Overall, I like Flock. It’s a good browser, and so far, it’s been better to me than Firefox 2. The media bar is an amazing concept that was implemented very well. And the media uploading function works great. Flock is smooth and reliable, and I’m loving the experience, even without most of my add-ons. But […]
Firefox 3 beta – CRUNCH
Well, I installed the Firefox v3 beta release 1 today, and promptly uninstalled it just five minutes later. See just why below: The only other program I had actively running was MS Word and Yahoo! Widgets. I had only 2 tabs open, Google Reader and Evil Avatar. Within just two minutes, Firefox had frozen my […]
Disqus isn’t being friendly
While people like Dave Winer are really liking the new blog commenting platform Disqus, it isn’t agreeing with me. Why? Observe. Sorry, but if I can’t track conversations with co.mments, then it’s useless to me. Part of the reason these people like Disqus so much is because it makes it easier for them – the […]
I can haz upgradez now?
Thanks to the Google Operating System blog, I now understand why my Gmail Notifier Firefox plugin stopped working suddenly this past week. Evidently, my Gmail account received an update recently. I wasn’t aware of this, but the update includes IMAP support, which is slick. I wouldn’t mind using Thunderbird for email, but I really prefer […]
Just say no to Twitter Pro
Dave Winer and Robert Scoble really have come up with a doozy of an idea. Essentially, Scoble says he would pay $10 a month for a Twitter that removes the 140 character limit. What do you call Twitter without the character limit? A blog. The bubble is truly about to burst.
Why is my “Followers” number inconsistent?
On my Twitter home page: On my Twitter profile page: Why are those “followers” numbers different? They have been for a couple of weeks. Does it have to do with people having their content locked?
Twitter + tracking = Twacking?
Twitter has implemented a cool new feature called “tracking“, which I am officially dubbing “twacking” because it sounds dirty. Basically on your phone or IM Twitter account you can send the message track <topic> and anytime any Twitter message appears on the network with that string in it, it gets sent to you. So I […]
Everyone’s upgrading their technology!
Man, first Google adds search to Google Reader (something I’ve been begging for since I began using GReader two years ago), and now, Meebo adds file transfer — something I never even wanted, but I’m happy to take now that it’s available. Thanks for upgrading the technology I use every day (for free!)!
Does Netscape’s death foretell Mahalo’s impending doom?
So, the Netscape homepage digg clone is finally being killed off. Well, to be honest, the way it sounds, it isn’t being “killed”, per se. Evidently the users like the concept of social news, they just want it off their Netscape homepage. It might be moved elsewhere within the AOL network, but Riley sounds skeptical […]
Calacanis and Winer: now here’s a reason to hate the internet
Even though this is making all the rounds on the internet, I feel the need to comment. I don’t know why; I guess I must just be bored. So, evidently Jason Calacanis talked at Gnomedex about Mahalo. And Dave Winer didn’t really care for that too much. But instead of intelligently discussing his issues with […]
