We are now at a point at which only a week, one heavy with anticipation, separates consumers from the official US release of a product millions eagerly wish to own. The iPhone. And already, a developer has established an application directory assembled specifically for users of the device. It’s called AddFone.
If you’re keeping up with announcements of Web apps crafted for the iPhone, you’ll know from the start that the directory will be considerably sparse by the time of [...]

I sometimes have a strange feeling that a majority of new web applications that are launched daily are mostly launched for bloggers to write initial reviews, create some buzz and bring a handful of early adapters to the application. And only a select few apps actually get visibility among mainstream users, those that are actually supposed to create the community, share content and participate in various activities on this or that website.

We all knew it would happen. It was only a matter of time.
Over the weekend, YouTube, following closely behind Photobucket (now a MySpace entity), told the world it too had fallen for Adobe’s Web-based video editing software solution, Premiere Express. Photobucket began offering its own Premiere Express-powered editor back in late February of this year.

37signals, the team renowned for giving Ruby and her Rails a great rep, has had its five-some of web apps out for a while (in Internet years) now, so you can forgive us if we’re very curious to see what’s next on the firm’s agenda. Fortunately, they had an answer for anyone reading the company blog on Monday.
Posted on the Signal vs. Noise blog on the 12th, a tip by Jason Fried as to the happenings at home base was juicy [...]

Robert Scoble has recently shared how to utilize the look of your blog to make it appealing. And he talked about what Kathy Sierra had done to her blog. Kathy is definitely someone who is good at what she is doing. At least, she knows how to attract attention of her readers. Like any other good blogger, she provides great content on her blog, but what sets her apart from the rest is that she is so dedicated to her [...]

Why do we keep on getting new tools each and every day? And the scarier part is, they’re getting better and better each time a new application appears. Guess it’s because *programmers are a lazy bunch of people*. Why do I say that? Well, only lazy people will want to think of a way to save their energy and time doing things that they need to do over and over again. Which means, they hate routine and they would rather [...]

If you browse the web frequently and read a lot of blogs related to web 2.0, you will definitely know who Michael Arrington is. But, if you haven’t heard of him yet, let me share a little bit of him. He is the founder of Techcrunch, the website that specializes in profiling and reviewing new Internet products and companies. So, eventually, we will need to talk about Techcrunch for all this to make sense. Exactly what makes Techcrunch to be so [...]
