EIC Squared: Microhoo, OLPC, and the Twitter phenomenon

Post a comment

On this week's EIC Squared podcast, ZDNet's Larry Dignan and I discuss the latest developments in the Microhoo saga.

It appears that Microsoft will do anything to keep Google from cutting a deal with Jerry Yang. In addition, we discuss the One Laptop Per Child XO-2 device, as well as the ongoing fascination with Twitter by the digerati crowd, despite the fact that the site is often out of commission.

by Dan Farber

Post a comment

This week on the EIC Squared podcast Larry Dignan and I discuss the merits of AOL's $850 million Bebo acquisition and the status of Microsoft's pursuit of Yahoo. Apparently the Microsoft and Yahoo are holding informal talks. The general consensus among industry watchers is that Yahoo should take the money and run, especially if its first quarter earnings are going to disappoint Wall Street. Larry explains the role IT played in helping to turn Eliot Spitzer into an ex-governor of New York, and I outline the latest developments in the Semantic Web, including Yahoo's efforts in this emerging area.
