    Nick O’Neill of AllFacebook just pointed out that you can now separate all your Facebook friends out into groups. It can be used to send out mass messages and event invitations. But…. I think they are missing the main point of segmenting your friends: privacy. In my mind, the whole reason for being able to…

    As I mentioned in a previous post, new avenues of communication complement, not replace, older methods of communication. There are a ton of ways to get in touch with me. How do you choose which one to contact for each person? My idea? Create a system where you can sign up for a special e-mail…

    I’m not a networker. I’ll give you a second to get over the shock. I’ve always operated under the impression that in the technical world, doing great work far outweighs who you know and who knows you, and that “networking” is left to the business types. In the corporate world, this holds true. You do…

    I heard some rumors over the weekend, and now TechCrunch is reporting that CompUSA is shutting down. Good. They shut down the store nearest me in Maryland a while back. It was replaced by a Micro Center, a chain I had never heard of. To put it simply, they nailed it. A haven for both…

    I’ve been using Twitter for a week now. Here’s my account. I held off on joining it for so long because I thought it was the same as IM. It has the same interface (short text messages), but is completely different. The API opens up a lot of possibilities. Plus it’s a free SMS gateway.…

    Wave by wave, technology has brought us amazing advancements. Problem is, they don’t replace each other, they are cumulative. People still have records, 8-tracks, tapes, CDs, minidiscs*, 8mm reels, VHS tapes, DVDs… All are recently or long obsolete, but still technically operational, and therefore used. The same happens with communication, particularly recently. Not only do…

    Since Wikipedia can be edited by anyone, everything you are viewing is merely reflects a moment in time. You can come back a day later and it’ll be different. While I was doing some searching for the previous blog post, I came across this little gem for the wikipedia entry on Intrapreneurship. Click here to…

    I’m sitting here tonight on the brink of launching. The problem is, I’ve been like this for months. Any geek with a few hours free and a web host (I have 3+) can throw together a web application. Take an idea you have, or just find one online. Buy a domain name for it, upload…
