A More Serious Look At Google Reader

Google Reader has been getting a lot of attention lately. This attention is due to the newer social features that the team has been adding. Given that my attempt at humor failed as usual and did not really explain what I was thinking. So, I decided I should write a more serious post about what… Read More A More Serious Look At Google Reader

Traditional Programming Language Job Trends

PLEASE REVIEW THE MORE RECENT VERSION FOR FEBRUARY 2010. I recently wrote about what programming languages jobs are currently requiring. In the comments and other venues, people mentioned it would be really interesting to see the job trends over time. So, I decided to see what trend information I could find. Thankfully, Indeed and SimplyHired… Read More Traditional Programming Language Job Trends

I Love You Google Reader, But We Have Some Issues

As I have said several times before, I am an information addict. I have Google Reader open all day, and FriendFeed open most of the day (except when I really need to get work done). I must admit that I love you Google Reader. However, there are a few issues we need to work on.… Read More I Love You Google Reader, But We Have Some Issues

We Are Just Google's Social Test Subjects

In the past week we have seen some interesting developments from Google. Inquisitr calls the social gadgets on iGoogle a “stealth attack against Facebook”: You see, very quietly Google has been working in the background on their social initiative and now as they start to roll out more and more of the smaller parts that… Read More We Are Just Google's Social Test Subjects

VMware Gets The Source Of Spring

The news has been all about the Facebook purchase of FriendFeed. I have already talked about that, but there was bigger news in the software development world. VMware bought SpringSource, and as a java software developer it is my duty to talk about this. The linked story has the perfect quote for why this deal… Read More VMware Gets The Source Of Spring

Why Did Facebook Buy FriendFeed?

So, the news of the FriendFeed purchase by Facebook has spread very quickly. Now, we need to ask the question of why. Why did Facebook buy FriendFeed when they have been “stealing” features for quite some time? In that post two months ago, I mentioned that FriendFeed is innovating and we would see what the… Read More Why Did Facebook Buy FriendFeed?

Yet Another Call For A Federated Twitter

Unless you live under a rock, you have heard that there were massive DDOS attacks that affected Twitter, Facebook and a few other sites. The sites affected had varying degrees of success in staying functional, but Twitter seemed to be the hardest hit. Given that Twitter was having issues for most of the day, many… Read More Yet Another Call For A Federated Twitter

Google Decided Reader Will Be The Real Time Hub

I admit that I am addicted to Google Reader. If you follow my shares, I average almost 35 shares a day and that is with me ensuring I do not share too much. My reader is open all day. However, in the past I have complained that the new features, like comments, groups and likes,… Read More Google Decided Reader Will Be The Real Time Hub

Are Tablets Doomed To Fail Again?

Tablet computing has risen from the dead, sort of. TechCrunch has their CrunchPad to be released in the fall, and Apple is rumored to be releasing one as well. The question is, what problem do tablets solve? We have the newer class of mobile phones (or smartphones if you must), that allow you to do… Read More Are Tablets Doomed To Fail Again?

Does Your Local Tech Community Have A PR Problem?

Over the course of this past week, a few blog posts got me thinking. If you are not one of the major tech hubs of Silicon Valley, Boston, New York City or Boulder, do people have a way to find out what is going on in your city? Jesse Stay mentioned that Utah has a… Read More Does Your Local Tech Community Have A PR Problem?
