Killers on the loose

I've been reading a lot lately about how <hot new app> is the <hot old app> killer. Yahoo has tied together some of the features of its recent acquisitions to create a new and improved search. It may become more popular than the old Yahoo, but it's not a Google killer. There is also a new site called Fav.or.it. It's sort of a mashup of feeds, comments and user blogging under subdomains and Techcrunch is asking if it could be a Digg killer. Will Fav.or.it be a Digg killer? Probably not, but what do I know? Digg is so entrenched, I don't think they'll go down that easily.

By the way Fav.or.it is accepting blog submissions to be aggregated by them when they launch. The first 1000 blogs to be submitted in 10 Technorati ranking will be entered so hurry up if you want to get in.
