Mash is truly interactive

September 17, 2007 – 12:16 am

Yahoo! just launched it’s new “social-netorking” site, Mash. It’s basically Facebook, with more customization and the ability to let your friends edit your profile.

You can also customize the CSS any way you’d like. It’s more mature than MySpace, more interactive than Virb, and more interesting than Facebook. I can’t get away from the website.
I love [...]

Memorable Demos from TechCrunch 9

July 28, 2007 – 6:26 pm

I say memorable because they fed us drinks.
As the sun set on Menlo Park Friday night, hundreds of interactive web heads gathered on the patio to test and show off their projects.

It reminded me of a high school science fair, but with margaritas and pretty girls.

There were a handful of gracious sponsors, impressive product launches, [...]

Highlights from WordCamp 2007

July 23, 2007 – 2:07 am

Unconferencing is one of the reasons I moved to San Francisco. They are free, geek-infested, and very enlightening. The open source software community is probably my favorite group of folks to hang out with here.
I spent my whole day at WordCamp 2007, hosted at the Swedish American Hall in downtown SF.

The event was [...]

Easily follow your Facebook friends on Twitter.

July 19, 2007 – 2:22 am

I am always trying to move my friends over to use Twitter to update their status. I love Facebook’s status feature, but I don’t have time to log into Facebook 10 times a day.
I created a Twitter bot to syndicate my friend’s Facebook status RSS feed.
I also really like using Twitterrific, and I already [...]

Pownce on this

June 29, 2007 – 2:06 am

Digg’s Kevin Rose has finally unveiled his secret project, and as you’d expect, it’s spelled wrong.
Pownce offers users the ability to share notes, events, and other media with friends in their network. This is not your typical social networking site though.
The moment you sign up, you are automatically friends with the person who invited you, [...]

Why I love Twitter

June 13, 2007 – 2:04 am

It’s passive interpersonal communication. You can know what your friends are doing, without even trying.

When I try to explain the logic behind Twitter, most people respond, "Why do you care?"
Because a simple text message or an IM notification is convenient. Sometimes I don’t really care what people are doing, but it only takes 5 [...]
