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 [...]

As I posted earlier I was recently introduced to a great little program calledYoono.  I had been looking for a way to inconspicuously stay updated on all of my social networks while working on my computer at work.  Yoono did just that, it hide in a collapsed sidebar on my browser window until I was ready (meaning no one standing directly behind me looking over my shoulder) to check on all of the updates posted.  [...]

There has been lots of buzz around Apple lately.  Most of the buzz today was surrounding a recent report of Apple’s factory conditions in China.  For the most part China has a bit of a reputation for not providing equal and just treatment of their employees so the fact that this report is coming from China as opposed to one of the other sites of Apple factories is not so surprising.  What is surprising is the fact [...]

Just an FYI – every Sunday I will be reviewing an iPhone app.  I download a lot of applications onto my phone, some move straight to the front page, others linger in the last pages and never get opened.  Each week I will review the apps that I love/hate. This weeks iPhone App is Prowl.  Prowl is a great iPhone app that utilizes the new push notification feature introduced in the iPhone 3.0 software.  Put simply, [...]

Quite a while ago I stumbled upon a service called GrandCentral that promised to give you one universal phone number and the ability to control how, when and where you receive calls to that number.  I liked the idea but did not find a real need for it.  If I remember correctly, I signed up for it, realized it wasn’t going to be useful for me and canceled my account.  With the (not so) recent Google [...]

My Yoono notification popped up while I was working on this blog  the other night with a notification from Google stating that Google Chrome OS is on it’s way. Since the announcement the web has been abuzz with talk about whether it will give Windows a run for it’s money.  Google’s reasoning behind creating this new OS is that with the evolution of the internet people are spending more time on the internet doing things they used to [...]

Found this (so far) decent looking plugin for Firefox called Yoono.  It’s basically a sidebar that displays updates from a plethora of social networking sites such as Facebook, MySpace, Flickr, Twitter, FriendFeed and more.  Found it when I was reading an article from the geniuses at makeuseof.com about managing social networks. So far it’s worked out nicely for me.  I am on a bunch of different social networking sites and have always been on a quest to [...]
