Say hello to the newest top-level domain on the block, .tel.
The new domain serves as an information hub for all of your contact
information (phone numbers, email addresses, social network
usernames, etc.). You better act fast when the domains go on sale
to the public though, unless you don't mind being
Charles829383.tel.

Pandora's mobile app has topped Apple's list of most downloaded
free iPhone apps of the year. Recently, the online music service
announced that its app had past the 2 million download mark.
That's certainly music to the struggling company's ears.

Vlingo has thrown its voice into the voice-activated mobile phone
app ring. Unlike the one Google released a few weeks ago,
Vlingo's app lets you voice auto-dial and dictate Facebook and
Tweeter updates. Your move Google.

CBS has taken over Yahoo's Launchcast music service, making
itself an even more formidable force in the online music
business. Meanwhile, Yahoo continues to dismember itself in the
hopes of stopping its financial bleeding.

In these tough economic times, even the Spendy McGee's at Google
have had to make cutbacks. Shorter free lunch periods, no
afternoon tea and no more solid gold chairs. I may have made up
that last one, but the company's financial concerns are very
real.

YouTube is cracking down on sexually suggestive content by
broadening its guidelines for applying age restrictions on
videos. Please verify your age to find out what the new
guidelines are.

Comedy Central has launched a new comedy site where users can
find videos of stand-up performances, a joke database and
comedy-related blogs. And wouldn't you know it, I have nothing
funny to say about it.
