The Web Life

I am very excited about my new blog on ZDNet.


It’s called The Web Life. I will basically cover three topics:

  • Cutting-edge web utilities that I find useful. This can involve any website that helps humans be more efficient. There are thousands of startups that have great products, but no one is writing about them. I will try to cover those products here, and also explain how companies can benefit from them.
  • Bay area tech parties. This blog is called “The Web Life” for a reason. Spending 10 hours a day online can be exhausting, so I have to balance it out with some social engineering. One of the benefits of living in San Francisco is the diverse tech scene. I will be posting wrap-ups, product demos, and photos from these events.
  • A little bit of social media theory. How are we using the web to communicate these days?

Yes, this blog will suffer, but it’s worth it.

    Way to go Andrew. That’s great - I checked it out earlier today. Might even subscribe to the RSS. No doubt you’ll have a video deal for the PlayStation network before the year is out :P

    Congrats on the step up, I always figured you were just a developer not a writer, I guess I was wrong.

    Looking forward to more great reading over there.

    Hi!
    I am going to wordcamp on Saturday, and during Wordcamp, I am going to be leading online wordgames on different people’s blogs.
    They will be silly, fun, low tech games using wordpress blogs.
    Would you like to host a game on your blog?
    Each game takes 15 minutes, and you would need to be able to post the game, and keep track of comments that 15 minutes while you are at wordcamp.
    Go to http://www.bodyabcs.com/bwp/word-games/ to read more about it.

    Much Love,
    dk
