1. Dell will sell its computers directly at Wal-Mart, the company’s biggest move away from its mail-order strategy. New ad slogan: “Dude, you also gotta get a giant bag of tube socks.”
2. Trying to grow big enough to best MySpace, Facebook opens up its platform to developers. So is “developers” a code word for “adults”?
3. To reduce clutter, AOL is planning to run fewer ads. Except for the ones reminding people that there is still such a thing as AOL.
4. In another blow to paid Web content, CNN.com will stop charging for online video in July. Finally, Larry King is free to become a darling of the Internet.
5. Google gained search market share in April, climbing to just under 50 percent of all U.S. searches. That’s great, but can it tell me where in the house I left my wallet?
