The end of the world! Nope? How about TechCrunch is getting sold/bought?

Someone suggested Google Web Drive. I would love to have that, esp if it has a nice API and isn't too limited.

How Microsoft will spend its recently raised capital?

The web drive would be very cool to have, but it would be way bigger news to see an announcement from MSFT.
Google announces a real time search engine deal?

Ahh the realtime search engine would be fine, esp if I can ping it and if it accepts RSS in both directions. You know there's a really simple architecture in there (heh, sic) -- I wish someone would do it already. The engineers of Sliicon Valley are too busy reinventing stuff.
I just watched episode 4 of James Burke's Connections series, it's really great stuff. The guy who invented the Hollerith card, which was the first programming environment I worked in, chose to make the card the same size as the dollar bill at the time, because there was already a lot of machinery that worked with that size. That's the way good tech works, it builds on what we already know how to do, it doesn't try to undermine or replace it.

Well, wasn't too far off with the Google realtime search engine. It's google's realtime search-engine-fodder ;-)
Wave looks very cool.
You should slap together an RSS plugin for Wave, Dave. That would be really cool.
And you're exactly right. Most of the internet that lasts and stands the test of time is built that way.
If it wasn't Arrington, I'd say something Apple-related—an early release of their tablet, to let people play with it, and bing! have a massive feature gallore in two weeks.
Pair that with Microsoft Bing, a big news day, at least as BigCos would define it

No news outside of Techcrunch is worth this kind of tweet. Crunch pad. Last time we saw it, we saw packaging.....

Ok, seems to prob be Google and Yahoo. Hope the crunchpad will find a way to leverage the buzz around Apple's upcoming releases and come out right b4 then.
