Comment What service did they use? (Score 1) 740

Does anyone have any idea what email service they used? I know Yahoo wouldn't even give out logins to parents of deceased 9/11 patents despite a court subpeona. I'm interested it it was a private ISP, Google Mail, Yahoo Mail, Hotmail (yuck!), etc... as I want nothing to do with an email service that gives out information so easily.

A Grand Unified Theory of YouTube and MySpace 166

Ant writes "Paul Boutin's Slate article explains the factors contributing to the success YouTube and MySpace: they are easy to use (usability), and they don't 'tell you what to do.'" From the article: "Both YouTube and MySpace fit the textbook definition of Web 2.0, that hypothetical next-generation Internet where people contribute as easily as they consume. Even self-described late adopters like New York editor Kurt Andersen recognize that that by letting everyone contribute, these sites have reached a critical mass where 'a real network effect has kicked in.'"
