Hotmail Blocks Gmail Emails (and Invites)
from the intereting-tests dept. bonhomme_de_neige writes "Emails and invitations sent to Hotmail from Gmail accounts do not bounce, but nor do they arrive in the recipient's Inbox - they vanish mysteriously into the aether. Joel Johnson writes in his Gizmodo weblog that invitations he sent to a Hotmail address bounced (this even received coverage from ZDNet). Search Engine Roundtable writes that several ISPs are blocking Gmail. It's already well-documented that Yahoo moves Gmail invites into the Bulk Mail folder. I've personally confirmed the Hotmail and Yahoo blocking." Please note: I've not been able to verify this one way or another. [Slashdot] 7:27:28 PM

Zombie Webmonkey: Back From the Dead?
from the zombie-monkeys-with-straight-edge-razors dept. Mirkon writes "Back in mid-February, the news was broken that Webmonkey, one of the web's most prominent web development tutorial and reference resources, was "shut down," in that no new content would be delivered. A little over four months later - though Wired News (another child of Webmonkey's parent company, Terra Lycos) says nothing, and the Webmonkey Blog (hosted on Tripod, another Terra Lycos subsidiary) hasn't seen an update since January - the Webmonkey home page boldly declares: "We're totally back! Webmonkey is alive and kicking, serving up new articles all hot-n-fresh like a stack of banana pancakes. With syrup." Is this the end of the end for Webmonkey?" [Slashdot] 7:23:36 PM

IE Feedback Fest. The Coffeehouse Forum has been buzzing with discussion about IE and its perceived lack of a roadmap, improvements between OS releases, and standards support. I have never seen more impassioned threads on Channel 9 in our short 2.5 month history. This is the kind of discussion that the Channel 9 Team hoped would be enabled through this site. In fact, Dave Massy an early contributor to Channel 9 (user number 16) and a former Longhorn Evangelist at Microsoft recently moved back to the IE team to work as a program manager on the team wrote up some of his thoughts on his personal blog and managed to get both his own blog and Channel 9 Slashdotted over the weekend. Microsoft is listening, learning, and taking it all in. Keep the discussion going. If you want to share your views on this hot topic see any of the following posts on the subject on Channel 9: Wiki: Internet Explorer Feedback Wiki Internet Explorer Feature Requests Forums: IE's Market Share is Slipping When will we see features that Internet Explorer lacks? Does Microsoft care about Webmasters? If there is a new IE [Watched threads for: The Channel 9 Team] 6:36:36 PM

New HHGTTG Radio Show Gets Douglas Adams' Voice
from the genius-at-work dept. trellick writes "The BBC has not only announced that they are to make radio adaptations to The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy's final three books: Life, The Universe and Everything; So Long and Thanks For All the Fish; and Mostly Harmless. Also, Douglas Adams is to himself provide the voice of Agrajag, the character constantly being reincarnated and dying at the (inadvertent) hands of Arthur Dent, since Adams 'always intended to play the part of Agrajag and recorded himself in the part a few years ago.' Wonderful stuff!" [Slashdot] 6:30:43 PM
