Take that Viacom!

According to a spokesperson, YouTube is set to launch a mobile version of the popular video-sharing website in May 2007 for European users. The service will launch a month later for U.S. users as a result of the company’s exclusivity clause on a mobile video deal with Verizon Wireless.

In response to my question if YouTube is developing a mobile client, the spokesperson said that the company had been talking about it, but had no information to share at this time. Check out a preview of the blocked mobile site or this demo site: http://m.youtube.com/?client=ytdemo which you can see from some mobile phones (let us know if your phone can access it).

Katie Fehrenbacher has more.

On the eve of the 10-year anniversary of Yahoo! Mail, the company has announced that they are going to begin offering everyone unlimited email storage from May 2007 onwards.

When Yahoo! Mail launched 10 years ago, users got a whopping 4MB of storage for their entire mailbox. Today, you would fill that up with a single picture from your weekend.

When it comes to blog or website rankings, you have probably used either Alexa or Technorati. Stan Schroeder proposes a new methodology for ranking that has already piqued the interest of many A-list bloggers.

They have the data. They have the capabilities. Yet, they’re not maintaining any sort of top list of feeds with the most subscribers.

With 600,000 feeds in their roster, the service he is talking about is of course Feedburner. In the absence of any such formal list from the service itself, Stan has compiled a list based on the number of subscribers for each site. Certain conditions and limitations apply.

Here is a list of the chart topping 5:

1. BoingBoing
2. TechCrunch
3. Simply Recipes
4. Interesting Thing of the Day
5. 43Folders

Check out the complete list from Mr. Schroeder.
