TweetThis is no April Fool’s Day joke — if I could bet money on this, I would. While Bush is f’ing up the country, Gore is looking like a godsend, even if it’s just one of a flurry of issues: Global Warming. Gore just announced a $300mm ad blitz with a non-profit climate group. I [...]

Idea #82 – FriendFeed the new Twitter? WTF.

TweetOK, so I finally signed up for FriendFeed — and yes, it’s cool. I just feel like it’s been around. I mean, it has via different services already (MyBlogLog had this awhile back, but just never launched it; Plaxo has Pulse; SocialThing!; etc). My question is — why haven’t any of you coders built this [...]

TweetI’m looking for an AJAX/PHP/MySQL programmer that can write a script similar to that of the following sites: Kontera, Miva InLine, OptSpots, or Yahoo Shortcuts. The script would be javascript that would go on the webpage itself; then as the page loads, it calls the server, passes the content of the webpage to the server, [...]

TweetSo I bought one of those trendy iPhone’s — and I signed up for a huge plan with AT&T, and I also signed up for their data plan [so I can connect my laptop when I'm anywhere -- visiting my Dad, at a conference, at the airport, etc]. I’m now finding out first-hand about the [...]

Read more on "IDEA #81 – iPhone Photo Plus [iPhone SDK application]" »

TweetThe iPhone’s camera is pretty “blah”. I’d love to see an app on the iPhone that allows me to do a bit of a “zoom” [even if it is fake and just manipulating what I see], simple “cropping” (using the touch screen to zoom) in the photo gallery (because I may want to send an [...]

Twitter Syntax for Twitter Bots

Read more on "Twitter Syntax for Twitter Bots" »

TweetFred Wilson just featured a twitter bot for stock quotes. I was also just chatting with Andrew Parker (Fred’s associate) at USV about Twitter syntax. I think we came up with a pretty good idea for it — although needs to be panned out likely. I’ve mentioned my thoughts on this topic in July 2007 [...]

CNET is best acquirer of Digg

Read more on "CNET is best acquirer of Digg" »

TweetDigg would fit into CNET; especially with CNET seemingly trimming the fat and trying to get back to a core business model — which I believe is back to becoming something in the Tech world. But the only way Digg users wouldn’t revolt this, is if Kevin Rose had some hard stipulations — here are [...]

Gmail Spam Out of Control – 1kb zip attachments escape Spam filters

Read more on "Gmail Spam Out of Control – 1kb zip attachments escape Spam filters" »

TweetI think those spammers have found a bug to get spam through Gmail’s filters — attach a 1kb zip file and boom, they get through. And I can’t stand it. I think I might have to go back to SpamArrest soon. The reason I think it’s pointless to start a new email address is that [...]

F YouTube, Viddler Is The Sh*t!

Read more on "F YouTube, Viddler Is The Sh*t!" »

TweetSeriously, the thing I think is the coolest ever is what Viddler has done with their videos — users can add comments throughout a video. It’s interesting to watch a video and see all the user comments pop-up as commentary throughout the video. Here is one by the lovely iJustine.  And then the video page [...]
