As a result of Google buying FeedBurner way back in 2007, all FeedBurner users...Read Full Story

I have a recent posts widget installed on my blog and used Blogger's FEED GADGET to fetch the latest entries through my feedburner feed - http://feeds.feedburner.com/Websilog/ .

Twitter is really trying to become the company that everyone has it pegged to be, or at least it seems that way by their hiring tactics as of late. While the media daily predicts the emergence / unfettered growth / imminent doom of the micro-blogging service daily (are you sick of it yet?) Twitter goes about its merry way showing signs of brilliance (rapid growth) and signs of “WTF?!” (outages). The latest attempt to move to the next level, according to TechCrunch , is the hiring of...Read Full Story
