For all my harping on cellular providers' ho-hum attempts to deliver quality mobile social content, I like to think I'm holding out for the real goods. From what I can tell, Fring might just be the at the head of the mobile social platform pack. |

The Great Yahoo Bleed-Out?
by
on June 18, 2008
|
It seems from watching my news feeds that company executives from Yahoo and its properties are fleeing as fast as they can, like rats from a sinking ship. You can hardly blame them. Yahoo has been a shining example of what not to do the past few months - hardly confidence inspiring. |
The First Amendment Doesn’t Mean You Can Say Anything You Want
by

For those looking for legal precedent to confirm that the First Amendment doesn't provide carte blanche when posting on line, they need look no further than Doninger v. Niehoff, — F.3d —-, 2008 WL 2220680 (2nd Cir. May 29, 2008). Doninger v. Niehoff will probably be cited several more times this year in the U.S. court system as people slowly begin to realize that just because the Web makes it easy to harass people, it doesn't mean you can do [...] |

I had the chance to test drive BlitzTime yesterday with CEO Jeff D'Urso, President Mick Sachleben and Virtual Assistant guru Jennifer Goodwin (from Internet Girl Friday ). I have to say that while there are definitely some kinks to be worked out, this application has potential as a social meeting, speed networking tool. |
Google App Engine: Just Like Amazon; Now with More Outages!

First came the Tweets: is such-and-such down? Can anyone else get into Google App Engine? Then came the blog posts and the endless discussion of "giving up your app to the cloud." |
AT&T has Mobile Social Platforms…but it’ll Cost You
by

If you are one of the many who haven't bought an iPhone, and don't plan on buying an iPhone even with the new low iPhone 3G price, but still subscribe to AT&T, I might never understand you. However, my misgivings about your cellular provider aside, your peculiar choices shouldn't mean you can't play social with all the happy iPhone owners. |
Stop Whining About Blogging; At Least You Haven’t Been Arrested
by

The BBC has an interesting article today based on a report out of the University of Washington. The report notes that 64 people have been arrested since 2003 due to blogging activities, which doesn't sound like a very large number, does it? However, three times as many people were arrested last year than were in 2006, which may imply that blogger arrests are on the rise. |

PodiPodi: What Do We Want? Web Apps or Desktop Apps?
by
on June 15, 2008
|
The line between online and desktop applications seems to be blurring all the time. We want office apps online to share them, but we want to bring them back down to the desktop for offline use, never mind that's where the functionality started in the first place. We like Twitter and FriendFeed, but we want to be able to use an AIR app rather than a Web interface. Such is the best explanation I can come up with PodiPodi, a [...] |
Google Ads Official on Yahoo, Is The Internet Over?
by
on June 15, 2008

Well, it is official: Google has now infiltrated Yahoo via ads. Has Google found the back door in to taking over the struggling company, or is it truly only in this for good, not evil, as per the famous Google motto? Google took the time to release a statement about the new ad arrangement with Yahoo on its blog as a kind of preemptive strike against just that kind of speculation. |
