I finally get Twitter, then it breaks

March 12, 2007

Apparently, Twitter has been severely hobbled from the convergence of nerds in Austin for SXSW. I’m still not sure I’d use the service as much in my day to day (maybe Stuart can change my mind), but man I can see it’s use here at a big conference. At smaller shows, like Northern Voice or [...]

Microsoft Photosynth demo Wow… I never say wow about Microsoft products (unless it’s wow, that’s lame or wow, have you heard of usability?). But this is a very cool 3d photo visualization tool.

Moguls of New Media – WSJ

July 31, 2006

WSJ has a great profile of video and audio social media moguls. No surprises here, but Chad Vader sure was fun. While I’m pretty familiar with the world of user created content, I hadn’t ventured into the world of user created games. Fancy Pants Adventure on AddictingGames is the rightful successor to the Super Mario [...]
