Many young small-business owners - particularly in fields like clothing, graphic design, photography, publishing, and real estate - are discovering that they can effectively advertise on the site to a narrow, but often enthusiastic demographic.Mon, 08 May 2006 12:09:00 EDThttp://money.cnn.com/2006/05/05/technology/business2_thebrowser0505/index.htmhttp://money.cnn.com/2006/05/05/technology/business2_thebrowser0505/index.htmIn its hometown of Mountain View, Google is preparing to launch the first of many planned free, citywide Wi-Fi networks that may one day blanket the nation. But the search engine is running into some technical glitches. A city official says that the network may need more access points -- those are radios that broadcast an Internet-access signal -- to provide the expected coverage, and the launch of the network could be delayed until July. That's a big problem: Having to deploy more hardware could change the economics behind Google's free Wi-Fi plans. The company is counting on increased Web browsing and searching by Wi-Fi users to generate enough advertising to subsidize the cost of all that hardware.Fri, 05 May 2006 19:46:00 EDThttp://money.cnn.com/2006/04/24/technology/business2_browser0424/index.htmhttp://money.cnn.com/2006/04/24/technology/business2_browser0424/index.htmIt's a nightmare for any electronics maker planning a splashy launch: Key technical details and photos of the gadget show up on the Web prior to its premier. But Danger Research, the designer of the popular Sidekick smartphone, doesn't have a disgruntled employee to blame for the leak: It turns out the Federal Communications Commission published details of the new Sidekick III on its website, as it does with all new wireless devices that run on FCC licensed airwaves, unless manufacturers request confidentiality. Ironically, the FCC also published the request for confidentiality that Danger's manufacturing partner, Sharp, filed along with the photos.Mon, 24 Apr 2006 23:26:00 EDThttp://money.cnn.com/2006/03/31/technology/business2_browser0331/index.htmhttp://money.cnn.com/2006/03/31/technology/business2_browser0331/index.htmWhen Friendster started deleting profiles it deemed risque or otherwise objectionable, users bolted for the exits, helping to boost rival social networks like MySpace. Could MySpace be making the same mistake? Author Nicholas Carr characterized a recent move to close 200,000 accounts as a "purge." Ross Levinsohn, head of MySpace parent News Corp.'s Internet division, said the move was motivated by concerns for teen safety. That's certainly credible given the spate or recent incidents in which adults have been arrested for soliciting sex from minors met on the site. But mainstream marketers' concerns about questionable content may just go just as far in explaining its recent reform campaign. And with 250,000 new accounts opened daily, the closures hardly seem large enough to slow MySpace's momentum.Fri, 31 Mar 2006 17:34:00 ESThttp://money.cnn.com/2006/03/28/technology/pluggedin_fortune/index.htmhttp://money.cnn.com/2006/03/28/technology/pluggedin_fortune/index.htmWhen News Corp. paid $580 million for MySpace, an Internet site for teens and young adults, some people figured that Rupert Murdoch's fascination with all things digital had once again led him to overpay for a new-media property.Wed, 29 Mar 2006 15:53:00 ESThttp://money.cnn.com/2006/03/13/technology/business2_browser0313/index.htmhttp://money.cnn.com/2006/03/13/technology/business2_browser0313/index.htmWhen kids aren't blogging on MySpace, they're probably using instant messenger programs.
