After acquiring blo.gs, Flickr and Upcoming.org, Yahoo takes a step forward and acquired del.icio.us too. Del.icio.us, a popular online bookmarking service has about 300,000 registered users and 10 million shared links. Following the buy-out, del.icio.us will most likely be integrated with the existing Yahoo! Search, expanding its search horizon to blogs and news sites.
On the other hand this might be stale news, but I write it anyway since it’s Sunday (few visitors), Adobe has successfully acquired Macromedia Inc, making it one of the largest owner of popular software products, the Macromedia website has been updated to reflect the acquisition.

Gmail is a free, search-based webmail service that includes more than 2,500 megabytes (2.5 gigabytes) of storage.

30Gigs.com started off with the idea of creating a “All in one” site for the webmaster and avid computer users. Combining personal file storage, GD2 signatures and anonymous email all in one service, which would be free. Our main goal is to increase our space even further, to 50 gigs, or maybe 100 as time goes on. 30Gigs.com is still in a very heavy beta, and if you are a member, please help us to make it the best mail server there is. We will be offering a section for personal file storage (up to 30 gigs) and a GD2 signature maker to keep your email safe from spam robots. We also offer a unique feature, which allows you to send a email from any address you want. This is very usefull if you have multiple accounts linked to your 30Gigs.com account, and want to send a email from john@otherservice.com so you dont confuse the sender. Any further information can be addressed to support@30gigs.com.
