I spent the week at MWC in Barcelona this past week. I made my way to a bunch of booths and companies. It was a huge show. Here are some thoughts: Phone Operating Systems There were many new phones released at the show. LG announced 50 phones, Samsung had 22 more, Sony/Ericcson announced a new [...]
Why aren’t you better? I’ve been a big flickr fan for years. I take a lot of photos and that’s always been my favorite spot to put them. Flickr‘s been great at pioneering the 2.0 photo experience. They were the first to have a photostream view – not just albums. And they were the first [...]
Not in terms of functionality or ease of use but check this out: Yahoo dominates e-mail with 88.4 million users in the United States in August, according to comScore. That is far more than Microsoft’s Windows Live Hotmail at 45.2 million and AOL at 44.8 million, not to mention Gmail at 26.0 million. When you [...]
Isn’t Yahoo! supposed to compete with Google and other consumer properties? I mean, even AOL has an RSS reader (here). People are using RSS readers more and more and Google’s making it social. I now get feeds shared to me every day and they’re usually the most interesting ones. For instance the image below was [...]
Yahoo! announced a change of CEO yesterday. I love some of Yahoo! products like Flickr, MyBlogLog, Yahoo Sports, Yahoo Maps, and Delicious. When they bought Delicious, Google and Yahoo were neck in neck in terms of who had better products and a better vision. Delicious opted to sell to Yahoo as they were better in [...]
I love my Google Reader. I like being able to stay in one “web inbox” and cruise through a stream of web clips. One thing I don’t like is hassle of placing a comment on a blog. To leave a comment, i have to leave Google Reader and go to the blog, then type in [...]
Granted, i haven’t seen it in person or used it, but i watched the Macworld speech by Steve Jobs about it and let me tell you – the phone looks incredible. The phone looks awesome but more than that, it is over-delivering. Again, Apple is taking everyone’s expectations, throwing them out the window and giving [...]
After visiting Romania, i attended the Le Web 3 conference in Paris. While i won’t get into what went on the second day (kinda lame), i wanted to post my notes on the first day of speakers. Here goes: 10-10:30: Real World and why it matters: Hans Rosling This was a fantastic presentation of describing [...]
I saw the annoucement last week (and news stories) of the new AOL CEO, Randy Falco, and got to wondering, if I’m in charge of running AOL which is now in the business of monetizing traffic to AOL.com and other pages, how would i do it? A few thoughts came to mind…. First, i would [...]
As you cruise the Web2.0 aisle, you’ll see almost every site has a “beta” tag attached to it. For those of you who don’t know, “beta” is a label you put on a product before it’s ready for primetime, before you launch. Officially (and according to wikipedia), the beta period is likely to be unstable [...]
