By Mark O’Neill Contributing Writer, [GAS] Duncan Riley over at the Inquisitr has a very thought-provoking piece on what may happen to Digg if the rumored $200 million purchase deal between Digg and Google goes through as planned. Will Digg become a central important plank of the Google empire or will it become another Feedburner […]
In a world with more than 100 million blogs, do you find it difficult to find new and interesting things to read? How do you sift through all of the noise to find blogs that you might like? Would you like a simple way to find good content? Maybe Toluu will save the day for […]

As much as I love my Gmail, there are still a few things that annoy me about it and the main bone of contention centers around the address book.

By Mark O’Neill Contributing Writer, [GAS] The other day I blogged about Chinese bloggers writing backwards to escape government censors and about Iranian bloggers facing a possible death sentence if they say the wrong thing to annoy Mr “Two Loaves Short Of a Breadbasket” Ahmadinejad. Well today I read that it’s apparently no better in […]
By Mark O’Neill Contributing Writer, [GAS] You have to hand it to Chinese bloggers – they are determined to get the truth out, no matter what. OK, they are not facing the death sentence like their fellow counterparts in Iran but nevertheless, they still face prison for their opinions. At the very least, their work […]
By Mark O’Neill Contributing Writer, [GAS] Many people are looking forward to this November’s presidential elections. Some are looking forward to voting in a new president and ushering in a new era, but others are looking forward to it for other reasons – financial opportunities. A teen has been arrested and charged after allegedly offering […]
