising sales team for Microsoft's online offering.

With that fact in mind, reports online suggest that Yahoo would concentrate on their multimedia content and fantasy leagues which are considered un-rivaled in the internet.

According to analyst, as Google remains as the top search engine at the moment, Bing would have a lot of catching up to do to even pinch Bing.

A quick look at Bing reveals that it has a light, yet interesting interface for interaction, but search results for any certain search or maybe called 'bing' came back rather disappointing. Indeed, it is certainly what one would expect from a new search engine, but with Microsoft's large capital, they might eventually match Google in terms of search result, although it is largely doubtful whether Google will ever give in from being the number one search engine world wide.
