Yahoo Loosing Grounds…..This Time it’s Facebook

February 18th, 2010 by admin No comments »

Not much longer, Yahoo lost its share in search engine market. Just two years back, the giant Google was ranked as internet’s most popular destination overtaking Yahoo. And this time it is beaten by Facebook.

In the decades of 90s the Yahoo completely dominated the internet through its ubiquitous portal. Yahoo Search, Yahoo Mail, Yahoo Chat, Yahoo Games, Yahoo News and what not.

The data released by compete.com, last month revealed, in December 2009, Yahoo had 133.45 million visitors in the U.S. while Facebook wasn’t far behind with 132.13 million unique visitors.

But perhaps this New Year, Netizens felt it better to hang on to their Facebook account to get connected with friends and as result, Facebook traffic rose to 133.62 million visitors, while that of Yahoo shrunk down to 132.00 million.

Ranked no. 2, just after Google, currenlty in terms of popularity, Facebook now has more than 400 Million users.

Twitter Really Gone HIGHER this time!

January 24th, 2010 by admin No comments »

Finally astronauts in space have access to internet now. Timothy Creamer, the space station resident had been working to establish internet access from orbital post ever since he moved in the last month.

On Friday, he got success and tweeted truly from space “

Hello Twitterverse! We r now LIVE tweeting from the International Space Station — the 1st live tweet from Space! :) More soon, send your ?s . 10:13 PM Jan 21st from web

Before, the orbiting astronauts had to send such Twitter updates by email to Mission Control in Houston. Then controllers posted the tweets. But now they can have access to internet right on their laptop by connecting it through remote access to a desktop ay Mission Control.

The astronauts will be subject to the same Internet access guidelines as other on-the-job government employees, namely no interfering with work. Though the same regulations will be applied to astronauts for accessing internet during work as that of any other Govt. employee sitting in office- no interfering with work.
