I was recently asked about the difference between Web 2.0 and Web 1.0. Simple question, I thought. But when I   sat down to write this I realized the explanation isn’t as straight forward as I had originally thought. So read as I try to explain the differences between Web 2.0 and 1.0. Web 2.0 refers to how we are using the internet today. There is no one definition of Web 2.0 (some believe it is [...]

Well I was going to post part II of my Google Voice review but the buzz around Apple’s possible new device is too loud to ignore (not that I was trying to).  For years now the rumor of Apple creating a tablet has been floating around.  Some believed it didn’t nor wouldn’t ever exist, others thought that every time Steve Jobs made an announcement that was going to be “the one”.  Well it seems the time [...]

This week’s app is near and dear to my heart because it has helped myself and my loved ones to get healthier and lose weight.  If you haven’t figured it out from the title, Lose It is an application dedicated to helping people get healthy and lose weight.  It is a nutrition, calorie and exercise tracker that can help you stay on track when trying to cut back.  There are quite a few apps in the [...]

I am a frequent user of Craigslist and one of the problems I run into when using Craigslist is finding a safe middle location for myself and the interested customer to meet.  Enter Meetways,  a service which allows you to enter two addresses and receive a list of meeting points in the middle of those two addresses.  For example, say I was located in the Northwest area of town and my customer was in the Southeast area, [...]

Starting a blog involves a lot more work than one would expect.  Sure you can write a blog but to bring readers in requires reaching out.  So, in an effort to promote this blog, I have recently registered for many social networking and blogging sites. Every time you sign up for a new account with a new service or website you are asked to create a password.  These days with Twitter, Facebook and MySpace accounts hacked on a daily basis [...]
