Best Yet: Twitter Movie Trailer

This one not only has its own song, but the best parody of the magnitude quote with “140 words per post?” “140 characters.” (Brought to me to you by TechCrunch, of course)

Web Apps = Automatic Upgrades

While it wasn’t one of the major factors I talked about in my previous post, the following is a quick and easy example of another reason that webapps kick ass: No Upgrade Cycle Google launched Buzz 2 days ago, and already their making changes based on user feedback. But the best part is not that [...]

Blogging is Easy

From a (sort of) recent Facebook status update: While I agree for the most part with the “Tumblr > Twitter” sentiment, well, that’s kind of obvious. Twitter is definitely good for some things (mostly sharing short fleeting thoughts, but also sometimes for sharing links, and conversing with people who use Twitter as their main form [...]

Does FriendFeed Know Kim Kardashian? (Not In The Biblical Sense)

Here’s Kim Kardashian’s alleged FriendFeed page. It would be easy enough for a simple name squatter to do something like that, especially since FriendFeed allows you to import not just a Twitter feed, but Twitter followers without a password.

So, is it Opposite Day at Google?

From the Official Google Reader blog, a post about sharing with friends and making new friends. Now, I don’t have a lot of “Google Reader Friends” and I use my Shared Items to feed into a sidebar widget over here, so maybe I’m just not into the whole “sharing” thing enough, but this part seems [...]
