I just read a disturbing story about an incredible blogging web site called Posterous.com.  I just read that after Twitter bought the company, they have decided to shut Posterous down.  I signed up for an account back in 2008 when they were new. Posterous is such an easy blogging site that everying seems so light [...]

What happened to the vanity URL implementation that was announced nine months ago? What happened to the merging of the messengers? As each day goes by, I am seriously thinking that Google is lost.  There are certain updates that are universally requested and I hear crickets coming from Google.  They are being smoked by Facebook [...]

This morning I got a happy sixth birthday wish on Twitter.  I forgot that I joined on January 1, 2007. At the time I had heard of Twitter from Thomas Hawk but did not understand how it worked or the potential it had.  Here I am six years later and have more than 27,000 tweets and [...]

A few days ago I posted an opinion online about something and was immediately called names and I was pretty fed up already so this was just about all I could take. Strangely enough, I have not missed it.  I’ve always preferred Twitter anyway.   Facebook has always been one of those places where you [...]

With buying a house last year and us trying to get serious on paying off all debts, time has been something that we’ve not had a lot of time.  Blogging takes time to think what you want to say, post, edit, etc. The blog tends to get neglected during this time and most of my [...]

Last night I joined in my first multi-person Google+ Hangout and it was a blast.  I was invited in by another Amateur Radio operator, Jim, KA6QZU.  The Hangout was called “Ham Radio Nightly Hangout” and eventually others joined the group.  He told me their group has these meetings online every night at 9:00 PM, central time.  Usually I [...]

There is a mobile, social, photo sharing application called Instagr.am that has a huge popularity but is only available oniPhone.  This program is pretty impressive with using the onboard camera to take photos while the user is mobile. It has several popular editing tools built right in.  These editing tools are commonly used coloration tools that allow [...]

A few days ago after having heated discussions on Google+ I decided that arguing politics with total strangers was not really worth it.  I did the unthinkable of canceling my Google+ account.  Honestly, I do things on emotion like that from time to time and usually regret my decision.  I almost always regret doing something [...]

I think that Google+, Facebook, and Twiter are very nice in their own way.  Sometimes I am really in the mood for Google+ loving the interaction while other days I do not want so much.  Honestly at this stage I do not see heavy Facebook users ever migrating over to Google+ completely just as there [...]

I love these social networking sites as much as the next guy but sometimes there are just too  many of them and too much maintenance to keep them up to date.  For this reason, I think Twitter will dominate for a long time.  One complaint that I hear over and over again on Google+ is [...]
