It’s 1996. You’re the world’s largest software company and you’ve got a groovy new product fit for the information superhighway: MSN. It’s hip, it’s cool and it’s like, totally radical dude. So how will you get this across to the restless sport-obsessed youth of the day?
MSN Advert
Enter these two! That’s right – it’s marketing, 1996 style. Download and enjoy for your viewing pleasure! You’ll never look at MSN the same way again.
And remember kids… Get on the ball, get MSN!
Excellent… The Life of Tasha. Check it out! 2 down, 3 to go.. 
Google Talk
It’s clean – and basic. Very basic. But an interesting start from Google and nice to have your first chat in a new IM – ever! At the moment it’s only open to people with Gmail addresses, but those are so easy to get they really should just open it up to the masses now.
They also have a commitment to open standards to mark them out from MSN\Yahoo\AOL. Connectivity between different IM programs would certainly be a good thing – and Google may bring pressure on others to move in that direction. We’ll see…!
The hack to Nucleus to get separate URL \ e-mail fields in the comment section, implemented on this site, has been added to the CVS – open for people to test and due to go into Nucleus v3.3 (probably)
This means that Babble, Alex, Rob, El-Barto and Rubery Village will all get the benefits of this change if they upgrade. Gravatars and website links for all!
Everyone who builds websites…

The Internet Explorer team explain on their weblog how the final version of IE 7 will improve standards support:
In IE7, we will fix as many of the worst bugs that web developers hit as we can, and we will add the critical most-requested features from the standards as well. Though you won’t see (most of) these until Beta 2, we have already fixed the following bugs from PositionIsEverything and Quirksmode:
* Peekaboo bug
* Guillotine bug
* Duplicate Character bug
* Border Chaos
* No Scroll bug
* 3 Pixel Text Jog
* Magic Creeping Text bug
* Bottom Margin bug on Hover
* Losing the ability to highlight text under the top border
* IE/Win Line-height bug
* Double Float Margin Bug
* Quirky Percentages in IE
* Duplicate indent
* Moving viewport scrollbar outside HTML borders
* 1 px border style
* Disappearing List-background
* Fix width:auto
In addition we’ve added support for the following
* HTML 4.01 ABBR tag
* Improved (though not yet perfect) <object> fallback
* CSS 2.1 Selector support (child, adjacent, attribute, first-child etc.)
* CSS 2.1 Fixed positioning
* Alpha channel in PNG images
* Fix :hover on all elements
* Background-attachment: fixed on all elements not just body
It won’t pass the Acid2 test though – although neither does Firefox
