So… if there weren’t enough accounts, apps, and widgets for me to update… now Google wants in, with Buzz.
What is Buzz? Buzz is a status updater built into Gmail that lets you share information from across your Google world. You can choose to share posts, updates, pictures, videos, and links from flickr, picasa, Google Reader, Blogger, twitter… Continue reading “The Buzz About Buzz”
I know what you’re thinking – nothing can be better than Pandora! Right? (Insert only a small amount of sarcasm).
At the heart of it, I really like Pandora – or at least the idea behind Pandora. Getting music suggestions based on artists you’ve entered or marked as liked seems like a great idea. And sometimes it works great… Continue reading “Better than Pandora?”
So I guess I won’t be needing MagicPrefs for my non-existant Magic Mouse. But I’m not really all that bitter. My Mac is an iBook G4 that I mostly use on the train to work so carrying a small wireless (aka lose-able) peripheral around with me doesn’t really make sense… Continue reading “Dear TechCrunch – No I Didn’t Get A Magic Mouse”
Invites have been passed out.

I knew I had stayed in the office too late on a Friday night when I started seeing white dots drift slowly across my screen. As I watched I quickly realized that it wasn’t a symptom of failing vision, but rather a Christmas gift to the dashboard of WordPress.com. So I just sat and stared for a minute, pretending to be somewhere with real snow. After a while I snapped out of it and grabbed this screenshot to try and share the joyful holiday experience with everyone… Continue reading “It’s Snowing at WordPress?”
I’ve been cheating on Google Chrome for a while now… But only because I have to. Whenever I’m doing just about any work online I always have Chrome open for my major browsing and Firefox open for any toolbars, bookmarking, SEO analysis, Delicious Browsing, etc.
But according to sources close to the situation, in the middle of next week we might see some much needed extensions released for the gloriously fast Chrome.
I’ve loved using Chrome up to this point for the simple fact that I can click it’s icon and my homepage opens as fast as the browser does. No load time. I love the blazing speed. Continue reading “Finally Google Chrome Will be Fast AND Functional”
Ok, so there wasn’t a line of eager people around the block at your local Verizon store waiting for the launch of the Droid. But thats ok. Sometimes the things that make the biggest waves don’t start that way (and sometimes the things that start by making a big wave, fizzle out – example: myspace).
There has been loads of skepticism surrounding the new open-source mobile operating system, Android. It’s been said that it is too late for anyone to catch up with the iPhone’s impressive 100,000+ app offering. It’s been said that Android is at risk of splintering into several less impressive versions of itself.
But the truth is Continue reading “Android On Roids Next Year”
I have to say, I have had a growing appreciation for Microsoft’s new “decision engine” – Bing, since it came out in May. Although the straight forward results it gives after aren’t quite as relevant or impressive, it’s search suggestions and filters help you find exactly what you’re looking for quickly and easily.
So here’s I draw the line on the Bing Evangelism: when Microsoft starts enslaving and indoctrinating small, impressionable children. See video below: Continue reading “Bing Theme Song Video: Hires Children and Looses Some Cool Points”
A moment of silence.
R.I.P. all of Palm’s dreams of stepping up their game in the Smart-Touch-Media-Web-App phone competition. Sources say that Verizon has officially passed on the new supposed iPhone Killer – the Palm Pre – much to the surprise of a large number of people. Various reasons have been theorized by TC’s Devin Coldewey including: Continue reading “Palm’s Hopes of an iPhone Killer: Killed.”
According to a recent post on SEM Sunday, someone’s idea of SEO has turned into piracy and business identity theft. In a search on Google Maps for Miami Hotels they came across a top result of Miami Moving and Movers.
(Begin Sarcasm Font) That doens’t seem odd to me because I know that when I do a search for Hotels what I really meant to search for was movers. (End Sarcasm Font) Oh no wait, that’s not true at all.
Apparently, somebody from the Miami Moving and Movers company claimed the Hyatt Regency’s Miami listing on Google Continue reading “SEO Pirates Attack in Miami?”
