Lunartics Friday Favs

By Joe & Tiara

Joe and I haven’t had much time this week to search for Friday Favs, but we were still able to compile a list of the big stories this week. I just realized, the LP Friday Favs is like a News Digest every week! A very smaaaaall news digest but a digest nevertheless.

Anyway, our first story is the reason we haven’t had much time to link surf: Lunarpages Web Hosting upgraded its storage and bandwidth!!! For those of you living under a rock, LP recently upgraded from 35 gigs of storage space to 250 and from 800 gigs of data transfer to 2,500!!!! Holy effing cow, is all I’ve got to say. But there’s more on our upgrades here, plus a nifty quote from our CEO. ;)

Speaking of big news, this shocked me when I found it last night. Tiara was minding her own business, trying to get on WordPress to blog, when she (why did I switch to 3^rd person??) came upon the news of the CENTURY: YouTube Overtakes Myspace on Alexa Rankings. Read up on this phenomenon. While Alexa may not mean what it used to, it’s still a huge indication of what’s happening on the web, and the fact that Myspace was overwhelmed by YouTubers doesn’t surprise me. ;) Tiara no longer likes Myspace, btw.

And for more on YouTube, read the news blip about their near-leap into the television realm:

This next link is a pretty interesting take on the web porn industry. Yes, I said PORN. Haha, I bolded that to get your attention. Now read on:  Personally, I think it’s kind of dumb if they’re not going to go all out and force .xxx on people registering porn sites, but honestly, that’s not my main arena. :D

And duh, we couldn’t have wrapped up this week’s Friday Favs without mentioning the coveted Apple iphone:  For nearly $500, I’m curious. My roommate on the other hand about drooled all over herself and said, “This would be the one time in my life I’d get the tech-savvy gadget of the year!!” ;)
