New Feature - Orkut Promote

 

Orkut has rolled out it’s latest feature to few people, which attempts to integrate social bookmarking. You can create promotions to share text, pictures and YouTube videos.

You can view your previously created promotions. There is a restriction of 5 promotions per day. There is no feature with which the people who are spreading the promotion can leave any comments.

I’m not sure how many people would use this feature for social bookmarking and how many would use this feature for spamming their own communities and websites. I would not be surprised if this feature fails, there isn’t much into this really!

Yahoo gives up search for Microsoft

 

Microsoft is going strong with their products lately to compete with Google,  Yahoo would soon be shutting down it’s search engine and would be handling ad sales whereas Microsoft would be directing the traffic to the data with Bing.

95659-500-352

The combined search market share of Yahoo and Microsoft would approach 30%. That's still far below Google's 65%, but analysts say it may provide enough of a critical mass at least to stave off further Google advances and help the enlarged search engine gain some ground.

Soon you would be searching with Bing from Yahoo’s Homepage.Bye bye Yaaahhoooo---ooowoooh!.
