Facebook and Twitter are the ListServ and Chain Letter of the 21st Century.

I have been thinking about this for awhile now. I’m a person who desires control over their information. Someone might coin me a privacy nut. But I don’t want to forever be in a database of a business because I purchase an e-card. The more I thought about Facebook and Twitter, I wanted to get [...]

Monoprice, public disclosure in real time.

Apparently Monoprice.com, a great place to get discount goods to fulfill your geekiness requirements, has gotten into a bit of a fix. Something happened that made people give notice to Monoprice. A ripple in the force I suppose. Some people were wondering about odd charges on their credit cards, and somehow linked it to Monoprice.com. [...]

Classmates.com could have been Facebook.com

Classmates.com, a site dedicated to gathering school chums in one big mass and keeping them in touch. The service never caught hold the way that Facebook has, but I think Classmates has been generating revenue for awhile now:

Classmates Media:

People Upset Over Fake Core i7 Blame Newegg instead of Counterfeiters

I used to have a sign in my office that read:
Quality
Speed
Low Cost
Pick Two.
It reminded people that although you can get something quickly at a cost, it won’t be cheap. But if you want something cheap and fast, it won’t be the highest quality possible, and if you want something low cost and high quality, it [...]

Desktop Computers Stop in their Tracks, Make a Right Turn.

I’ve been saying for a year or so now, that the PC Desktop market is going to dry up soon and everything will switch to a mobile computing platform of one kind or another.
That is why I have UMPCfan.com and TABLETfan.com which are other projects in my 100 in 1 Year master project.
You see, desktop [...]

Busy working on projects and job hunting…

I’m working on a lot of projects and still job hunting, so things are very quiet here on this blog. I’ve got changes going on at ohmTown and SMASHorTRASH while having relaunched MobWatch, JewelCrafting, and BeadBaby. JDrater, StreamStars, and about 3 others are going to be launched soon. In all cases, these are niche social [...]

Big Brother Comes Home

An interesting article on BoingBoing yesterday titled “School used student laptop webcams to spy on them at school and home”. What appears to have happened is this; Laptops were given to students of the Lower Merion School District in Pennsylvania. Those laptops had webcams in the bezel as laptops today normally do. But these laptops [...]

Interesting Site: The Sixty One

Well, thesixtyone.com decided to make a change to the user interface and its experience altogether and there has been an upheaval of sorts. Some people don’t like change, especially when it is a bad one. So, I thought I’d take a look at the music site. I had forgotten about t61. I’m a fan of [...]

What do you think Social Networks are all about Mr. Hyde?

Andrew Hyde decided to commit location based service suicide because his interaction with sites like FourSquare led to him being discovered in the real world. It is disconcerting when someone shows up on your doorstep due to your interaction online. I know from personal experience due to a bad interaction with Samsung posting my personal [...]

And projects continue to be relocated!

I’m still moving projects and launching associated blogs. I’m going to be moving things like MobWatch.com which is an online reputation manager that I’ve been wanting to advertise for awhile, and another rating/review site called JDrater.com which centers around rating and reviewing attorneys and law firms in the US.
Stay tuned, and if you are interested, [...]

Facebook, Privacy, and Your Info is No Longer YOURS.

So, apparently Facebook has disallowed/blocked a brilliant application of Web 2.0 interconnectedness. The SuicideMachine is a site that allows you to purge your online identity with the click of a few buttons. And, when this launched, I knew it was going to be a headache, but one easily fixed. Block it.
Here is the key ethical [...]
