Microsoft TaskMarket, another job market?
Microsoft TaskMarket.com (full screenshot), originally uploaded by asim.zeeshan. Microsoft has introduced a new service called Microsoft Task Market which connects small businesses with skilled freelancers for help such as web development, graphic design, marketing, copy writing, document translation, and virtually anything. Simply put, Task Market allows you to post a job in order to find someone who can do it for you. If you are a freelancer, it helps you to search for jobs for which you can get paid in return.

Learning the Yahoo User Interface Library

Yahoo Adds Video to Flickr
Yahoo has added support for video to its photo sharing site Flickr. Yahoo wants users to start sharing videos, shot by still cameras, camcorders and camera phones, as well as photos, and Video on Flickr provides an easy solution for consumers, according to the company.

Whether it will be able to compete with Youtube remains to be seen, but Yahoo thinks there is a…
