Aloha and Welcome to Today’s WOW Technology Minute
Social networking site MySpace, is the second most visited site on the Internet.
MySpace CTO Aber Whitcomb recently joined Bill Gates on stage and said, “Our business depends on giving each of our 65 million registered members a unique and compelling user experience.”
With 35 million visitors last month, they have some serious web server needs. What I find interesting is the lengths Mr. Whitcomb went to praise Microsoft for their server and database software. Especially on merits of reliability and scalability. Sounds really good but in stark contrast to news of Vista being delayed for consumers.
Unrelated but interesting was the new of a special extension in the next version of Internet Explorer. Simple List Extensions will allow users to interact with RSS feeds and hopefully will somehow make our efforts here at WOW, more valuable for you.
From Aloha Workshops on the Big Island of Hawaii, this is Brent Norris for The World Organization of Webmasters and The WOW Technology Minute.
