I’ve recently started using both Digg (here’s my Digg profile) and Delicious (more on that in a few days), and find they really can help cure the “I’m bored and I want to surf for 10 minutes” syndrome.

They instead will be purchasing all of their new product & services!

Interesting to see Google more or less competing with itself much like Yahoo! does, having 2 video service websites now, YouTube vs. Google Video.

Yahoo! buy-outs and newly created services are often very similar to the point you’d think they’re competing with themselves:

The new Yahoo! Bookmarks, which doesn’t integrate with del.icio.us
Yahoo! Photos, which doesn’t interface with Flickr
Yahoo! Maps Beta vs. Yahoo! “Driving Directions”
Ask Yahoo! vs. Yahoo! Answers
Geocities vs. 360
