If the Micro-Morons would stop trying to attach Windows, Live, MSN, or .Net to everything they did, they might get lucky. People might mistake some of their offerings for something they actually want to use and they'd have users.

If they had to sell prophylactics they would be dumb enough to attach their precious brand name to it.

I understand the marketing angle to it, but it reeks more or arrogance and presumption, mainly because the public increasingly distrusts the company and anything they produce.

Lookcube is a brand new local classifieds website that I developed and launched in May.

Classifieds is a great space to be in right now - traffic is growing and competition is heating up. Competition will bring about innovation and even better ways to buy, sell, and find things locally. I created Lookcube because as good as Craigslist is, I think there is a lot of room to improve. I also built Lookcube to help out small businesses and online sellers - over the new few months Lookcube will be rolling out features to make it easy to promote your small business or store as well as manage the contacts you make through our site.

It's an exciting time to be a classifieds website - too bad Microsoft is going to miss it!

15 sites that went kaput in 2009

Web sites launch all the time, but they also shut their doors. We highlight 15 that bit the dust this year.

Top 10 news stories of the decade

Let the debate begin: Was the iPhone more important than iTunes? Was anything bigger than Google finding a great business model? CNET offers its list of the 10 most important stories of the '00s.

About The Social

CNET News' Caroline McCarthy is a downtown Manhattanite who believes that, despite popular opinion, the Web can actually help your social life. She's happily addicted to fun social-media tools from Twitter to Yelp to Facebook, sends an inordinate number of text messages, and has a tendency to waste time at the office reading restaurant blogs. Here, she explores all facets of the Web's gregarious side, as well as the unique tech culture in her home city of New York. (Don't call it Silicon Alley.)
