[Disclaimer: As you read this, please keep in mind that this is a review of a product in its very early stages - my initial assessment here is based on what the service does at this point - this can (and will hopefully) change dramatically as development continues]
I got an early invite for FriendBinder, [...]
Feedburner today announced that Google is finally getting around to integrating Google Adsense advertising into RSS feeds created through FeedBurner. Apparently this will be rolled out within the next week or so.
You could always inject AdSense ads into FeedBurner feeds, by the way, but it wasn’t a very elegant solution and was supported as a [...]
It’s nice to see that Twitter is really getting serious about opening up and giving us more of an insight into it’s inner working. If there is any way for Twitter to restore some of the goodwill it lost during it’s far too many outages, it’s posts like this one today on the Twitter Technology [...]
Steven Hodson has some interesting thoughts on the discussion around who own blog comments:
Well let’s set one thing straight right off the bat – comments are not frikken creative content for crying out loud. It doesn’t matter whether you make them on a blog or at the corner coffee shop. Once you open your mouth [...]
Shane Perris from Techwhimsy has an interesting guest post over on Sarah Perez’s blog about the current state of Jaiku:
Despite the fact that Jaiku has everything that the hottest 2.0 properties have, all tied up on one neat basket, Google has failed to get any mindshare at all amongst users and developers. Unless Google has [...]
Ever since I came back from vacation, Twitter has barely been functioning. At this point, it seems I have a better chance at winning the lottery than prediction if I can actually log into the service; sometimes I can log in on the site, but then Snitter might be locked out; sometimes parts of the [...]
Early on in this week’s Elite Tech News Podcast, Robert Scoble mentioned how he wants to be able to be able to easily share specific items to his rooms through filters.
As I said on the show, I think this is a huge oportunity for 3rd party developers to do something interesting with FriendFeed. As I [...]
At the end of January, MG Siegler invited me to co-moderate the Elite Tech News Reddit with him, Steven Hodson, and Louis Gray (since then, Mark Hopkins, Tony Hung, Jason Kaneshiro have joined us as well).
It was this collaboration that also lead us to start the Elite Tech News podcast, which is still partly based [...]
This week’s Elite Tech News Podcast not only featured the most complete set of our little crew (with only Tony Hung missing), but also the always entertaining Robert Scoble as our special guest.
The regular crew, Mark ‘Rizzn’ Hopkins, MG Siegler, Louis Gray, Steven Hodson, Jason Kaneshiro, Art Lindsey, and myself discussed a fair [...]
Now that I’m caught up on the events of the last week, it becomes pretty clear that FriendFeed is still the topic du jour. Today, TechCrunch announces (based on Compete data), that FriendFeed still has a lot of killing to do:
FriendFeed certainly has a lot of potential, but it still has a lot of killing [...]
Judging from the rain outside here, it looks like I must have arrived back home…
First of all a big thanks to Corvida from SheGeeks for her great (dare I say awesomesauce) guest post while I was gone!
I just spend a little while reading up on what’s been going on in the blogosphere, but it looks [...]
This is a guest post by Corvida who blogs regularly on Social Media, Web 2.0, and the Social Web at SheGeeks.net.
Stacey Higginbotham recently post on GigaOM about Women Troubles In Technology in response to a NYT article about the loss of women in the science and technology [...]
Taking some time off is always a good way to reassess the current state of things. Being half-way through my almost two week long blog hiatus (thanks to some conference travel and vacation), I have started thinking about what to do next once I come back (besides switching hosts).
The blog has grown beyond any of [...]
I’ve been out for a few days and just home for one more before I take off for yet another week.
From what I can see, I didn’t miss anything too crazy (though Scoble is crying tonight, I assume).
I liked MG Siegler’s thoughts on giving attribution to fellow bloggers – it’s definitely something I have seen [...]
