Confirmed: Microsoft Gives Up On MSN Groups, Hands It Off To Multiply	We’ve received confirmation that Microsoft is handing over the reins to its MSN Groups property to the social network Multiply. Microsoft is planning to release a new service called Windows Live Groups in November, and apparently doesn’t want to compete with itself. Oddly enough, Microsoft has chosen not to allow groups to transition between the two services, and instead is going to offer a migration tool that will allow users to take groups over to Multiply, which currently bills...

Google Actually Sees Query Shr Drop Slightly In Sept.	Seems to me more likely a statistical aberration than anything else, but nonetheless, the latest data from comScore shows that Google’s (GOOG) share of the U.S. search market actually fell slightly to 62.2% in September from 63% in August. Yahoo’s (YHOO) share, meanwhile, crept up to 20%, from 19.6% in August. MSN’s (MSFT) market share for the month was 8.4%, up a hair from 8.3% one month earlier. Ask.com’s (IACI) market share was 5.4%, up from 4.8%. AOL (TWX) fell to 4%...	October 14, 2008

Mass Instant Message That Link With The Tell-A-Friend Widget	There’s a new content sharing widget in town and it’s called Tell-A-Friend. Like ShareThis and AddThis, Tell-A-Friend is placed on webpages by publishers so their visitors can easily share content with friends (we’ve placed the AddThis button at the bottom of every TechCrunch post). But unlike these existing solutions, Tell-A-Friend users can share content with their instant messaging contacts in addition to their email and social networking ones. Tell-A-Friend supports four ...

But the main premise of Muzui is to forgo playing alone and join the si...	September 15, 2008
The long-term case for Yahoo stock	Photo Credit: EIBT24 Yahoo has been in the news more than any other corporation; the soap opera drama that exists with the corporate few and investor Carl Icahn was more than enough to fuel headlines. Now that the deal is finalized with Icahn giving up his proxy vote to overthrow the board and eventually sell out to Microsoft, Yahoo has given him three seats on the newly larger board of 11. This gives Icahn some sway in the Yahoo board, but not enough to push any serious changes. Yahoo and I...	August 11, 2008

Goober Takes Shotgun Approach With IM Client	Goober is an instant messenger developed by a team of Germans now officially based in Delaware that’s going up against the big guys (Skype, MSN, ICQ, etc.) with a desktop client that overflows with features - some useful, some more superfluous. The cross-protocol Goober client (available for Windows and soon Mac and Linux as well) can be used to instant message with both peers on the Goober network and those using ICQ, MSN, or Jabber. Its built-in VoIP capabilities can also be used to pla...	July 30, 2008
