News portals are top online news sources
A recent study found that people prefer news portals —like Yahoo News, Google News, AOL — as their main online news sources rather than the online edition of major news outlets like CNN, CBS, and the New York Times.

Breaking: Yahoo partners with Twitter!
This is Yahoo!'s latest move into social media landscape. You'll see real-time public Twitter updates on Yahoo! News, Finance, Entertainment as well as Search. Cool.
Not to be left out of the Twitter partnership spree, Yahoo (NSDQ: YHOO) is set to announce a deal with Twitter this evening to integrate the microblogging service across its properties worldwide. Yahoo users will now be able to access their personal Twitter feeds and update their Twitter status on Yahoo sites, including the home page (which already allowed users to edit their status on social networks including MySpace and Facebook). In addition, Yahoo says that all of its properties—including News, Finance, Entertainment and Sports—will soon feature “real-time public Twitter updates.” And like Microsoft’s Bing and Google, Yahoo will also add real-time Twitter results to its search engine.

Google launching Twitter-killer!
Following the launch of Yahoo's "status-casting" for its email service back in August 2009, Google will also allow its email users to their update status. Google could announce "the Twitter-killer" as soon as this week, according to the Wall Street Journal.
The prompt reads, "let people know what you're up to, or share links to photos, videos, and Web pages." But every time a user updates their status, the previous update disappears into the ether.The WSJ says the new feature will "allow Gmail users to view a stream of status updates from people they choose to connect with." It will be tightly integrated with Google's video-sharing site YouTube and its photo-sharing site Picasa.

Facebook email? No, thanks!
When it comes to the online activity, the following is my daily habit in the morning: checking my emails, Twitter and blog's Dashboard.
Frankly speaking, even having two email accounts are too many for me. But those [Yahoo! Mail and Gmail] really help in term of personal email management. I am using Yahoo! Mail for all services' subscriptions and Gmail for self-hosted domain name's mail. I even often Twitter's private messages (called DM) to ping some friends.
Getting notice recently that Facebook is now planning to launch its own webmail service, I am a bit surprised. Do we need a new [web-based] email? Oh wait. Might be Facebook is not targeting user like me. If Facebook is eyeing common users, instead of a user like me, so it does make sense. Why? Because Facebook is becoming less relevant for me. I refuse to even use Facebook for message things.Yahoo, Bing better than Google for #iPad image search reveals
With so much excitement around the device, the disappointing part is that though a week has passed since we saw the first iPad unit, Google Images still has no clue about the existence of this Apple device.
Okay, so Facebook a major news site now ?
Facebook is now the fourth largest source of traffic to news and media sites, according to data crunched by Hitwise. "I always knew it would happen, but not this quickly," my friend Alan Soon wrote.
