Here’s an announcement on their site:
Yahoo! acquires Xoopit.
Xoopit is joining Yahoo! to make the world’s best email even better.
Yahoo! will be integrating both our photo sharing applications and our content indexing and discovery technology into Yahoo! Mail and other services over the coming months.
Xoopit has emerged as a leader in mail applications, indexing and content discovery. Yahoo! has recognized that Xoopit’s technology elevates photos to the forefront of people’s everyday email experiences. Mail is the original online photo sharing experience, and combining these two products results in an evolved inbox experience. Yahoo! Mail users can expect to see their mail become even more efficient, social and fun!
The Xoopit team would like to thank our users for all the support and guidance in developing a service that people love. We would also like to thank our angels and venture investors, Charles Moldow from Foundation Capital and Theresia Gouw Ranzetta from Accel Partners for wisdom and commitment along the way!
The official announcement from Yahoo! can be found here.
Dear Xoopit team, I hope you’ll never share our Gmail account information to Yahoo! Thanks and looking forward to the Yahoo! Mail integration.

Google Reader just released new features such as people you can now follow, liking a post, grouping of people you follow, finding publicly shared items. Features seems familiar? Yes, you got it right. They’ve been features of FriendFeed for quite some time now.

I just logged in the new interface of Google Adwords. The look and feel of the new AdWords is now very much like Google Analytics.
First screenshots of the new Google AdWords interface.
Do you like how it looks like? To fuel the fire, I’m using Google AdWords everyday and I can definitely say that this is a huge improvement. The new ajaxy interface gives it a desktop-app-like feel. I’ve tried loading it in Google Chrome and was blazing fast. The old interface for me was very clunky and slow. So any improvement from that is a jump ahead.
Kudos to the Google AdWords team for making this improvement. It’s really cool!

I just read this at Friendfeed. Is this really the new Google favicon?
Wonder why they keep on changing it. But I like this new one better.

At last, Google’s Gmail released a new lab feature today – Tasks. This cool feature directly competes with favorite to-do list services such as Remember The Milk (RTM) and Tada-List. Here’s a quick screenshot of the new feature below:
By the way, I love how unobtrusive it is and how it integrates well with your email. I’m definitely going to start using this over Tada-list which have been my list manager for a long time now. The only advantages (that I know) of tada-list right now are 1) It is stand-alone. No need to login/load your email. 2) It is easily shareable and 3) It is lightweight and it has a better/intuitive interface.
Meanwhile, Remember the Milk has been pushing cool features here and there. Thing is, I’ve never been accustomed to using it everyday, unlike Tada-list. But I’m sure a lot of people use it everyday.
To enable Gmail’s “Tasks”, go to Settings, click the Labs tab. Select “Enable” next to “Tasks” and then click “Save Changes” at the bottom. Then, after Gmail refreshes, on the left under the “Contacts” link, you’ll see a “Tasks” link.
A quick shortcut to your “Tasks” list is G+K (assuming you have keyboard shortcuts enabled) when you are logged in to Gmail.

I’m an avid subscriber of NETTUTS. A popular tech blog that covers a wide range of topics about web development such as HTML, CSS, Javascript, CMS’s, PHP and Ruby on Rails. I was curious how many of their pages are actually indexed at Google and I tried to learn more.
Let’s take a look how many pages at NETTUTS are indexed. Note that this will vary from one location to another, as well as ISP used and nearest datacenter used by Google (I’m currently testing this in North America and the count is going to be variable and approximate).
Let’s hit “site:nettuts.com” at Google. They have approximately 588 indexed pages. Now let’s see how many backlinks they have. Let’s hit “link:nettuts.com“. They have approximately 1,400 links going back to them.
The numbers above are not really that much. However, what matters here is when you look at their RSS feed subscriber count, they have 14,400.
So, what’s the point? Sites like NETTUTS still proves that content is king. It doesn’t matter 100% how many pages of your site are indexed at Google, what’s really important is that you deliver quality content to your visitors.
The rest follows.

I’ve been searching for a quick link to Google Profiles on Google.com and there really isn’t one that is obvious to the regular users. It’s actually buried in a help page from Google.
So, here is the link to your Google Profile, making it easy for everyone else who is having a hard time looking for it.

Want to search for someone else’s profile on Google? Easy. Let’s say you are looking for Barack Obama’s Google Profile. Just go here…
http://www.google.com/s2/profiles?q=
…then simply enter “Barack Obama”.
That was easy right? Yeah I know, it’s pretty cool.

Google just launched 30 new themes to Gmail.
Some people don’t see it yet. So, try to logout and re-login to see the new Themes at the Settings.
Really cool Gmail team!
