Tweet Of course, alerts are nothing new, but to tie onto an old post, I have taken ego surfing to a new level.  Latest alert, “Jeremy Floyd.”  If you blog, post my name and I will let you know if Google is indexing your...

Google Local Calling...

Tweet A while back I remember hearing rumors of Google’s business phone connect, but today I had the time to give it a test drive.  For any listing in Google’s local business directory, you can click on “call,” enter a phone number where you can be reached, and zap bang boom your phone rings and you are immediately connected to the businesses number. The opportunity for running refrigerators and Seymour Butts are endless, but you better watch out because Google takes pranking very...

Media Junkie: Busted...

Tweet How do you make up for not buying a Valentine’s gift for the wife? Take this story to heart. Kept buying shitty phones and broken media devices green and dripping with DRM. You broke the site, clogging up the pipe like retarded salmon Ouch. Gordon, read that...

Tweet Everybody who’s anybody has been writing about PIPES recently.  I have run a few of the prebuilt pipes, and I have the sense that this is something really big, and I am unable to figure out its use fully (beyond tying flickr pix to NYTIMES).  On the other hand, this could be another web 2.0 pipe...

Bring Me the News–When it Happens:...

Tweet The days of searching through reams of newspaper print for stories that are applicable to our lives are in their twilight.  RSS feeds (aka blogs) and Google Alerts change the way that valuable information is delivered.  In this segment, I would like to specifically deal with Google Alerts and how they can change our information flow.  For several years, I have used Google Alerts to comb the Internet for specific topics, and basically I thought of the alerts as a little geek secret.  However,...

Rewind That: Picking an Alternative End...

Tweet Happiness, for me, on January 9th was not anxiously awaiting Steve Jobs announcement; it was instead watching the Doctor’s announcement of the latest Floyd line, baby boy Floyd. However, once the kid popped, I was glad to dive into news of the new iPhone and appletv. In a post delivery daze, I fumbled through pages of phone porn for hours pondering all the while creative tactics to avoid Verizon’s early termination penalties. Big Score Cingular. I finally turned my attention to appletv...
