If you are into Twitter, then you would probably know how hard it is to find someone in Twitter’s interface. WebProNews has recently developed a directory for Twitter users.
Twellow provides a comprehensive directory, categorized by different interests, so that people can search for Twitter users quickly.
If you haven’t done so, follow me on Twitter.

I just found this website and it offers evaluation service for blogs.
All I did was answering 19 questions about the traffic & money earned from the blog etc. And it would display an estimation of how much my blog is worth.
Well, I am not sure who would actually buy my blog at this price. But if someone is interested, and would offer something similar to this price, I think I would seriously consider it.
After all, maintaining this blog is not about money (of course, good if I can get more money). It is about my passion towards the industry. I am quite happy with what I have right now.
44,220

Yes, you have read the title right. Microsoft is going to launch their own social bookmarking site. Apart from Live bookmark.
A preview version should be available for MSDN and TechNet in a very short time (probably within a few days).
Not a surprise - this new social bookmarking site allows users to:
Why is there another social bookmarking site? MS reveals that the new site should open another stream of advertising income, and also to collect tag data to improve search result relevancy.

Do you want to host a website in Google? Now you got the chance. Google announced the preview release of the new Google App Engine, which allows you to build and run applications in Python in Google’s server infrastructure.
And guess what, it is free!
The Google App Engine applications are easy to build and maintain. You do not need to maintain your own server or hosting, as Google generously provides 500MB space for free. All you have to do is to upload the application, and it would be done. You can use a free domain name from appspot.com, or your own domain. You can also choose to share the finished application with the world or limit it to just yourself.
Did I mention free? Same as most of the other Google applications, having an account is free. The bandwidth should allow you do serve about 5 million page views a month, according to Google.
At this stage only free accounts are available. However, in the near future, you would probably be able to purchase more disk space.
Other features include (but not limited to):
