The BBC Sound Index 5:23pm on 20 May 2008 This facility has STACKS of potential; not just for sifting through pop music - but for following other trends across networks / forums etc.

Really interesting post Darren, thanks!

Thumb bashing at the Golden Joysticks 4:25pm on 19 May 2008 Why do they still call these awards; "The Golden Joysticks?"

Think about it - what percentage of gamers actually use a Joystick these days?

Three percent - five percent perhaps?

Games systems use controllers and have done since the NES and megadrive. Most PC gamers use a mouse and keyboard.

Can any one think of a BETTER name for the awards?

MicroHoo - talking again 08:03am on 19 May 2008 Hello Rory,

I'm amazed at how quickly Microsoft has gone back to Yahoo - but I'm even more amazed that it is not with a full-on takeover bid.

That's clearly what they wanted and in my opinion, what they needed if they were to stand a chance of gaining ground on Google.

Google needs some competition, with what's becoming a near monopoly in search and search advertising. I'm just not sure that a joint Microsoft / Yahoo venture is goinig to be the answer.
