Dave Berlind at ZDnet Blogs got this funny error message while trying to access Technorati:
If you zoom in, you'll see a Yahoo! 404 message. Berlind admits, it could be a browser bug...or the cat's gotten out of the bag a little early!
It would be a smart move on Yahoo!'s part. By integrating both del.icio.us and Technorati in their "My Web" Web 2.0 offering, they'd be getting the heart and soul of the social web under one roof, so to speak. Both sites are considered best-of-breed and both have ridiculously loyal followings. By acquiring these established sites, rather than reinventing the wheel, Yahoo! would be building a strong following for My Web.
But let's not get ahead of ourselves. Berlind was not able to repeat the above error, and fully admits that it may be a bizarre browser error. But what if it's not?
[Cheers to Ben Barren and The Blog Herald for the tip.)
