I predict Topify will get picked up by Twitter

October 20th, 2009 · No Comments

So who uses Twitter?  Ok, I’m kidding.  Have you used Topify though?  I have been using them for months now.  Topify is a service that intercepts the half baked emails that Twitter sends you and spices them up.  When someone adds me on Twitter I get an email from Topify alerting me to this and [...]

Pikchur now offers more sites to upload to

September 16th, 2009 · No Comments

I’ve been using Pikchur on an off for many months until recently when I became a full time user.  As soon as they started supporting Ovi Share I was converted.  Pikchur is like a few other picture dispensing sites except for the fact that they do a really good job in geo-tagging my pics and [...]

August 12th, 2009 · No Comments

I viewed this presentation titled “What the F**k is Social Media: One Year Later” and think it’s brilliant.  I agree with Marta to a T and she presents this so well.  If you haven’t watched it you should and if your company is considering Social Media jump on it ASAP.  Feel free to ping me [...]

Mobile phone and brand app stores have reinvigorated the internet and it looks like a small version of what it was before the bubble burst.  I was just reading Ewan Macleod come back story (great guy by the way) and I’m thinking about his Mobile Industry Developers TV and I’m thinking, it’s back to the [...]

Swine Flu can make Twitter shine… even more.

April 27th, 2009 · No Comments

I think there’s some some potential for Twitter to come  out of this sad and scary Swine Flu ordeal with shining colors.  Twitter could easily be a united global communications tool.  Like during the horrific attacks in India a few months back or a plane landing in the Hudson River in New York.  Twitter brings [...]

January 22nd, 2009 · 4 Comments

I want to thank Nokia and WOM World for  so graciously loaning me a Nokia E71 to review.  Now that they have it back (it’s been a few months now, I’m slow to publish sometimes) I am left without a work horse, everyday device.  I have been using a Nokia N78 but there are vast [...]

I flew Iberia airline earlier this week and again was very disappointed in the airline.  After having issues with our boarding passes at the airport we were told what terminal to go to but not what gate we would be using.  We were about 2.5 hours early for our flight and were told to wait [...]

Twitter is an amaizing tool that flattens the earth

When the US Airways flight 1549  crash landed in the the Hudson River earlier this week it shocked the world.  My question is, how did you hear about it?  I read it on Twitter and immediately turned on the TV to find no coverage.  So I went back to Twitter for the next 10 minutes [...]
