It looks like Google is getting ready to deploy a framework that will allow website owners to capitalize on the social networking sites like Facebook and MySpace. I kind of figured that such a framework was in the making but was a little surprised that Google was the one that would bring it to fruition […]

Facebook Gets $100M Loan for Servers
Wow, talk about a bank note! Facebook just got a $100 million dollar loan from a venture capital group out of California so they can add additional servers to their infrastructure. Get this, they were able to pull off this deal without tying up any equity in the company. I think in some ways this […]
Twitter Leads Social Site Downtime
Pingdom did a recent report on downtime for social networking sites and determined that Twitter has had way more downtime than other popular social networking sites that are out there like MySpace and Facebook, etc. This didn’t come to me as a huge surprise, I have been using Twitter for about a month or two […]
Twitter = $80 Million Valuation
To me this is a little hard to understand. I have just been writing off Twitter’s recent reliability issues and poor service to lack of funding, growing pains, and Ruby on Rails in general, but after reading how easily these guys have been able to secure investors and financing it makes me wonder if it’s […]
Twitter Applications, Mashups and Tools
I have seen a lot of trends come and go over the past ten or so years that I have been working with the web but I don’t think that I have every seen anything pick up as much momentum as Twitter has. Even MySpace and Facebook took a little while to get off of […]

Jason Lee Miller wrote another good entry today on Twitter and made some observations. I, myself, have been pondering Twitter as of late and I think that I have gotten my mind around about a half dozen or so practical applications for it to be useful in today’s landscape. Jason notices some different things about […]
Facebook Launches Instant Messaging!
Facebook has launched Instant Messaging on it’s popular social network. I had no idea that Facebook was the second largest social network on the web, I guess that MySpace is probably still the top dog. In my opinion, and I have stated this in the past, MySpace is just too “out of control”, often times […]
What is a Forum?
In earlier Blog Posts I have discussed the differences between Forums, or Message Boards, and their popular counterpart, the Blog. I had a client today send a note asking us if we had a document that explained what a forum was and how it operated so they could in turn release this document to their […]
The Amazon Kindle
I ran across something pretty cool today on Amazon that I thought was worthwhile posting here. It’s a neat little device that’s put out by online retailer Amazon.com. Here’s a little bit of info on the Amazon Kindle: Amazon Kindle is a revolutionary portable reader that wirelessly downloads books, newspapers, magazines and blogs to a […]
