This is a cool “little” feature in the latest version of Google Reader. if you subscribe to multiple people’s Shared Items’ blogs (I call that a link blog) it won’t send you duplicate items anymore, but will show you how many people actually linked to it. That’s a KILLER feature. But, what’s next?
Online Shoppers Have Little Patience
Close to three-quarters of online shoppers (73%) will ditch an ecommerce site within one or two minutes of not finding the products they are looking for according to a survey sponsored by SLI Systems and conducted by Zoomerang.
Wal-Mart’s Little Linux PC That Could
Could what, one might wonder? Unless the Wal-Mart shopping public that bought out the first run of 10,000 Everex, Ubuntu-powered, $199 PCs returns them in droves, maybe it’s time for Microsoft to become concerned.
Cool New Little Facebook Feature
So, four people unfriended me from Facebook today. Given that I have 4,995 friends that’s probably to be expected. But I have 150 waiting to get onto my friends list. But that brings me to the new feature that just appeared.

Search Eats Little Of Food Budgets
The food and beverage industry is the leader in the U.S. consumer packaged goods (CPG) when it comes to online advertising, but they only put 2.1 percent of their total $8.7 billion advertising budget online in 2006.
StreetAdvisor Gives Little Guidance
After two and a half months in private beta, StreetAdvisor has become available to the general public. And yet I have to say that StreetAdvisor is “available to” – as opposed to “ready for” – the public, because the site is the cyber equivalent of a ghost town.
StreetAdvisor is intended to be a place for people to review and research residential streets throughout America, the UK, Canada, and Australia.
Yahoo’s Core Rings A Little Hollow
Yahoo’s properties have gained overall by Compete’s computations, but the gains haven’t been led by the big name content areas like Search, Maps, or Sports.
A Little Help From Your Friends on Reddit
Reddit is one of the most difficult social sites to get your content popular on. It can drive thousands of visitors to websites and hundreds of links, but the question is how can you get to the top of the homepage so you can get the traffic and links?
We already know that good content and attractive post titles can really help get a story to the top of social sites. Another obviously important factor that helps a story get to the top is the amount of votes it gets. On most social sites, the friends feature can help a story get a large amount of votes in a short amount of time. If you are not too familiar with the friends feature that social sites have, it is the feature that allows one user to befriend other users.
