    Where Google Chrome Failed To Succeed: The Integration Of Google Services started by Corvida
    Today, Techmeme was probably the last site you wanted to visit if you weren’t interested in the latest Google news. The popular news meme was full of links about Google’s latest entrance in to the browser wars with Chrome. You can read plenty of information about Google Chrome on ReadWriteWeb and in the ReadWriteWeb [...]
    Why Twitter Has Failed: The Power of Time and Mainstream started by Corvida
    To a certain extent Twitter is a mass failure. Andy DeSoto points out hints of Twitter’s failure thus far with “What the iPhone Application Store tells us about Twitter”. While Twitter is a major hit within our web bubble, it’s a major failure in the real world.

           

    Twitter and Mainstream Success

    Alert Thingy Desktop App Wasn’t Worth The Wait started by Corvida
    A few days ago, Sobees released their Friendfeed desktop app (bTittleTattle) and there were many complaints and suggestions for the app. However, everyone was still holding their breath for Alert Thingy, a Friendfeed desktop app with an interface similar to Twhirl. When it previewed on TechCrunch, the most obvious reason for the hold out […]
    Twitter Redesign Finally Goes Live started by Corvida
    Back in July I was one of the first to break the news about a Twitter redesign that accidentally went live well before its time. FYI: TechCrunch copied and pasted practically my entire post about this. The redesign was available for all of about 3 minutes with only a handful of people able to grab
    Was Digg Right To Ban Diggboss For His Helpful Script? started by Corvida
    As a member of Digg since from mid 2006, but relatively inactive until 2007, Diggboss has been a great and valuable member of Digg for years. Today I was shocked to see that Digg has banned Diggboss from using the site. Diggboss diggs more than his fair share of articles on the site and [...%
    Why Location Based Social Networks Need To Offer Something Different started by Corvida
    Today on FriendFeed, Tamar Weinberg posted a message on FriendFeed about giving up on Brightkite. I asked Tamar what she was getting out of it to begin with and she replied,
    To be honest, not much. I forged one real life friendship out of it, so that was cool — it was fun to s
    Deciding Who To Follow On Twitter started by Corvida
    With the relative success of a few of my posts relating to Twitter, FriendFeed, and RSSmeme (see ‘Personal Picks’ in the sidebar), has come the influx of Twitter followers, which I have no complaints about. However, I’m a pretty picky person when it
    Social Media Is Far From Overrated started by Corvida
    Today, Steven Hodson pointed out a great article in his post Is Social Media Losing Its Shiny New Luster? He pointed to a post by Mack Collier entitled Is Social Media overrated?

    Mack poses two really good questions about social media and companies:       

    So if Social Media is overrated and overhyped, as some claim, why [...]

    Have You Lost Your Job Because Of Technology? started by Corvida
    Last week I had a conversation with a neighbor about technology. The conversation stemmed from her question about I do for work. It’s pretty hard to explain blogging to some folks but I just told her that I review a lot of web services and analyze web news, which pretty much sums up my online [...]
    Twitter 101: Clarifying The Rules For Newbies started by Corvida
    Lots of Twitter guides tell you what you should do, but rarely explain how it should be done.

      When joining Twitter, finding a "tweeting", or messaging, balance will be rocky at first. Don’t worry, that’s expected and we’ve all been through it. Don’t give up. If you’re taking any of the thousands of tips out […]
    Where’s The Full Feature Facebook App? started by Corvida
    I’ve been keeping up with the news on the amount of downloads Facebook’s app for the iPhone has received. Being an iPhone user and early adopter of Facebook since I’m a college student, it satisfied a certain amount of curiosity I have with Facebook these days. Recently, they’ve reached over 1 million downloads, which [...]

    I’ve already raved numerous times about the Disqus social commenting system. I’ve hailed it as a next generation application and service, it’s been integrated into SheGeeks and I have numerous friends that are using it on their sites too.

    The Repetition of The Blogosphere started by Corvida
    For the past week, a lot of my Twitter followers have noted that I’ve been M.I.A. (missing in action). And I have. To be honest, I’ve gotten a little bored with socializing online. That’s not to say I’m tired of talking to my friends online. I touched basis with Cyndy (a.k.a. the other Louis [...]

    Arrington wants to stroke me, my ego that is. started by Corvida
    While she was not looking, I figured a little guest blogging by Corvida’s partner-in-crime, IdoNotes (and on Twitter) was required. So here I am.

    Mainly when Michael Arrington offers to stroke my ego in a recent TechCrunch article.  The main point of his article was the following, and is the focus of my rant in return:

    Why Are “We” More Willing Than Mainstream? started by Corvida
    After reading a ton of articles today, I pondered one thought, why are we more willing than mainstream to sign up for a bunch of services that they aren’t?

            

    We’re Everywhere!

    We’re on everything. We’re everywhere, and we don’t really care that our every action is published for the entire web to see. In fact, [...]
    Do You Want To Have Michael Phelps Baby? started by Corvida
    I don’t, but I think this Phelps shirt from Hotness Factory is..well…hotness, not to mention hilarious too!
    I wouldn’t have his baby, but I’d love this shirt. Very creative product for less than $20 (well more with shipping included).

    Scaling Web 2.0 – Reaching The Limits started by Corvida
    Last week Twitter implemented a limit on the number of people you’re allowed to follow. I’ve seen numerous numbers, but the common limit seems to be 2k users. While the limit is a work in progress, that’s a lot of (hopefully) great conversation to go around. However, for major players in the web game, [...]
    Be Careful What You Buy In The App Store started by Corvida
    Boing Boing has recently written up an article about a very serious concern for people who buy apps from the iTunes App Store. Apple does not refund the money on apps that they pull from the store. According to the post, one customer tried to receive a refund from Apple for pulling the NetShare [...]
    Social Media Has Not Reached Mainstream started by Corvida
    You don’t need statistics to tell you that "our world" of social media tools like Twitter, Friendfeed, and RSS has not reached mainstream.      

    Survey Your Surroundings

    Just survey your friends or better yet, take a look at who you socialize with the most online. I’m willing to bet my next blog post […]
    Rushmore Drive: An Ethnic Targeted Search Engine started by Corvida
     

    A few days ago, I found a link to Rushmore Drive, a search engine for African-Americans, or whatever the politically correct term might be.

    Appalled? Hell yes! So does this mean Google or Yahoo are  "white" or Caucasian or whatever the politically correct term is, search engines?! Since when did I start looking for […]
    Imeem In Trouble started by Corvida
    Very few music web services are safe these days. Imeem is not on the safe side. Over at Techcrunch there’s an article stating that Imeem is being sued by Warner Music and is also having its widgets blocked on Myspace. I fear that the end of Imeem may be approaching very soon, unless a miracle happens. [...]
