Is Hi5 still alive when Facebook is the in thing

Tuesday, February 19th, 2008

For every social networking site, there is always a typical market of users. Hi5 has the usual profile, friends and group pages. With photos and videos upload plus widgets. However, there is no large developer groups developing applications for Hi5. How can they match up to thousands of applications available on facebook?

Sometimes, it is not the state of the art of applications that drives the social networking site. It is the us, the end-users of social networking site that determines the soul of the site.

For me Hi5 ease of use scores. Plus a couple of unique groups make Hi5 interesting.

Feel free to add me at my Hi5 account at http://alientyc.hi5.com/

Thursday, February 14th, 2008

UK-base Fasthosts recently started to provide Microsoft Office software as a SAAS service.

What is SaaS?

SaaS represents ‘Software as a Service’. Unlike a usual software which we purchase and installed onto our pc/laptops, SaaS provides the usage of software via the internet. No real installation is needed to be executed on the pc/laptops. We just need to access the SaaS when needed to use Microsoft Office over the internet.

So by subscribing to SaaS for Microsoft Office, we will practically pay a monthly fee from £4.99. (more…)
