“Usmanov, who owns 25% of Arsenal, has written to the board proposing the capital-raising exercise as a means of reducing the club’s £400m debts and providing the manager, Arsène Wenger, with significant funds for this summer’s transfer market.”- Guardian wrote.

Usmanov fights against American billionaire Stan Kroenke which owns the biggest Arsenal’s holding of shares (28.3%!).

As known, Usmanov already made  investment in Facebook.

Arsenal has huge debts.

Facebook still hasn’t profitable business model.

Risky guy. :)

Bing vs Google Search

Doubtless,Bing is the most interesting web product last weeks.

Microsoft  is set to launch an $80 million to $100 million campaign for Bing, the search engine it hopes will help it grab a bigger slice of the online ad market.

First results are good:

Looks like web business is excited too:

CommonCraft just issued its “Twitter Search in Plain English” on YouTube:

Me likes Twitter Search – an excellent search tool.
But it’s needed some features like FriendFeed ones.
Me means search inside FriendFeed list:

ff-search

TweetDeck,popular Twitter client has such “list” feature, but me isn’t huge fan of Twitter clients.

So,dear Twitter! Give me,please, your great future feature: search inside Twitter list. :)

Twitter: Hard Times

Know-all Compete.com just gave us fresh Twitter stats:

Celebs like Oprah  Winfrey and Ashton Kutcher made good Twitter promotion and as result we have its Top :

So,celebs took power over Twitter.

But Twitter’s still nerds’ universe,  too specific, and ordinary people have much problems on it.

People who sign up for Twitter, post once, then never return.

Twitter guys: it needs a change!
