Google Reader for iPhone gripes
I love Google reader for the iPhone, its simplicity makes it fantastic and fast. Unfortunately, I think they streamlined it a little too much. It’s an 9 out of 10, but with these pretty minor nits, it could go to 11!
Gripe #1 - Why is there no way to read already read posts? True most [...]
More on the Google PageRank Brouhaha
The world of SEO is endlessly fascinating to me. I know the basics but enjoy watching those steeped in the mysteries discuss its ebbs and flows. This most recent controversy with Google manually punishing those it deems have crossed its invisible line seems to have gotten everyone uptight - some feel it just and righteous [...]

This is why competition is good
You know it turns out monopolies are bad, when customers have no where else to go what incentive does a company have to do anything good? Look no further than the telcos or the cable cos to see proof of this.
Intel, the “tel” part of the wintel monopoly has been terrible. Easily as bad as [...]
Crazy Rumors: Google buying Sprint?
Wow. I wasn’t expecting to see this rolling up in my Google Reader, but here’s some dude saying that he’s hearing some words about Google mulling over a Sprint Nextel takeover. It doesn’t seem overly likely to me.
The funny thing, though? I kinda think it’s an interesting idea. Google wants to get onto handsets and [...]
Google Android… yaawwnnn
Google’s recent entrance into the mobile world seems like a bit of a yawner to me. I mean seriously, does Google even believe in anything it does these days? It’s like a high school freshman who’s talented but totally insecure, so they do this good stuff but then kinda don’t stand behind it, kinda chuckle [...]
No gPhone, Android and the Open Handset Alliance.
UPDATE: Whoops, just read a little more and discovered that Android is a linux based OS. Interesting.
So as I thought, there’s no gPhone. It never made sense, y’know? Instead they’ve announced the Open Handset Alliance and the Android platform for mobile devices, basically a mobile OS.
There aren’t many details on why Android is the bomb, [...]
Google Analytics Goal Tracking
So, I’ve been playing around with Google Analytics for awhile now, getting a sense of what’s what. Something that I haven’t really checked out, though, was it’s goal tracking abilities. Basically goals are urls on your site that you designate as special - for example a magazine site may designate the confirmation page of a [...]
Matt Cutts’ Google Reader Poll
If you are a Google Reader user and wish for nothing more than a true, good offline Google Reader client please read on. If you do not fit those traits, there’s nothing for you to see here. Move along.
Offline reading good? Good. Matt Cutts is conducting an unofficial poll of most desired new feature for [...]
Google’s enduring love
Well, a specific portion of the webnet is talking about the latest big change to Google’s ranking algorithms that seem to have spanked many of the most prominent websites. You, my valued ad-clicking reader, will be relieved… relieved to know that the pagerank of this very site stands firm at a modest, but increasingly interesting [...]
Ads: Google v. Everyone
Google’s big. Everyone knows it, and they got big because of online ads. Everyone wants a piece of that pie, but sadly, all they’re getting is crumbs. There’s a lot of competition in the space, but none of it is very successful, Microsoft certainly isn’t. Panama is seeing some signs of life in the Yahoo [...]
