techFive - 11/24/06

techFive LogoSeems like a slow week in the world of the web, but five things that you should know about:

1. Can Yahoo! and Local Papers Save Each Other?Â? - The inclusion of local, traditional mediaÂ? forÂ? the users of theÂ? Internet giant isn’t something to be ignored. MakesÂ? Yahoo! more full-service while giving relevance to an otherwise dated service.

2. Yahoo!’sÂ? Brad Garlinghouse Makes His Power Move -Â? The internal memo was printed in full in the WSJ. I strongly support Yahoo! without quite bleeding purple and yellow, and I wanted to post a comment about this article but haven’t had time. Definitely big news, but will there be changes?

3. Universal Music Sues MySpaceÂ? - It was only a matter of time before this happend, and one can only expect that something similar may be in the works for YouTube (Also see this article on Google VideoÂ? being sued).

4. MySpace Attack Highlights Firefox Flaw - Many of my posts lately have surrounded security and spamming/phishing. As someone who doesn’t use Firefox, not a big concern to me, but definitely a shot against the browser.

5. Trust in Media - Well, it’s been a month and I think this is the first time I’ve linked to my article for the techFive. It’s about the false article that made the front page of Digg. For more on Digg, see this article from GigaOm.com.
