Is Facebook turning into MySpace?

On a scale from 1to10, I’d say probably not all the way.  But still, spam accounts are becoming more prevalent on Facebook.
When I first joined MySpace in 2005, it was relatively new, and allowed me to connect with a lot of people I hadn’t seen a long time.  Facebook was only available for college students. [...]

12mail is the best way to send video to your friends from the iPhone

Disclosure: I am involved with the 12seconds team, and I work with the company promoting 12seconds and their technology.
Today 12seconds launched a new app in the iTunes app store. It’s called 12mail, and you can download it from iTunes here.
I know that I’m biased, being that I work with the company and all, but [...]

Back it up, back it in…

On a scale of 1 to 10, more people should really be backing up their hard drives.
You know you should.  We all know we should, but most of us rarely do.  If you go into a room of 10 people and ask: “Do any of you back up your hard drives?”, usually only 2 or [...]

$H!T My Dad Says

On a scale of 1to10, this is the greatest Twitter feed I’ve ever read.
Cautionary note: this post contains profanity. A 28 year-old guy named Justin is writing down the things his 73 year old Dad says and sharing them on Twitter. His feed is titled “Shit My Dad Says.”  The tweets are awesome.  Justin’s [...]

eStarling is Startlingly Cool

On a scale from 1 to 10, the Impact V photo frame from eStarling is sort of awesome.
eStarling makes several WiFi connected digital photo frames, and I’ve been playing with their Impact V for a bit.  I’m impressed.
From the moment you open the box, eStarling does a pretty good job holding your hand and making [...]

On a scale from 1 to 10, 12seconds has done something really cool.
Today 12seconds.tv has done a few cool things:
1. They’ve re-designed their website – cool new look and feel, with a strong focus on video [...]

Crankjam – a social network for rock climbers

On a scale of 1 to 10, Crankjam seems creepy and weird.
Wait, hold on.  Let me explain.
While on Facebook, I saw an advertisement related to rock climbing.  I like rock climbing.  So I said to myself: “Why don’t you check that out.”  The ad suggested that the advertisers in question were seeking Beta testers to [...]

The New Chrome Browser from Google – my review

 
On a scale from 1 to 10, I am mildly impressed.  I just saw that Chrome was live and available for download, so I gave it a test run.  
I’m going to keep this pretty short, as Walt Mossberg already did a wonderful review of Chrome for the Wall Street Journal, but I’d like to share [...]

Blippr tackles micro reviews – micro keeps getting bigger

On a scale of 1 to 10, I think Blippr is pretty cool.
Blippr is a review service; you write short-form reviews of all kinds of things (books, movies, etc.)  In an oxymoronic set of circumstances that only the Internet can enable, “micro” services are becoming huge.  Twitter started a couple of years ago, and has [...]

Let me disclaim in no uncertain terms that this site was started by some very close friends of mine, and I am personally involved as well.  I mean for this post to be informational.  I want both of my readers to [...]
