With a few hours time on my hands at the weekend, I’ve finally splashed for the Flickr Pro account. At US$24.95 it seems like a fine price but why, Flickr, why don’t you print photos for Ireland eh? Mind you, I did make use of that Photobox offer this week and bagged myself 58 prints…

Track Web 2.0 Development In The UK
As another possible alternative for the now dead Techcrunch UK (if you’re not already reading the terrific Vecosys), Techscape has launched with a strong focus on tracking Web 2.0 developments in the UK. In fairness, the blog launched back in November but I’ve only discovered it today and have to say, its impressive. Friendly layout,…
Web 2.0 Companies Starting To Fall
VentureBeat this morning takes a look at some of the names around the ‘web 2.0’ industry that are now starting to crumble and fall including FilmLoop.com who raised $7m last year in funding only to lay off the majority of its work force recently.

From Rumour To Reality – Google Buys Youtube
A text message at half eleven at night to tell me that Google just acquired Youtube. Last week it was just a rumour, now its a US$1.65 billion reality. Guess its one thing that Google, with all their millions, couldn’t make on their own. Will this mark an end to Google Video? Who knows! Techcrunch…

Buy A Search Engine… on eBay
DigForIt is on sale…. on eBay no less. I’m not overly worried since I still only turn up number 3 on their search rankings (drawing references from Google, MSN and Yahoo). Must really work on turning up the search engine heat on my own sites. Anyway, DigForIt is a meta search engine, catering for searches…
Get Web 2.0 Certified
Caught this one yesterday and it amuses me…. Yes folks, you can now get web two certified! If you’ve got rounded corners on your site, have a blog, or maybe stuck in a CC license, or talk about anything mobile then you might just be Web 2.0 certifiable and never knew it! What people get…
