I haven’t been a big fan of social networks to date. Largely because I believe that social networks are defined by people and not so much by software. Software does have a place though and can play a very big part. Until now, social networks have been synonymous with Facebook. For me, Facebook is a [...]

Waze – Twitter for navigation
Lately I’ve been addicted to a pretty neat application called Waze. It brands itself as a social navigation app and has apps for the iPhone, Android, Windows Mobile and Symbian. I actually played with both the iPhone and Windows Mobile app and both work pretty decently. The app is pretty addictive. You essentially get points [...]
Follow Friday – May 22, 2009 (aka the TWEEPS post)
I can’t believe it’s Friday already and it’s time to crank out another Follow Friday post. It’s been a surprisingly busy week and I’ve not had much chance to blog or tweet of late. I’m hoping that Follow Fridays aren’t the only posts I do in May =D. So my theme for this weeks Follow [...]
Dennis Kneale and Saul Colt on CNBC
I was really curious about seeing this clip because I work with Saul and he's a really amazing person (more about that on Friday). The clip caught me by surprise as Bill came across very negatively and extremely ignorant. The reality is that social media is here to stay and will be a tool (just [...]
Back on track
It's been an up-and-down tech week for me. If you've followed me on Twitter, you'd have seen my frustrations with my phone since my Colorado trip. I had decided to try the Energy ROM which is very fast and very pretty but I ran into a tonne of problems with stability. After trying out a [...]

Getting news aggregation to work for me – Attempt 1
The challenge of news aggregation has been quite an interesting one for a while. The overall business problem I've been trying to address for a while now is to find a system that will aggregate my news information, read the information and allow me to share interesting articles with others through email or RSS feeds [...]
Social Median – Initial Review
The wonderful thing about the internet is that there is such an abundant of good information out there. There isn't a day where I don't come across an entry from another blog that I find interesting and end up following. The unfortunate outcome is that I end up having a huge amount of blogs that [...]
Why Google is THE Killer Platform
Google has the right idea; there's no doubt about it. Even though Google is most famous for it's search, it actually provides a killer service platform for someone like me. When I look at all the web tools that I use today, Google provides a reasonable use of it. It is definitely more useful and [...]
Things I like about Twitter
I decided to write a very quick blog about how I use twitter because I've had quite a few people asking why I think Twitter is an interesting tool. So why not? I'm in need of material to write about anyway. Lately we've been experimenting with Twitter a lot more at work. If I were [...]
