Here’s a cool site that’s an online directory of widgets. It’s sorta like Digg, a type of social network where you can submit, rate, and find widgets for your website.

Heck, we might even submit out Beer Widgets and see how it does.

Widgiland is a directory of online widgets. It houses thousands of widgets for web, desktop and mobile platforms. Users can select widgets for their blogs and personal web pages, for forums and email, for feeds, and search and for messaging among other things. Widgets are categorized by type and by platform, for instance iGoogle, Pageflakes, and NetVibes.

Well, this is a blog about whether Icahn’s new decision will make a better internet for all of us or not.

What is proposing is a serious push for Yahoo (YHOO) and Microsoft (MSFT) to merge, this is great for investors, a serious threat to the internet community.

To Icahn’s letter and his new Nominees, the only concern I have is that MicroHoo will not be so great for us consumers.

Why?

Well, Microsoft has proven itself “useless” with its new Vista operating system. I do not condone “monopolized” technology that does not work well. If Vista proved to be otherwise, I might not think this way but especially after how Microsoft and all its partner PC retailers including Dell, HP, and others have NOT PROVIDED an XP solution to the new computers, this MicroYahoo thing will just kill off Yahoo completely and eventually we are all going to end up using crappy software and web search engine from Microsoft.

On the bright side, Microsoft has done some good things like the TellMe service for blackberry and the World Wide Telecope. They are doing more things to make the internet better but I am just afraid of what’s on the back of their mind.

I won’t even go back to the Netscape Microsoft era but I think Microsoft will do better if they stayed completely away from the search engine market as much as possible. Heck, they have Live search, why do they need to aquire Yahoo?

What I’d rather see than MicroHoo

Personally, I would rather see Google (GOOG) + Yahoo (YHOO), a GooHoo search engine would be more likely better fit for us consumers.

According to recent rumors, Apple’s iPhone, will offer a “premium” 3G service, supposedly a lot faster.

Will consumers jump on the bandwagon?

I’d say hell no as a previous users of AT&T’s “premium” service (when it was Cingular), the premium 3G service is still slower than Sprint’s CDMA network.

Heck, I did a lot of testing over at our dot com blog when 3G was out about a year ago.

What iPhone needs is WiMax, a proven technology that seems to take years to get in the hands of U.S. consumers including me.

iPhone + 3G Premium = Still really slow browsing, still really slow twitts, still really slow whatever.

What Apple should have done is partner with Sprint in the beginning and they would have a lot faster speeds by now and 5 to 10 times faster once Sprint rolls out their WiMax.

Clearwire + Sprint = bad

AT&T + Apple = bad

Sprint + Apple = good

Clearwire + AT&T = good (let the bad companies work together so we don’t have to face them…)

According to a discovery by Chronic Productions, published earlier this weekend, and relayed by MacRumors, Engadget Mobile, et al., prospective users of the next iteration of Apple’s most ambitious mobile device will be given the option to browse the Internet via 3G broadband or by way of the now-standard 2.5G/EDGE connection. All you’ll have to do is flip a software-based switch, similar to how iPhone users currently transfer between EDGE and Wi-Fi connectivity.
