Goodbye Flickr. Hello Zooomr.

  • 6 Jun, 2007

I’m no longer an active Flickr user as I’ve switched over to Zooomr for all my photo sharing needs. Actually, I did this long ago, but now that Zooomr Mark III is out, I thought I’d share. There were two things that drove me away from Flickr. One, the photo limit. I hit the max […]

Adobe’s Apollo Leaves Me Confused

  • 31 May, 2007

I don’t remember who, but in my recent feed reading someone said that Adobe’s Apollo was going to be a great thing. So I installed it last night only to be left confused on what I was doing. Apollo is basically an invisible application that you can run mini applications on. Much like Yahoo Widget […]

Help Save A Startup – Zooomr

  • 30 May, 2007

One of my favorite startup companies is in need of help. Zooomr is a great photo sharing site much like Flickr or Photobucket. However, during a recent upgrade, they ran into major issues. Now they are in dire need of new database machines to get everything back online. One can donate via the Zooomr homepage. […]

Run red lights in NYC without leaving home.

  • 29 May, 2007

If you haven’t seen the buzz, Google Maps now has street level views. You can actually see what the city looks like from the street level along with what’s to the right and left of you. All views from the drivers seat. Unfortunately this isn’t available for all cities yet, but New York City is […]

Now Twittering & Tumbling

  • 19 May, 2007

I’m now on Twitter and Tumblr and checking them out. I actually signed up for Twitter a long time ago, but never used it. It’s like IM only to a wider audience or so I understand. I don’t really see the point. However, I do have cool Firefox extension that makes Twittering soooo easy. Now […]

Google Loves Apple? iGoogle Launched

  • 1 May, 2007

I was reading over at TechCrunch that Google personalized homepages were re-launching as iGoogle. When I logged into my account, sure enough, there it was; iGoogle. Now, most things that start with an i followed by a product name remind me of Apple. I think it was that iMac that started it all and of […]

Google Reader Advances

  • 29 Sep, 2006

I can’t say I was ever a big fan of Google Reader, it was just a little to weird for me. However, the new Google Reader seems to be more advanced and much nicer. I’m actually quite digging the simple interface, nice layout and the stared or shared items.The only thing missing is browser integration. […]

Lycos Mail Mini-Review

  • 3 Aug, 2006

Well Lycos is the newest contender in the competition to win over your email business. So, jumping on the bandwagon, I gave Lycos Mail ago. Overall, it’s nice, but lacking. The interface looks really nice. It has a good color scheme and an up-to-date graphics. However, the graphical ads kill it. It tarnishes the nice […]
