It looks like Yahoo is testing out a whole new homepage design. Looks like they are really trying to push their apps and Ebay in this new redesign which can be seen below.

New Google Favicon?

Not sure how new it is but it is the first time I’ve seen it. It’s still a lower case G but it has the Google colors in the background. Check it out for yourself when you get a chance.

Origins of Popular Web 2.0 terms

ReadWriteWeb has a great post here that comes up out with the origins of popular Web 2.0 terms. My favorite one has to be the one for FTW:

FTW is most commonly understood as standing for “For the Win!” The Urban Dictionary says it entered popular culture via the TV show Hollywood Squares. The show featured two contestants playing a trivia based tic-tac-toe game where the squares had celebrities siting in them who “helped” answer the questions.

The final question to complete the tic-tac-toe was asked “for the win…” The show ran from 1966 through 1981 but there were several attempts to revive it.
