Digital Decade to Connected Community

I heard this on a TV commercial and thought it worthy of repeating. It just stuck in my head.
“We’ve left the digital decade behind, and now we’re moving into the era of the connected community.”
So what does that mean? Well, often I have to look back at where I’ve been, in order to [...]

There’s a new Twitter utility I really like. I tried buzzom.com for the first time last night and immediately picked up 50 new followers. I just love it when things work right from the start.

Vancouver 2010: The Official Video Game of the Olympic Winter Games

Remember the POV or Point Of View cameras I described in my last post? They were being used in Vancouver at the Olympic Games by the skiiers and on the bobsled and luge. The POV cameras take you right into the action, just like you’re riding on those skis or sled.
The [...]

NASCAR on Twitter

Gentlemen, start your networks!

All it will take is a couple of major drivers to start using Twitter, [...]

NBC Olympics iPhone App

I just installed the NBC Olympics app on my iPhone. It looks like a great way to keep up with 2600 athletes and 82 countries competing in the Winter Olympics in Vancouver.
The app opens to a landing page with top stories, featured videos, medal count, photos, and Team USA’s Twitter stream. [...]

Type n Walk

It was one of those moments that make you laugh out loud.
Today I made this observation about teenagers at the mall;
their typical posture is the slouching walk while staring at the screen of their phone or iPod. How do they avoid walking into things while texting their friends?
Wouldn’t it be cool if [...]

iPhone 3G

I just got an iPhone by taking advantage of AT&T’s $99 upgrade option. And why not? They’ve been taking advantage of me for years, at 45 cents a minute!
Apple has announced their new iPad, and I’m just now getting an iPhone. But isn’t that the way it is? How many of [...]

World Wide Web from Y2K to Today

My last ten years online have been pretty amazing. Let’s take a look at the world wide web from Y2K to today.
2000: Napster gets sued for music file sharing violations by Metallica, Dr. Dre, Madonna and A&M Records. The site shuts down the following year after an RIAA injunction.
2001: iTunes launches as the [...]

Mozilla Firefox Turns Five

Mozilla Firefox is celebrating their fifth anniversary.  Five years is a long time, especially online where things are constantly changing and evolving.
I was a Netscape fan from the beginning, but after AOL ruined that browser, I discovered Firefox and it’s many cool features; the multiple tabs, the add-ons, and the easy-to-use bookmarks.
One of the main [...]

TwitterStates.com

I recently got involved in an exciting new project, in what my team and I believe will be Twitter’s most dynamic state directory. It’s the simple but powerful concept of bringing Twitter local, and connecting you with all your local peeps and resources. A great way to bring your local community together (think [...]

Twitter Bigger

Marketing Pilgrim.com posted a good writeup about Twitter’s growth. There’s some pretty amazing numbers being quoted in regard to traffic for the popular micro-blogging site.
No doubt, pretty much everyone who’s online knows about Twitter. Even those older folks not online, like my parents, have heard about Twitter; they just don’t know [...]

Twitter is not only a wonderful way of networking, it’s also a great tool for discovering new resources.  It led me to a very useful site for social networking.  The Social Media Club is not only informative, but it’s gathering members across the U.S. and quite possibly forming a local chapter in your city or [...]
