5 Apps That We Can’t Live Without
This past week has been a weird one in terms of technology. First, there was some issues (perhaps residual) from Twitter’s downtime and then Google had issues with Gmail being down for at least a day and Foursquare having trouble yesterday and now WordPress is reporting a major security issue with its self-hosted option. In […]
Social Media Welcomes a New Bundle of Joy to the Internet: Lil’ Grams
Today the World Wide Web welcomes a new bundle of joy emerging out of the delivery room of startups. Once just a glimmer in its parents’ eyes, Lil’ Grams has emerged to become the next great social network for families. When I first reviewed the website, I thought it was something that would be considered […]
Lil’ Grams: It’s TheKnot for Families to Cherish Precious Memories
Capturing the moment of your precious children is always a key thing for any parent. Whether it’s your first child or an additional bundle of joy in your household, I’m betting that you’re going to have friends and family knocking down your door to get a peek at the newborn, right? And then you’re going […]
A Recession Isn’t A Good Time For A Job Board’s Site Usability To Fail
As many of you may know, I recently moved to San Francisco to seek out my fame and fortune. In doing so, my 9-5 career has, in effect, been rather unfortunate. So I’ve been working on trying to reclaim that standing by looking on job boards for any available position. Over the course of my […]
Amazon’s DIY web services lets you pay as you go
During the Web 2.0 Expo, I happened to walk through the tradeshow and came across the Amazon Web Services booth. As with most of you reading (including myself), when I say Amazon, you’re probably thinking about books and electronics, not web services, right? Well I managed to chat with one of their exhibitors at the […]
Putting it all into context
Albeit not totally a historical day, the World Wide Web has put forth two pretty significant announcements this morning. First was the news coming from Virginia-based company, AOL, and the story that they purchased Bebo for $850 million. That’s awfully nice of them and I think it’ll give AOL a good step into breaking into […]
Technology helping veterans
In a really cool story, CNN has an article that talks about how the US Army is taking advantage of the advancements in technology to help make life easier for the returning soldiers who unfortunately were wounded in combat overseas in Iraq and Afghanistan. Marine Lance Cpl. Joshua Bleill tragically lost both his legs in […]
We bid thee farewell, Netscape.
Announced today, one of the former “greats” of the Internet browser world fade off quietly into the sunset. Well not really “quietly”, but rather being put out of its misery. AOL (or more politically correct, AOL Time Warner), sole caretaker of the aged browser, decided to pull the life support and make way for its […]
Something’s ironic about this webpage…
Does anyone notice anything funny about this website or is it just me? Michael Vick, former quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons surrendered earlier today to begin serving his sentence for cruelty and neglect towards the dogs he had…he pled guilty to dogfighting. But when you go to the website on a local CBS affiliate (CBS […]
Life, Liberty and Photo-Sharing for All
So I recently signed up for Facebook and indeed realize that it is fully all that and a bag of chips…well just because while they’re pretty equally matched, there are some subtle differences. First of all, Myspace will allow you to completely customize your profile page and allow amateur web designers to butcher their pages […]
