I had seen the rumors for a while now floating around that Yahoo! was going to introduce a new mail client with RSS capabilities, but I guess I overlooked that it was also going to be an AJAX based application. For what its worth, here is my opinion.
It’s buggy. It locked up my browser (Firefox […]
Kids sure are getting crazy at good ol’ Purdue. Nothing like getting pinched for a crime because you gave too much or your personal information awa to facebook. The authorities now have caught the bad guys through both MySpace and Facebook social networks.
The arrest of a Purdue University student with the help of Facebook.com, […]
Something about this just seems wrong. Somehow Facebook has the reputation (at least to me) as being this untouchable private community. The idea of an aquisition of such a private community is mind blowing in 2 ways:
1. The Bad: you only have an audience of 18-23 year olds
2. THE GOOD: you only have an audience […]

Interested in a 2000 Honda CRV? Then you are in luck. Check out mine for sale now at ebay! Maybe this will get picked up by Edgeio too for sale.
We bought this 2000 Honda CRV in 2002 and have absolutely loved it ever since. We are the kind of people that like to get out […]

The nature of why social networks work is an interesting beast and Im always excited to join in conversations regarding them. My experience with 95% of these networks is that they do not maintain my interest past a day or two even if I am REALLY trying to pay attention.
So what makes a them sticky […]
In a world where everyone is connected, and content is created and shared between PEOPLE everywhere (ie, not propoganda and marketing from companies), instantly, I think this new company, TextPayMe has a true market. Imagine if you will a completelly cash free society where someone finds something of yours they love (on the street or […]
Another great idea will be opening its Web 2.0 doors soon in the form of classified items and blogging. This new service, Edgeio, will allow you to post the classified ads to your blog (much like people do at craigslist or ebay) and tag the post as “listing”. This will get picked up by the […]

I am eagerly anticipating the Mac version of this one. It could have a dramatic effect on the podcasting landscape if people could have the ability to create and share playlists of podcasts and podsafe music through podcasting sites. Follow link for screen shots.
Songbird, the eagerly anticipated new media browser and web player built on […]
Microsoft has started another push to say that web applications (these days, those including AJAX) can not do everything that locally base applications can. I disagree. I used to consider myself to be a power user, but 99% of what I do now i can do through online only apps such as Writely.com (MS Word) […]

My mind is officially blown.
Facebook supports 882 colleges today - there are about 2,000 in the U.S. if you count community colleges. Their goal is to support all of these over time.
The penetration rate is staggering - about 85% of students in supported colleges have a profile up on FaceBook. That’s 3.85 million members. Chris […]
