It looks like automated audio blogging is growing increasingly popular these days. We reviewed Odiogo back in January, recently we have also talked about Talkr and when browsing podcasting apps on Simple Spark, the Web 2.0 categorized catalogue I was so impressed with on Thursday I have found another similar application named BlueGrind. This product has not been reviewed on Profy but anyway it is really a very new service (it only has a handful of already registered feeds and [...]

iPhone is big even though it has not been released yet. But it will be released soon (June, 29 in case you have not heard this date yet) and I guess it will be even bigger when it is actually available. Besides, iPhone is the most Web 2.0-ish gadget we have heard of recently. Profy is always willing to give our readers the best of Web 2.0. And here is our next move in this direction. This summer you will [...]

The latest news from Athens is that young professionals in Greece have turned to the blogosphere to help improve their salaries. Evidently many Greek professionals are under a salary ceiling that has virtually impoverished them, so they have turned to blogging to vent their frustration and seek public attention to their issues. Generation 700, as the group calls itself, feels they have not been properly represented by either their government or their labor unions. According to a Reuters story by Karolos [...]

Rather long time ago we used to visit numerous websites only to get some information. Later we had forums for discussions and special guest book sections to leave feedback to a particular site's owner. Now it is absolutely normal that we rarely visit website just to read something useful. To be more precise, when we find something actually useful we tend to contribute: post our comments, submit to Digg, Netscape or StumbleUpon, bookmark in Del.icio.us for further reading and share [...]

It looks like Pentagon further restricts the way military personnel uses the world wide web. Military personnel and civilian employees will not be able to access YouTube, MySpace, Pandora, Photobucket, hi5, metacafe and several other “recreational Internet sites” (I like the term, by the way) when they are using the Department of Defense network. The full list of websites along with the explanation of the reasons for such a decision can be found in the official Pentagon memo. The cited [...]

One of my favorite bloggers was reportedly banned by the Thai government today. Pete Cashmore wrote to his readers that Mashable has been banned because of his blogs reporting on the YouTube ban incident. The ban, if there is one, is not the subject of this post, but the ability of a great blogger/news-person to ride the razors edge is something our readers should be interested in. Sometimes we do not even notice the often subtle ways that people display their [...]

You know I have come a ways as a blogger. With the help of our community here and people all over the Web, my blogging experience has been a charmed one really. I was reading some other blogs earlier and ran across a post at Mashable that was quite extraordinary.
The thing is, all writers and bloggers strive to present things that their readers will find interesting, and perhaps occasionally fascinating. I know the authors here at Profy feel that [...]

Waxing as profoundly as a herd of Greek philosophers, the blogosphere is attempting to right itself in the aftermath of the Kathy Sierra incident. Everyone from Tim O'Reilly and Jimmy Wales to the least commenter at Digg is having their say about conduct on the Web. The evident “shiver” running up the spines of some bloggers at the utterance of words like code and conduct is indicative of a kind of polarity that exists. Let's assume that there are obviously several [...]

This is a very special post for me. I want to thank all of our readers and contributors for being with Profy. Believe it or not, I already know all the MyBlogLog avatars of our loyal readers and I can actually say that I love them all! These have been the greatest six months of my entire life. I've become acquainted with the most brilliants minds in the Web 2.0 world, and I really enjoy switching on my laptop each [...]
