Bloggers You Better Start Paying Attention To

The big dogs of blogging won’ t be big dogs forever, it’s time you get a glimpse of your future pro bloggers.
Daniel Bruzilowsky – This kid has his own startup, is a community manager for Qik and an event planner/blogger for one of the most influential tech blogs on the web, TechCrunch. Keep a sharp [...]

Maybe Arrington Needed A #FAIL

As we all very well know, the Crunchpad (at least currently) is deadpooled by the creator himself, Michael Arrington.
To put bluntly, this blows. Since the initial thought popped on TechCrunch, I have been a large supporter of the Crunchpad and longed for the day to get my hands on one. Hell, I set up a separate ”goal” [...]

Do You Ever Pull Your Apps Down?

There are very few applications that make me want to change how I work with other apps. Actually, there are only two applications that I can think of. I am going to focus on one of them, Tweetie 2.
I had my doubts about Tweetie 2. After all, it is a Twitter application and I have [...]

SocialToo, Make Myspace Worth My Effort Again

Sharpen your knives, get the pitchforks and go light some fires tech pundits, I still like Myspace.
*sees crowd gasp*
Actually, I have always really liked Myspace more than Facebook. Let’s just say Mark Zuckerberg scares me more than good ole’ Steve Jobs wielding the Jesus Phone.
Sadly, I ruined Myspace in my younger years and I accepted everyone [...]

Is Competing Against Google Worth It?

Is Competing Against Google Worth It?

I love Google with all my heart, but damn, do I feel sorry for startups.
The latest startup I feel a tad bit sorry for due to Google is Jolicloud, a linux based netbook OS.

The point of Jolicloud was to provide an OS that was built from the ground up to be nearly completely dependent on web applications [...]

Hey, Tech Bloggers Complaining About Twitter Ads, Be Quiet

And screw your head on straight while you’re at it.
You are just as bad as anyone else who inserts ads from a third party service.
Want to know why?
Cause your pimping your own crap all the damn time and most of the time it just happens to be the blog you are writing for. Hell, most [...]

Stop Telling Me How To Use Twitter

I am really sick of people telling me how I should be using Twitter.
Actually, I hate it.
Twitter is a social service, and we all communicate differently. So doesn’t it make sense that each of us would use Twitter differently?
Get off your high horse and stop telling me how to use Twitter, or other people.

Google Translate Taking Over The World, One Social App At a Time

I have already talked about how Google and God wouldn’t get along.
Now I have proof.
Brizzly recently announced that tweets in another language will be translated to English on the fly using Google Translate’s new real-time translation tools. This means Brizzly is now the only Twitter client breaking down one of our biggest barriers allowing us to connect to other people, language.
And [...]

Louis Gray and The Power Of His Share

Louis Gray and The Power Of His Share

I think if Louis had the opportunity to marry Google Reader, he would. He is the undisputed master, lover and promoter of Google Reader and as such, the power of his share is nothing to laugh at.
Since I am all about being transparent about stats (why don’t you look at my stats in real-time right [...]

Google and God, They Wouldn’t Get Along

But the LORD came down to see the city and the tower that the men were building. 6 The LORD said, “If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. 7 Come, let us go down and confuse their [...]
