Facebook fiasco
I just watched a Today Show clip concerning a father and son who had a bit of trouble with their online relationship via Facebook. Basically, the dad posted some pictures of his son on to his page, and his son didn’t particularly care for it. The pictures included some from when this kid was 6 [...]
Facebook makes another change
Can these guys let anything go? Facebook is now changing the way people signify their preferences for certain brands. When a company or celebrity or product has a page, people can click to become a fan. Well, the guys in charge of Facebook decided that what people needed was a less committed form of loyalty. [...]
When you need to the find the right person…NOW
Apparently some people just need a date real bad. We’ve all heard of party crashers and the Vince Vaughn movie Wedding crashers made it seem cool.

When in doubt, Wi-fi.
If you have a smart phone like the iPhone or a Blackberry that has internet access, and if your phone is capable of picking up wi-fi, companies are asking you to utilize that instead of the towers.

Can’t we all just get along?
Oh, those silly Silicon Valley Boys. I guess Apple and Google are starting to get into the heated argument ring with each other. Apple is miffed that Google is promoting the Droid which resembles the iPhone in a number of ways and Google is irked that Apple appears to be trying to shut Google out [...]
Time sensitive texting
A new texting app came out for the iPhone that deletes the messages from the person’s phone. “Tiger Text,” that’s what it’s called, stores text on a server for a certain amount of time and then erases it from the texting server. The reason this works is because the actual message is stored on the [...]
Where do you stand on the great Google debate?
Suzanne Choney from MSNBC wrote this article last Friday detailing some research done as to whether the internet is helping or hurting human intelligence. Some say that the access to all the information the internet has is making us smarter in a slightly different way than in years past. Others say that we are using [...]
Where do you stand on the great Facebook debate?
Are you a fan of the new layout? Do you have to spend 5-10 minutes just trying to figure out where to visit your profile? Do you find getting to your apps and games easier? I myself don’t think the changes are necessary. I could go into FB, check to see if there were any [...]
