Recently I’ve been on the lookout for a more streamlined method of viewing all of my RSS feeds.  After falling in love with Reeder for iPad I quickly realized that I need something just as sleek, snazzy and efficient for my desktop.  Typically, if I’m at work or on the run I hop onto Feedly as I like the clean and organized layout it provides. In fact I absolutely adore Feedly but lately I’ve felt myself in a browser [...]

Yesterday I was talking to my dad on the phone, trying to help him with a computer problem he was having.  Let me tell you, getting someone to explain to you, over the phone, what they’re seeing on their computer is a feat .  Trying to translate what they’re saying into language that makes sense is a whole other can of worms (Dad: ” I double click on the ‘W’, the arrow goes away for a minute [...]

Recently I wrote about a great Firefox plugin called Feedly that presents yourGoogle Reader feeds in a easy to read “magazine style” layout.  As Feedly became an increasing part of my everyday routine I found myself wanting to find even more content to read.  Usually I do this by using the “you might also like” section Feedlyprovides but the other day I came across a great feature Google Reader has to offer - PowerReaders.

Google Reader is one of the most popular online feed aggregators out there, and with so many people using it I just had to check it out.  I’ve had feeds in Google Reader but never really checked them.  I mainly stayed up to date on all of my feeds through my startpage – NetVibes.  Eventually NetVibes became a little mundane and Google Reader was no better.  I, like so many others, am not a big fan of perusing text [...]

I thought this post would be fitting for the unveiling of Geekulous. Over the past year, Gadget Girl Review has started and stopped, I would add a few posts here and there and then would stop for a few months, then start up again and then stop. This time I’m 3 months and 19 posts in (longer than I’ve ever been) and I’m not about to stop now. Since the Gadget Girl Review has a [...]

Well on July 16th I finally received my Google Voice invite.  (Ironically I received another invite to a different e-mail address the next day).  As soon as that little red badge popped up on my Mail icon in the dock I was clicking on that invite link.  So I’ve had a few days to play around with it (wanted to give it a good once over before reviewing it) and I must say, so far [...]

With social networking quickly becoming the most popularform of communication, people are finding themselves checking multiple websites to remain up to date on all of the goings on with their friends and family.  The reigning king of social networking is Facebook but most people have at least one other social network that they belong to (i.e., Twitter, MySpace, Flickr, etc.).  I am currently signed up with about 5 different social networking sites (partly because of friends who are using [...]
