Not a purely social networking site, but it’s worth mentioning that VCCorp’s CafeF has offered WordPress-powered blogging platform that specializes in Stock, and a Q&A channel at blog.cafef.vn

Any other interesting updates?

What is Yahoo! Pipes?

Pipes is a new mashup from Yahoo! that provides a GUI for building applications that aggregate Web feeds, web pages, and other services, creating Web-based applications from various sources. At the end of the process, user can choose to publish those applications.

The site works by letting users “pipe” information from different sources and then set up rules for how that content should be modified.

Tai Tran’s Lab: Technology As Innovator is back on its feet feed.

For you who subscribed through taitran.com/feed, feed items transmission has been suspended for a few weeks.

This was because my feed was exceeding the limit of 512Kb of FeedBurner.

I’ve fixed this issue, and items are coming through to your RSS Reader and/or mailboxes again.

Happy reading, my beloved readers.
