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

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?

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

Was The Search Battle Already Over?

By now you have heard that Microsoft and Yahoo have entered into a partnership for their search functionality. People are obviously making a big deal about this, but it is not as big as it seems. First, Yahoo is still a separate company, and did not completely sell to Microsoft. An outright acquisition was what… Read More Was The Search Battle Already Over?

Google Putting Together A Cash Cow

I have to admit that the Google Chrome OS announcement bothered me a bit. I was not concerned about the level of coverage it received, but it just felt that there was something missing. An OS announcement with limited details, and everyone wondering where Android fit with it, just felt wrong. Google is hiding something.… Read More Google Putting Together A Cash Cow

Google LBC Is A Treasure For Small Business

Yesterday, Google announced the availability of the Local Business Center dashboard. Initially, I was surprised that this received so little coverage, but I realized it had nothing to do with early adopters or startups. So, you did not see anything from the typical tech blogs. However, you should absolutely look at this. Basically, this gives… Read More Google LBC Is A Treasure For Small Business

With All This Openness Where Is The Destination?

About two weeks ago, Alexander Van Elsas had an interesting post where he asked several questions about the current state of web applications. There were a few questions that really bothered me as I initially thought they had been answered several times: If everything becomes open and connected, what will happen to the big destinations?… Read More With All This Openness Where Is The Destination?

Google App Engine Makes A Play For Startups

In case you did not hear the news, Google has announced the availability of Java on Google App Engine. This is a very big development for many developers as Java is widely used, but not typically supported cheaply. Many hosting services allow for Java applications, but normally you just get the ability to drop in… Read More Google App Engine Makes A Play For Startups

If Twitter Is For Sale, Who Should By It?

The internet is alive with rumors that Google is in talks to acquire Twitter. This is not overly surprising as Google tends to make a run at many hot properties. The concern with this is that Google does not have a great record of integrating new purchases and having them flourish. They already bought and… Read More If Twitter Is For Sale, Who Should By It?
