J. Angelo Racoma's PayPal initiative now has a website.

Google won over MySpace with a hefty $900 million revenue-sharing deal that will allow the search engine to provide its search and advertising services to the latter's 70 million-plus users. That also means MySpace dumping its current ad provider Yahoo! who also made a bid but fell short to ...
