R.I.P Geocities – We’ll always remember the animated gifs
Saturday, April 25th, 2009 | Business, News, Yahoo | No Comments
It has just been reported that Yahoo has finally shut down age-old free web hosting service Geocities for good this time. Acquired by Yahoo! in 1999 for a whopping $2.87 billion, it was a service that many used to get their first website. Ohh how I will always remember those animated flame border .gifs and the flashing text featured all over the page…and who could forget the scrolling news going across the top of the screen…it was the coolest.
You were a legend, you will be missed.

YouTube EDU and Twitter Added To YouTube.com
Friday, March 27th, 2009 | News, Twitter, Video, WebApps | No Comments
Youtube.com has just recently released a new section of their site devoted to videos from educational sources. They’ve named it YouTube EDU and you can find it by following the link. Pretty much if you’ve ever wanted to find a lecture or speech given in any sort of collegiate atmosphere, this would be the place to go.
In addition to adding YouTubeEDU, they’ve also added a new feature throughout the video sharing site, a “share to Twitter,” link allowing you to ‘tweet’ any video with just one click. I guess for those of you who share videos on twitter frequently, this will save you from having to do your normal copy + paste.
Google.com Shows Up As Malware!
Saturday, January 31st, 2009 | google, Hack, News, Unusual | No Comments
This morning it seems that all of a sudden every result in the US-based Google.com search engine now is tagged as being Malware, even prompting users to not visit the site due to potential harm to their computer. This includes searches for Google.com (which also for some reason are showing Google ads in Spanish).
Google Fail.
Happy New Years – Google Updated Their Toolbar PageRank
Wednesday, December 31st, 2008 | google, News, Site Information, Software Update | No Comments
I know that I’m a few hours early for most of you but I just wanted to wish everyone a Happy New Years! Apparently Google wanted to get in on the celebration as they’ve just recently (sometime in the past 24 hours) updated the Google Toolbar PageRank. Don’t get too excited now kids, this isn’t that big of a news announcement….the Toolbar PageRank is considered by most to be outdated pretty much the moment that it updates. Bummed out? You shouldn’t be, it’s only one of hundreds of factors that Google takes into account in their ranking algorithm.
The entire crew over here at AddTo10.com would like to wish you and your loved ones a safe and happy NYE….. Happy New Year!
The Addicted To 1s and 0s team will be on vacation/haitus until January 10th but we hope you’ll come and visit us once we get back from a much needed vacation….cheers!
