The Nightly Build:
- Ebiquity, an internet research group comprised of students and faculty from the University of Maryland, released some interesting numbers on spam in the world of blogs (no I will not use that term). Highlights from the study: over 50 percent of blog pings are spam, most spam blogs are based in Mountain View CA and MySpace is now the largest contributer of to the world of blogs.
- For those Mac users who are lovin' Vista, Parallels has released a new build of its popular virtualization software. Parallels Release Candidate 2 adds full USB support, improvements to Coherence Mode and more.
- Google has added some more tools to its Webmaster Tools to include a way to view a much larger sample of pages that link to your site. From the Google Webmaster Central blog: “unlike the link: operator, this data is much more comprehensive and can be classified, filtered, and downloaded. All you need to do is verify site ownership to see this information.”
