...start-ups--referred to these days as Web 2.0 companies--using a new set of tools to quickly and cheaply create sites and services that would have taken years--and millions--to build in the '90s. Many are communities for sharing links, photos and videos. Others focus on music, travel or online software. One challenge is knowing when to sell. MySpace was sold last year to News Corp. for $580 million, a figure a MySpace founder who no longer had control of the company recently called "one of the largest merger-and-acquisition scandals in U.S. history."

There are plenty of good travel sites, so any new entry needs to have a better idea. Farecast.com uses fearsome computer power to predict the direction of plane fares.

Charter, which allows for decisions to be backed by the threat or use of force in response to threats to global security...
...resolution that was finally adopted was necessarily a compromise between different views of how the North Korean nuclear crisis is to be resolved. And the focus of the main players will now shift to what comes after the U.N. vote. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice plans to travel to Tokyo, Beijing and Seoul to rally support for a vigorous implementation of the sanctions resolution. Russia, China and South Korea will be looking for ways to restart the six-party process - a process they believe requires direct negotiations between the U.S. and North Korea, and a readiness to offer Pyongyang security...
