It’s a brand new sponsor for the Moxie Mo Show and this one is much different than any sponsors we’ve had to date: Chemistry.com – the sister site to Match.com. Chemistry.com gives you much more of a chance to find chemistry with someone who will match with you and your personality and has a hugely successful matching rate. When you use this link, you get 25% off your entire membership. Doesn’t get moxier than that.
In tech news, the war of words began this morning when a blogger from ZDNet.com (owned by CNET and CBS) claimed they’ve uncovered Yahoo.com’s deepest and darkest secrets. An inside source (in Iran) of the blogger claimed he had proof that Yahoo sold over 200,000 Iranian accounts to the Iran government during the fighting and botched elections which sparked massive protests, unfair jailing and torturing as well as death. ZDnet’s blogger claimed he knew that if all pans out, this would be the damning news that would literally put Yahoo out of business since this would most definitely be considered a major human rights violation. That said, within a few hours of the blog post (spread all over the web by Twitter and Facebook), the story was retracted by ZDNet’s Editor in Chief due to Yahoo’s pressure stating they undeniably claim this rumor is absurd and false… and oh yeah, the blogger didn’t even call Yahoo for investigation or comments and his 1 source, well lets just say he must not have been too trustworthy. A huge ouch to ZDNet, CNET and CBS.
Paranormal Activity, the low budget movie that has received more buzz than any scary movie since Blair Witch Project, is trying to get Twitter and Facebook friends to visit their site to demand that they get the film into national release. Currently, it’s only playing in select cities, but if the producers get 1 million clicks, then they will release this unbelievably scary movie to the public all over the nation. Check out this trailer – and hold on to your seat!
Last but not least, Vimeo announced they are launching a Desktop App that will allow all Vimeo users to directly upload multiple HD files from their desktop directly to their Vimeo account. Within minutes, you can have 5 HD movies up and running and waiting to be viewed, shared or even embedded – we have all the details and when the app will be released.
