Back in May Microsoft reported on a new social bookmarking application that was going into closed beta. In early September they will open their doors to the general community to try out. John Martin on his TechNet blog reported: Microsoft is opening up the MSDN, TechNet, and Expression sites to the community, so that technical professionals can better connect with each other, share knowledge, and succeed.

Back in June of 2007, we conducted an in-depth analysis of the search engine reputation of the presidential candidates in contention. As part of our report, we noted that of the Democratic hopefuls, Barack Obama had zero negative search results-the best of all Democrats. Who had the most negative search results? Joe Biden.
