Interesting internet technology

These days I have taken an interest in reading on recent technology news such as online gaming and computer technologies. This was spur on by the news of facebook facing a big challenge of getting revenue. Facebook by far is a pretty successful social website and even though it is successful, it is not making money to sustain its technology. Online gaming seems to be profit generating on the hand. There's this thing they called advergames where it kinds of mean that they will attract gamers to play online and earn via advertising due to the large amount of traffic they have. I happen to read one article about a few young entrepreneurs earning good income monthly from the online gaming website. To make the internet technology more interesting there are also some competitions such as programming contest to encourage people to know more about xml and database technology. Participating in these competitions allow people to have a chance to win some prizes and it also enable the organizers to search for potential stars in the internet technology field.
