What’s brutal for people arguing on television is great for browsing.

I’m using this new FireFox extension (new to me, anyway).

Great for bloggers.

Twitter Tools to Make Twitter Faster, Funner, More Fantastic

Comments

Twitter Later is a great tool for people who have a small to large following.

Twitter Later is a great tool for people who have a small to large following.

I hope to review a few of these in depth because I’m not a Twitter expert nor am I as tech-centric as I seem to be to non-gadget friendly folks.

In the meantime, a little link love for a great article from Brian Solis:

PR 2.0: Twitter Tools for Community and Communications Professionals.

If you’re using Twitter already and are starting to have people randomly follow you (as I seem to lately), then the one service you shouldn’t wait to try is TwitterLater.

The Website Is Down

Very funny youtube comedy.  If you’ve ever called tech support (or given tech support), it’s a riot.

How scarey is this to get in your In Box? Overstock.com has launched a real estate segment?

And they have one for foreclosures?

Yikes!

Overstocking for real!

The Million Dollar Text Mesaging Plan

Comments

Do you think your texting plan sucks?

How about the stiff bill Detroit Mayor Kilpatrick just received for his text messages?

Mr. Kilpatrick’s troubles began in January when the Detroit Free Press published text messages between the mayor and his former chief of staff, Christine Beatty, that appeared to contradict their sworn testimony in a whistleblower trial last year that they didn’t have an affair.

Google Gives Up Copyright to Everything You See & Type (Again)

Comments


Google was at it again!

Google released a new product — its Chrome browser — and claimed rights to everything you could read or type into or submit through it.

This means… Owning your Tweets. Your blog posts. Your emails.

Crazy, huh?

Then Google caught its gaffe, and rescinded that part of the license.

Oddly, Google did this last year with its Google Docs.

The initial agreement claimed rights over “any Content which you submit, post or display on or through” the browser.

BBC NEWS | Technology | Google tweaks Chrome licence text

I can’t help but notice that Google’s splash page has a Trade Mark symbol, meaning that they’re watching their intellectual property very closely.  But yours? It’s their’s until they think better of it.  Or receive copious complaints.

Gizmodo Blackberry Bold Review Great Insult to Donald Trump

Comments

I’m having a tough time getting over just how fantastic and under-the-radar this insult is to Trump and The BlackBerry Bold.

The faux-leather backing, however, is absolutely puzzling, like RIM tried to add a touch of class in the same way Donald Trump’s hairdo gives him a touch of handsome.
