Google has just announced that starting today, U.S. based Gmail users will now be able to place and receive phone calls directly from the Gmail interface. Calls placed to U.S. and Canadian-based numbers are free, and if you need to make international calls, the rates are extremely cheap. I signed up for a Google Voice [...]

As if I didn’t already have enough to get done, I found out last night that I somehow got a computer swine flu virus. Well, that’s what I’m calling it anyways. Now it doesn’t look like my computer is going to die but it’s definitely not doing well. I realized I had a virus/malware/rootkit when [...]

Whats going on with FriendFeed? FriendFeed is a service which, instead of layering a meta-network on top of all your other social networks, will create a news feed incorporating them all much like the Facebook news feed.

As of Friday, I was left without a job. The software company I worked for as a Business Development Manager locating top partners and getting them to sell our products had to cut expenses.

I manage a few different sites. Over the years of blogging and setting up other websites, I have been introduced to many different types of trackers to monitor the amount of people visiting a website. I have standardized on Google Analytics for everything only because the data is accurate and it shows me really what’s [...]

I was chatting it up with a fellow Tweet the other day talking about interesting Twitter apps that we both like to see if anything new has come around. In the conversation we started talking about Twitter Karma and how a good Twitter Follow/Follower ratio matters. I never had given much thought to it but [...]
