As mobile social platforms are sort of a pet hobby of mine, I'm keen to learn about any and every update to the platforms that are currently vying for consumers' affections. One such competitor is FriendFeed, which has a very fluid little build of its social aggregator platform available to iPhone users. |

Nokia Purchases Plazes for the Voyeuristically-Inclined
by
on June 23, 2008
|
Though I like the fact that Nokia took steps to acquire its own social platform called Plazes, I'm not a huge fan of companies trying to keep up with the Joneses. Those Joneses, in this case, would be Apple, which recently announced that a similar stalker-friendly tool called Loopt will be available for [...] |
Google’s Android delayed; too late to compete with iPhone?
by
on June 23, 2008
|
The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Android is delayed until sometime in the fourth quarter, and some cell phone manufacturers aren't even going to be able to get an Android phone out until 2009. The original Android announcement from last November suggested that phones would be out by the second half of this year. [...] |
A Day in the Life of the Tech Middle Class

My initial reaction to Steven Hodson's post about the digital divide between the haves and the have nots has stuck with me, but apparently, 10 days is too long for it to have remained in the attention-deficit world of the Twitterati. The gap between the designers and the intended users is growing ever wider, and [...] |
Sipping the AT&T Haterade: Why the iPhone 3G May Not Win Fans
by
on June 10, 2008
|
Yesterday, I tuned in to no fewer than three liveblogs for the announcement of the phone I've been waiting for: the 3G iPhone. Last year I even replaced my Motorola RAZR at the unsubsidized price just so I could get the iPhone 3G when they finally came out with one, so yesterday's announcement had me [...] |
Loopt Claims the Title of First Social Platform for iPhones
by
on June 09, 2008

Though Steve Jobs' keynote at the World Wide Developers Conference tends to be one of the biggest Apple events anually, today's keynote was a bit lack-luster. Jobs announced a 3G iPhone with real GPS for a frugal $199, a fleet of iPhone Apps store products, OS X "Snow Leopard," a change to .Mac and more. [...] |
Bloggers Unite for Human Rights: A Definition
by

Before I finally go to sleep at night, I try to clear out my feeds as much as I possibly can just so that I'm not so overwhelmed when I wake up in the morning. I usually catch Steven Hodson's From the Pipeline feature in that last pass at night, and sometimes save links to [...] |
Google’s Android Closer To Reality?
by
on April 23, 2008
|
The launch of the iPhone (shortly followed by the iPod Touch) seemed to fuel developer's desires to create mobile-specific web applications despite the device's ability to access the entire internet (without the WAP/WML limitations of most mobile devices). Many mobile web users find the wireless application protocol (WAP) too restrictive and slow, greatly limiting what [...] |
Is Web 2.0 Out of Original Ideas?
by
on April 09, 2008
|
The most heated bitchmeme of the past few days appears to be the flap over one of the featured apps on Google App Engine, called HuddleChat. Since removed from the site, Daring Fireball was the first to note that it bore a striking resemblance to 37signals' Campfire. |
Swotti: Claims of Semantic Review Aggregation are Highly Exaggerated
by
on March 21, 2008
|
Nothing excites me more than hearing about semantic anything. I'm lazy. I have too many things to read already. And I am tired of trying to sift through tons of review sites where reviews are often incomplete, non-existant, or just plain irrelevant. I was thrilled to hear about Swotti, a new beta site that claims [...] |
