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.

Today the World Wide Web welcomes a new bundle of joy emerging out of the delivery room of startups.
