FindMyHosting.com is a hosting directory where you can find the right hosting plan without hassle and it's really true. Directly at the main page the top ten most popular offers are listed with the most vital data needed to select a hosting company: disk space, uptime, monthly price and score. You also get to see their money back guarantee and prices on domains.

A little bit further down on the site they have a search form where you can in more detail specify your needs like in which country you prefer to have your servers and your preferred hosting platform (i.e. Linux or Windows).

You can also browse their hosting directory with all companies listed by category like PHP Hosts or ASP Hosts. When you browse the directory you can see all plans by the same web host, which is good if you find a hosting company you like by reading the reviews they have at FindMyHosting.com with the hosting companies.

If you're new to hosting (most of us have been at least) you can find some informative articles on what to focus on when getting a budget web host, or how to switch hosting company.

So if you're looking for a new place to host your web projects check out FindMyHosting.com

Yahoo is testing a new way to display search engine results to the users, something completely different then the usual "10 blue links" way. Instead of just displaying the top 10 search results for a search, that's the usual way today, Yahoo will try to find out the "intent" of the users search, and then present various types of information within the results that relate to what they are looking for, such as restaurant reviews, movie times, flight schedules and so on.

If for example a user search for the name of a restaurant Yahoo will show a map showing the location followed by photos, reviews and directions since that is most likely what  the user is looking for with that type of search.

Yahoo is saying that they want to move searching from "web of pages" to "web of objects" instead.

The goal is to organize results in a way that reflects how those objects relate to each other in real life. Searching for "Paris," for example, should reveal related "objects" such as travel guides, cheap airplane tickets, and images of the city — in short, all the related content users might want to see.

All the other big search engines are trying something similar too, so we should soon start seeing the results of their work

Twitter will also start with new searching, or at least improve their search content by indexing the pages people twitter about. So next time you twitter about a web page Twitter may actually include the complete page in their search engine.

A couple of days ago I got an email from Kristina from AboutUs.org telling me about their new widget (also see their blog).

They've had a badge before (simply an image) you could add to your web site to link to your own page at AboutUs.org, but now you can get something even more useful. The widget is similar to the CrunchBase.com widget which is good because then you can use both the AboutUs.org widget and the CrunchBase.com widget when your writing about a company/web site/web service. The AboutUs.org provides information like domain name, site title and topics from a web site.

So for example if this article would be about the web site AboutUs.org, then I could add the widget for AboutUs.org at the bottom of this post to provide the readers some additional information on the web site. The users also get the possibility to edit the information in the AboutUs page thanks to an edit button inside the widget.

The widget is a fantastic new service from the AboutUs team, but there are a couple of down-sides:

• They don't have an API for their widget. It would be great if they added this to search their wiki for a specific web site, and if you get a match you could create the widget. This would make it possible to create a Wordpress plugin to automatically include widgets in your blog posts when-ever you write about a site.
• There should be options to include more, or other information then just the standard information. For example a short description and the site thumbnail. To avoid too much information in the widget they could use a "show more info" link to expand the widget if the reader want more information.
• If you're logged in at AboutUs and press the edit button you should be taken directly to the edit page instead of the page about the site.

I know this is a new service so I hope they develop it further.
