Earlier today, while monitoring some feeds on Tweetdeck, I was thinking about how handy it would be to check on all of my facebook pages, my twitter feeds, my Rss feeds, my favorite forum threads, etc… and boom Seesmic releases their new Desktop 2.
It doesn’t add forum threads, that was my idea… [...]
There has been a lot of talk and maybe a little drama surrounding the Fast Company Influence Project and I wanted to write a little something about why I wanted to be a part of the project and why I continue to ask for the support of my friends and colleagues by the way of [...]
When my business partner Jeanette and I were asked to attend a Harley Davidson luncheon to kick off the Women Riders weekend we said yes faster than you can say Women Riders! Having never been on a Harley, I was more the excited to go check it all out and learn about the culture.
Harley Davidson [...]
Greetings Earthlings. The team at Mobile Local Social, has connected with some amazingly bright minds here in our hometown of Kansas City, and are forming a Mobile Media Club to connect with businesses and show them the error of their technological ways.
What we have here is the very first podcast / experiment of this [...]
This is one of the most disturbing FAILS I have ever heard of.
“(CBS) At a warehouse in New Jersey, 6,000 used copy machines sit ready to be sold. CBS News chief investigative correspondent Armen Keteyian reports almost every one of them holds a secret.
Nearly every digital copier built since 2002 contains a hard drive [...]
I freakin’ LOVE this. Unfortunately, this isn’t an app, but some code created to play this song with Processing.org. So, you can’t download a player that does this… but WOW, someone talk to Pandora. I’d LOVE to sit with this rocking on my iPad, reading the words to the song as it [...]
Steve stands by his capatalism. And rightfully so. Over at Valleywag Ryan Tate and Steve Jobs have a conversation about freedom of expression vs. invention.
Ok, we all know this is a very shitty crisis going on down in the Gulf of Mexico. I have to say that it seemed like only a matter of time for one of these offshore oil wells did something crazy like explode and completely pollute the surrounding waters. It had to go [...]
Who needs a shield law when other journalists will be more than happy to out your sources and then try to interview them for their own stories?
Okay – looks like I’m the last kid on the block to get the news. I read today at The Hollywood Reporter that Syfy is stepping into the ring of prime time wrastlin’.
You heard right. The brand once known as the Sci Fi Channel that built a following by airing cult classics like Rod Serling’s [...]
With the new (unconstitutional) anti-Mexican law having been enacted in Arizona, professional sports should give back and take the lead in the 21st Century’s civil rights movement. In doing so, they might even win a new audience.
While catching up on some reading on one of my favorite eco friendly blogs, I came across this post by Lloyd Alter as well as this one by Stuart Elliot of the New York Times and could not believe that a company would actually claim to own the daisy.
You heard me. the daisy. My *favorite [...]
The Jason Chen saga as told by Bob Dylan
In a nutshell:
Apple engineer has birthday (27), get’s tipsy, and leaves prototype iPhone at a German bar in the San Francisco Bay area. Finder attempts to give phone back to Apple. Apple doesn’t believe them. Finder contacts Gizmodo. Gizmodo pays 5K for phone. Reviews and dissects iPhone 4G. Apple asks for phone back. Gizmodo complies.
Details [...]
Yesterday, Gizmodo posted a teardown of the potential iPhone 4G, revealing an updated exterior and a plethora of new features, such as a front-facing camera and a better still camera with a flash. It also has a larger battery and possibly a higher resolution display. The announcement is expected in late June with a release [...]
Microsoft has just pulled a “controversial” ad for the new Kin phones, citing complaints that the ad encouraged sexting. There were also furries in it so that could also be the reason.
New York Republican gubernatorial candidate Carl Paladino landed in hot water this week when it was discovered through a leak that he had been forwarding emails that contained racist remarks and rants, extensive pornographic content, and, in at least one, an image of an woman performing fellatio on a horse.
I am the Lorax and I speak for the trees. AT&T earthy-crunchiness doesn’t justify fees.
The Pink Phone is now the Kin. Let the name hate begin.
Marty Markowitz, the Brooklyn Borough President, has his priorities way out of whack and clearly does not know what Brooklyn, home to more blogs per capita than any other place in America, really needs. (Warning: Contains my angry salty language)
Cory Doctorow, Joel Johnson, you’re both wrong when it comes to the iPad. I’m probably wrong, too. But that’s never stopped me from pointing out errors when I sees ‘em.
First up: C-Doc, I love you and your can-do spirit, but Joel is right. A lot of people want something that just works. The trick is [...]

In the perfect world, a client needs someone who knows the Social Media scene & not only gets it but can set the tone for a brand. Oh yeah, and someone who knows that control is futile.
A fire at a Seattle data center, nicknamed “The Googtopia” has affected over 42,000 servers, bringing down search engine results pages across the globe.
While it may not be neccesary to have this type of living content within every article, it definintely makes me think about how many stupid ads I would end up reading just for the visual/audio effects.
If the consortium of “Hulu for magazines” sign-ups join this artistic take, well then consider me a subscriber.
As the race to be be ebook format of choice hots up, Penguin is making some bold, experimental bets. These first-look demos of forthcoming books from iPad’s iBook Store, presented by Penguin Books’ CEO John Makinson in London on Tuesday, give an idea how publishers might approach Apple’s tablet…
“The iPad represents the first real opportunity [...]
Fox News has a DNC ad based on a Greta Van Susteren interview pulled, citing copyright violation. The central issue of the ad: whether a GOP Senate candidate got a hair cut or a back wax.
Apple’s ad copy regarding the iPad is nothing but an assortment of lies and fabrications. These ridiculous claims can be disproven without even seeing the iPad.
There is a big difference between a milkaholic and a delusional alcoholic, right? Some attorneys do not seem to agree, and decided to take on E*Trade for $100,000,000 (yes, one hundred million dollars).
Sony Music delivered what some consider a knockout blow to CDs, announcingrecently that on May 1, it will cease sending promo CDs to critics and journalists, and instead only provide them with digital previews. Sony is the second-largest music company in the world, and the first major label to do digital-only promotions–hopefully it’s not the [...]
The New York Times released a fascinating article on what the Chinese are calling “human-flesh searching”. It seems that social media has spurred an underground group of moral heroes in China. A collection of people banding together from the Internet to cast out perpetrators of heinous and immoral actions, unifying together to ban the accused parties from certain jobs, lifestyles, or even to force them to move away from their home city. Excerpts and a link to the full article after the jump.
Google threatens to pull more services out of China. Italy convicts three Google employees for being in the same world as people who beat up autistic kids. Google Politics now in Beta.
Yet another app has fallen victim to Apple’s opaque approval/removal process. The Suicide Girls’ app has been removed from the App Store, while SI’s Swimsuit App, the Playboy app, and numerous sex apps remain. This practice will not likely end.
Social media vernacular is amazing in its reach, and often hilarious in its final accepted form. Crowd sourcing is certainly interesting, and when you apply it to linguistics you never know what you may get. There is usually a semi-logical genesis for the terms we use. For example, in the world of online gaming the [...]
