Sometimes stories make the news that I just don’t report on. Usually, it is because I think that everything has been said about it or at least there is some other great author out there that could add more value on a subject than I could. Some days, however, it is because there is just too much news to go around. This might be one of them, so here is a roundup of the events that I won’t be reporting on in-depth.

Facebook

Soon, on a search engine near you, you will be able to search for previews of Facebook profiles. The reactions have, as they always are, been mixed. Om Malik gives a good summary of the event (scheduled to occur next month) and Steve O’Hear explains how this move could actually empower users.

Microsoft

Microsoft has gone Hollywood. They will be using Entertainment Tonight, HSN and yes, the World Wrestling Federation to promote their new media-plugin Silverlight. Each of this companies will be building mini-sites based on the platform.

Apple

Finally, it’s Apple rumor day! I have mostly avoided reporting on this because I want to get a chance to see what “real news” comes out of it. Stay tuned just about anywhere for updates, but if you are in a hurry for more water cooler dish then Ars Technica is covering it live.

Web 2.0 Roundup

After a few weeks of slow news it looks like the blogosphere is finally starting to wake up from hibernation. I guess it’s time to get back to work.
