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.

“Twittering is just randomly bragging about your unexceptional life.”

Too funny to pass.

Yes you are reading that right, Facebook is bigger than Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Turkey combined in terms of population. Facebook has a staggering count of 150 million users according to Mark Zuckerberg (Founder, Facebook).

Country population breakdown:

Turkey – 71,892,808
Canada – 33,515,000
Australia – 21,468,700
New Zealand – 4,280,000
———————-
Total 131,246,508*

That, my friend, is really impressive! It makes you wonder how they keep their systems running smoothly, how they scale up rapidly.

Facebook has more than 10,000 servers and leverages mostly open-source software across a distributed architecture, with thousands of MySQL instances. “It’s almost a new challenge every day,”

Jonathan Heiliger (Vice President of Technical Operations, Facebook)
CNET interview

That’s not the only thing, Facebook has more than 10 billion photos! Some additional stats:

• 2-3 Terabytes of photos are being uploaded to the site daily
• Over one petabyte of photo storage
• Serving over 15 billion photo images per day
• Photo traffic peaks at over 300,000 images served per second

Truth is, impressive is an understatement.

There are tons of interesting people at FriendFeed. But these are the ones I highly recommend. They all have high-quality content on their feed.

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.
