  Must Read: TIME TO START TAKING THE INTERNET SERIOUSLY

  03.09.10 | Permalink | Comment?

  This is possibly the most titillating article I’ve read on the future of the Internet since the early days of Web 2.0, circa 2004. I actually got chills reading it. No kidding, chills! Unfortunately, it also confirmed some of my beliefs regarding the current state of the Internet.
  I recently read somewhere that, for this [...]

  Notice anything different?

  Yup, that’s right…everything. I traded in my original (hacked beyond recognition) red theme, for a new, more functional minimalistic theme. It’s amazing what a fresh coat of CSS will do for a site. All the code under the hood has been overhauled as well.
  I also changed the name of the site from :skyecade online [...]

  I’m having a lot of fun over at goodreads.com. I’ve always been a fan of the concept of social networks, but I have yet to find one that I really enjoy. Until now. I think one problem is the fact that other social networking sites are too broad in their social networking scope. I [...]

  A GOOD customer service experience

  09.06.07 | Permalink | 3 Comments

  Too often do we read about customer service nightmares, and too rarely do we read about the pleasures of dealing with certain companies. I’ve always thought this was a bit backwards.
  Well, I just had a great customer service experience and I want to give credit where credit is due. Last week I ordered a book [...]

  Dr Vint Cerf – The end of TV as we know it

  08.27.07 | Permalink | Comment?

  What a great article. Check it out here. It’s about Dr. Vint Cerf (guy who helped build the Internet back in the seventies and is dubbed the Godfather of the Net) and some of his predictions on where the Internet is heading, including the eventual demise of conventional television.
  It’s a must read for Internet enthusiasts. [...]

  Twitter, Jaiku, & Pownce

  07.09.07 | Permalink | Comment?

  The days of microblogging are upon us. Say what you want in 140 characters or less, but which service should you use? Twitter? Jaiku? Pownce? Why not all three? I’ve used (am using) each of these microblogging platforms and have found that each has its own unique set of qualities. Here’s the lowdown…
  The original…or [...]

  If anyone out there on the great Interweb would like to shoot me an invite to Pownce, I will be forever in your debt.
  For those of you who don’t have the foggiest idea what I’m talking about, allow me to enlighten you. Pownce is sort of like twitter + ftp + instant messaging, all [...]

  Goog 411 – Google’s free 411 service

  06.18.07 | Permalink | Comment?

  I was snooping around the Google Labs today and I noticed a new service called Google Voice Local Search. How intriguing! It’s Google’s version of 411, but instead of using the conventional methods of other phone directories, this service seems to be tied in directly with their search algorithm, or more likely a tweaked version [...]
