Friendfeed was Unfairly Attacked

May 09, 2010 Posted Under: Friendfeed, Google, Internet, blogging, broadcast, journalism, opinion

I can still remember the day vividly when Facebook purchased Friendfeed. There were those l will not name that immediately proclaimed that Friendfeed was dead.  It was a mantra that was so loud that even the most apathetic person around could hear.  It was almost as if the tactic of the media was used to [...]

Blog Down for Corrupt File

May 07, 2010 Posted Under: Flickr, Google, Personal, blogging, opinion, social networking

It was brought to my attention this evening that my blog was down.  Actually I knew it for a couple days because my browser defaults to this page.  Since we have had other priorities with working on the house, the web site took a back seat.  It was an easy fix and only had a [...]

Twitter or Facebook?

Oct 26, 2009 Posted Under: blogging, opinion, social networking

A question that I hear frequently is “Which is better, Facebook, or Twitter?”  I do not think this is the proper question to be asking because they complement each other.  In fact Twitter by itself may seem less useful although I disagree.  It is the ability to use Twitter with Facebook and other social networking [...]

View Larger Map I just tried Google Maps for the first time in a while and it is really nice. I was amazed at how well I could see our home in England when we were in the Air Force.  The above address it 34 Adastral Close, Felixstowe, Suffolk, England.  It is phenomenal how clear and [...]

Google Reader

Aug 16, 2009 Posted Under: Google, Internet, opinion, social networking

With all the news lately about Facebook purchasing Friendfeed last week and everyone saying they were going to go to Google Reader I thought I would move some stuff.  For the last week we have been hearing “Friendfeed is dead” to a point that it is ridiculous.  The truth is that Friendfeed is NOT dead [...]

I have been sitting here watching the Gilmore Gang on http://www.twitlive.tv and they are talking about the new beta of the new Friendfeed.  You can get to it here http://beta.friendfeed.com.  There is Steve Gilmore, Mike Arrington, Robert Scoble, and Leo Laporte among others.  They are really passionate defending Twitter, Facebook and Friendfeed.  I must say [...]

Twitter!

May 26, 2008 Posted Under: Technology, opinion, social networking

In a funny attempt to get seen on Techmeme, Michael Arrington posted a one word blog post on Techcrunch last night and it has spread across the Internet.  That one word post was… “Twitter!” This post was though meant to be a joke, actually made it on Techmeme, along with about every other tech hobbyist’s [...]

Twitter! How Cool Is That?

Nov 13, 2007 Posted Under: Twitter, social networking

You know I am a little slow on some things and I know this.  I have been reading about Twitter for months and just did not get what the big deal was.  I never read the details of what you can do with it because I am always in a rush.  I signed up for [...]

Can you understand MySpace?

Jul 08, 2007 Posted Under: Technology, blogging, social networking

One thing that I don’t like about MySpace is that people do not even use the blogging feature but rather post comments on each other’s pages. Yes it is easier than trying to find the blog in MySpace but it is terribly inconvenient because sometimes you want to know what is going on in that person’s life, not [...]

Sucker Punch

Jul 01, 2007 Posted Under: Technology, blogging

I was playing around with some of the new applications yesterday when I noticed that I somehow accidently sucker punched myself. Now how does one sucker punch themselves? I thought the whole premise behind sucker punching someone was to catch them off guard. I guess I caught myself off guard. Can you imagine sneaking up [...]
