A fantastic new communications interface called Pronto! just emerged from the secret vault of CommuniGate. Pronto! is being unveiled today in Chicago at Adobe Max – the premier experience for Adobe users worldwide. Pronto is a RIA net communications dashboard that quite honestly blew me away. A good friend (Brian Blank of Future-Works) sent us [...]

When it comes to editing images online, I have discovered several options, but many are disappointing in their lack of features and usability. For instance, I found EasyCropper a little too easy, having to restart the entire process every time I made the crop box the wrong size, since there is no way to resize [...]

This year's most promising social computing platform has beefed up everything from server capacity to social reach for this launch.

In fact, the news was so discrete that I discovered it at Problogger, and not at YouTube, which I use almost daily. AdSense has made an appearance at YouTube, news that is long overdue, [...]

I first heard about Beautiful Society when Mashable featured it, which meant I had to check it out.  At first glance, it was certainly attractive, but I'm not sure I would call it one of the most pleasing to the eye out there. Sign up was easy, but what really struck me were the number [...]

VoIP services have been quite a popular bunch as of late, with the promises of inexpensive and often free calls to friends and family. Of course, it goes without saying that the current exceptions are SunRocket, which has now shut its doors, and Vonage, which has been hit wit legal troubles and is now on [...]
