The folks that brought you the massively popular file-sharing service Kazaa are getting into the voice-over-IP Net phone biz with Skype. Kazaa cofounders Janus Friis and Niklas Zennstrom have launched what they claim is the first Internet phone service to use peer-to-peer software. In just its first week, 60,000 people downloaded the free Skype
software. The controversial pair say their Skype will "have a similar disruptive impact" to Kazaa's, but for traditional telephone companies instead of record companies. The question now is how long it will take for telecom companies--especially those that provide high-speed Net access as well as telephone service--to take the action against P2P VoIP as the entertainment industry did against file sharing.

Verisign, on Sep. 15, 03 added wildcard DNS records to all .com and .net domains - redirecting surfers who get lost on the Net to a search page, called Site Finder, run by the company. Those who type in non-existent addresses will be served up Site Finder, instead of an error message.
I tried typing the wrong spelling, and I got the following response.
We didn't find: "shantanuoakk.com"

Did You Mean ?
www.shantanuoak.com

Oh! wonderful, yes I did mean that. So now let me go the site. It's that simple.
VeriSign says, it's only providing a much-needed service that helps Web surfers rather than directing them to a dead-end 404 page.
Agreed!

When I participated in the online survey hosted by Yahoo a few days back, full of questions related to blog and RSS without menioning these two words anywhere, I knew Yahoo is entering in the hot technology of blogs and RSS.
Yahoo! RSS news feed at
http://news.yahoo.com/rss/
Feeds here include Top Stories, World, Business, Highest Rated, Most Viewed, and Most E-Mailed. They're also using blog feeds in their new blogging service at Yahoo
Korea. See the feeds by doing a Google search for rss filetype:xml site:kr.blog.yahoo.com . Considering that the service just launched, I don't think it's bad at all that Google's already found 37 of them.

I think blogs are a great method for recording our times. As such, future historians will have a more balanced view of the past.
-- James Morris, Wales
The great thing about blogs is that anyone can set one up. The only problem is that anyone can set one up.
-- Guy Chapman, UK
"If you want to reach millions you book an ad on TV," said Stefan Glanzer, one of the founders of blogging system 20six. "If you want to reach one person you use e-mail or the telephone. "But if you want to reach between 5 and 500 people a blog is the ideal tool to communicate," he said.
Mr Yates said part of the popularity of blogs was because the software used to create and maintain them was much easier to use than other webpage making tools. "To get yourself set up with a website and put interesting content on it there's a lot of hurdles to go through," he said. "Blogs are the democratisation of publishing," he said.

Updating your JournalSpace via e-mail is as simple as sending an e-mail to this address:
post@journalspace.com
The subject line of your e-mail will be the subject line of your post.
The first line of your e-mail message contains your authorization.
If your user name is shantanuo and your PBM password is india, you would type:

auth shantanuo india

That "auth" part is essential.
After you've done that, start typing your post on the next line. Whatever you type in the rest of your message after the authorization line will go into your post. For e.g.
