pAs the newspaper industry's prospects darken, and rounds of buyouts and layoffs have left little room for more cuts, The McClatchy Company (a href="http://finance.paidcontent.org/paidcontent?Page=QUOTETicker=MNI" class="ticker" title="MNI"NYSE: MNI/a) is joining with the non-profit iChristian Science Monitor/i on sharing foreign news coverage on a trial basis. The trial will last for three months and then the two will evaluate whether the combo worked. The exchange will involve two iCS Monitor/i correspondents, one in New Delhi and the other in Mexico City, and two McClatchy foreign correspondents in Nairobi and in Caracas.

Accoona, the highly suspect New Jersey based search/electronics retailer, has suffered what might be its final disgrace - the closure of it’s last business, Twing.

The company, which offered a search product, has a rich history. Founder Marc Armand Rousso has a shady past involving stock fraud, and former President Bill Clinton was a spokesperson for the company.

Most of Accoona’s $137 million/year in revenue came from distributing electronics after buying a number of retailers in Brooklyn. In 2007 they canceled a planned IPO, and the Accoona search business was sold to Masterseek, a Danish company, last month.

The company said in April they were deprioritizing all of their businesses except Twing, a forum search engine. But the Twing website is now offline, and a tipster says the technology is being sold.

Twing, which appears to be a separate corporate entity from Accoona, was said to be pitching for a small round of financing in the last few months at a valuation of $8 million.

The service had a surge in traffic this last spring, drawing, according to Compete, a peak of about 1.5 million unique monthly visitors. But much (or all) of that traffic was driven by advertising spends, says a source, and they struggled to get repeat visitors.

We’ve contacted Accoona and Twing and await a response.

ZooZ Beat Lite is free. When I want to install the update it says FREE however they say they are going to charge 99 cents for the "rich update."

Now don't give me answers like it's 99 cents or whatever. Let's say it was 500 dollars. The point is, even thought it says it's free, is it actually 99 cents for the update?

For this year, I’m going to be doing an advent calendar for the blog, starting today. I know Advent actually started yesterday, but 1-24 is just a lot easier, so please forgive me.

This year, in a nod to October’s “Stars of Political Cartooning,” I will have a different Christmas cartoon by a notable political cartoonist for each day of the calendar, beginning with perhaps the most famous Santa Claus cartoon of all time!

The calendar will go up in about ten minutes (it’ll run in the mornings the rest of the time).

Enjoy!
