Week in Review #7

Two weeks since the last Week in Review? Well, that’s what Inman does to you, I suppose.
Anyway, before we begin, I should mention that I should probably consider joining a blogger’s union. I would come up with some cute slogan or chant, but I’m drawing a blank right now. Oh well, I suppose it’s partly [...]

Week in Review #6

I can’t believe it’s already Friday — what happened to the rest of the week? Oh well — what does Friday mean? You know it: Oodle’s weekly news roundup! Sure, Google bought a femtocell company, MySpace Mexico launched and Digg launched its Digg Widgets, but what about BandTracker? It’s one of the best music applications [...]

Week in Review #5

Ah, Friday. We’ve got the weekend ahead and a week of news behind – what could be better? How about Oodle’s hot Facebook app BandTracker being named one of the top 10 Facebook apps?
Or how about the Dow Jones approving the sale of the Wall Street Journal for $5 billion? Or Facebook’s acquisition of Parakey?

Week in Review #4

There wasn’t an extraordinarily large amount of news this week, but that doesn’t mean that the news wasn’t interesting. To kick off this week’s Week in Review, let’s head over to Vik, who wrote an awesome post comparing Craigslist alternatives.

On a different note, Allen Stern over at Center [...]

Kijiji and Oodle

On Tuesday July 3rd, eBay quietly launched Kijiji in the US. A number of people have been asking us both what this means for eBay and for Oodle.
In short, we think the launch of Kijiji is good for eBay, good for Oodle, and, most importantly, great for consumers. With Kijiji and other [...]

Week in Review #2

It was one interesting week in news last week, with big stories aplenty. Not only was Oodle’s awesome new service BandTracker listed among the best Facebook applications, but we learned that Canada’s online ad market will be worth over $2 billion by 2011, which is pretty cool considering the launch of Oodle Canada.
In different news, [...]

Week in Review #1

Welcome to the first installment of Oodle’s ridiculously comprehensive Week in Review. It’s been a pretty interesting week, not only for Oodle but also for the Internet world and, of course, celebrities. So let’s get things started.
Besides the fact that Google and eBay have (finally) made up, the most interesting sector of news comes from [...]
