A quick note on scaling 2.0 - Delicious??
I know, the big news on scaling (or the lack thereof) has been Twitter. More internet agitation on a given service, I have rarely seen. (oddly in the avalanche of complains, the one I like best is Winer’s where he suggests, rightly, that there is no replacement for Twitter, its energy is just evaporating). We’ll [...]

Online Apps are always upgraded
This one’s pretty obvious, but it’s something that is interesting, at least. In general for the software industry, getting people upgraded was an important part of the business model - I’m not talking about paid upgrades to the next major version, I’m simply talking about getting fixes and patches out to the user base. Upgrading [...]
FriendFeed should be my own personal Techmeme
UPDATED: Tue Apr 1 14:27:25 EDT 2008
I know, I know, too much FriendFeed and not enough iPhone. ;) Just this one more and I’ll stop for awhile. You know, when you’ve got a little obsession you just gotta go with it for awhile, work through the demons.
A lot of these thoughts were swirling around [...]

FriendFeed has ceased fooling around
When I first starting reading and looking into FriendFeed I was pretty skeptical, not really of the service, but that I would be interested in it. Half of my problem with it was that I was trying to cram it into the same sort of category as Google Reader - a research and efficiency tool, [...]

My beef with FriendFeed
Well, there was no shortage of chatter about FriendFeed this weekend. So I signed up for it and gave it a teeny little spin. What it is is a social networking aggregator - so you login and you provide it all your information - your facebook, myspace, flicker, delicious (dropped the dots!), amazon wishlist, or [...]

There are no more experts
It looks like some hedge funds are looking to get into the NYTimes business. It seems to need some help what with its ad and classified revenues down quite a bit. They’re already cutting 100 newsroom jobs, but with the hedgefunds looking to get on the board it seems they need to do more, much [...]

Microsoft keeps on going
The thing that’s dangerous about Microsoft these days is that they’re like the Energizer Bunny. Since nearly any market they get into requires expenditures that are teeny compared to their business of OS and Office Suite, they can lose as much money as they want without it really affecting their bottom line (see Zune). Because [...]
Hulu Embedding… Chuck Norris!
So I just got my invite to Hulu, I’ve spent like 0 time with it, but I thought I’d try and see how this whole embedding thing works. First the original clip (SNL’s Chuck Norris video!):
And now using their neat clip cutter:
The clipper’s neat, but could use a little help with moving to a particular [...]
GeekFindr: RoundPic
There comes a time in every web2.0ers life where corners must be rounded. In an old GeekFindr we discussed CurvyCorners which allows you to round your divs (more or less) very easily if not incredibly efficiently. Now comes RoundPic which helps you round your images.
It’s a super simple tool that allows you to upload an [...]

Welcome to the Open Social
I’m stepping in front of the bus again. After the posting on how I’m not overly impressed with Google Android and the Open Handset Alliance, I’m similarly not impressed with the Open Social. It has nothing to do with the hacks that are starting to happen already, this is a fixable problem. And I’m not [...]
