Shrinking The Size of the Web into Facebook.
The web is a vast array of websites, social networks, applications and many other things. Quite simply, it’s like a gigantic solar system with planets being websites interspersed with comets, asteroids and an occasional sun. But all of that has pretty much changed with Facebook. Sure, Facebook isn’t the first social network out there, nor […]
Brizzly: Taking Twitter To The Browser In Real-Time.
Yet another Twitter client? Yeah, it seems to be. Aren’t we sick of hearing about the next version of Tweetdeck or Seesmic Desktop? First we had Twhirl, then came Tweetdeck, Seesmic Desktop, Destroy Twitter, Cotweets, PeopleBrowsr and other Twitter third-party desktop and web applications. So when I heard all the “hype” about Brizzly, I thought […]
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.

My Heart Belongs To ‘Twitterville’ — Now In Book Form
I was privileged to attend Shel Israel’s recent book launch party in honor of his upcoming book, Twitterville. After reading his first book, Naked Conversations, which he co-authored with technology evangelist Robert Scoble, I was looking forward to what was coming up next.

Once just a glimmer in its parents’ eyes, Lil’ Grams has emerged to become the next great social network for families.

Tweet Your Way to a Hawaiian Vacation.
My first job outside of college was working in one of Hawaii’s largest and most experienced interactive agencies – StarrTech Interactive. Since that time several years ago, I have seen the company produce such outstanding work and they always seem to surprise me with their creative, technical and marketing prowess. This recent example is nothing […]
Trolling Not Allowed When Community is in Control.
Many of us have been on message board. It’s a great way for people to ask questions, solicit feedback or simply engage in friendly forms of conversation. Often times this isn’t the case, however. There are some people who may respond to discussions simply to try and get a rise out of people and start […]
Introducing the Mobile Me Lifestream.
I happened to be at an event on Friday in Palo Alto when I had an epiphany. Some of you have numerous accounts on social networks or related to other forms of web technology – I am no different. During this phase of “reconciliation”, I found out a new form of informing folks of what […]
FriendFeed: Will You Accept Facebook’s Friend Request?
Breaking news coming from Silicon Valley today includes the apparent acquisition of FriendFeed by social media giant Facebook. Coverage was spread across all the major blogs, including TechCrunch, Mashable and reported on other websites like Louis Gray, Aaron Brazell and FriendFeed power user Robert Scoble.
