So I read on techcrunch.com that delicio.us 2.0 launched. Apparently the new site is: 1. faster 2. easier to learn with an 3. updated, simpler interface. Awesome!
I took a trip over to the site, and indeed the UI is updated and simple. But something about it looked VAAAAAUGELY familiar. And it hit me.

Hey, Cuil. Got glasses?
So FriendFeed, has been buzzing about Cuil, a new search engine founded by two ex-Google employees, and some random guy. Cuil claims to have more than 120 billion pages in the index. Apparently, that’s “three times as many as Google and ten times as many as Microsoft.”
Wow. That’s a pretty bold statement.
I had no [...]

The main advantage to Windows for me, is that I am familiar with maintenance. I go straight into registry files, poke, shift, and delete stuff – confident my actions will not interfere with my PC’s innards. I know Windows. OS X is a whoooole different story. Everything is so simple, but that’s what scares me. [...]

So, like… I was at the supermarket earlier – and in the dairy section, a question suddenly popped into my mind: why are there so many different eggs???
And where do they come from???
Which totally made my imagination take off. In my mind….

I’m seeing Facebook announces “Great Apps”, “new tools” stories everywhere and I can’t be the only who doesn’t care about it… am I? Actually, the first thought that came to mind was do.not.want. I don’t know about you, but I’ve yet to come across an application I would actually log into Facebook for.
Seriously.. how [...]

I wanted to see if Knol had a Wikipedia page – and sure enough, it did:
Check this out (highlighted):
Several experts see Knol as Google’s attempt to compete with Wikipedia.[6]
“attempt to compete” – and it’s referenced haha. Correct me if I’m wrong but I went on Knol to look for Wiki, but they didn’t have one. [...]

Google’s Wikipedia equivalent, Knol, launched today (see the announcement on their blog) Of course, I went to see it. I mean… it’s Google? Why wouldn’t I? Annnnd here’s what I found:

My first impression? Baffled. Seriously. “Where do I start?”
So I clicked on a featured article, “How to Unclog Toilets”, and was pleasantly [...]

So I’ve been looking to somehow put my Twitter -or would it be Tweets?..whatever, who cares- into my WordPress. I randomly came across Tweetsnap and didn’t see it on Twitter’s pbwiki so I decided to share. At first I thought it was a screen capping app but turns out it’s a widget. See? (points below)
Basically [...]

Alright, call me ignorant, naive, dumb, blind, retarded, or whatever name you choose fit but seriously. What is Techmeme and why am I getting IM’s and phone calls telling me to wake up, log into my blog, and double check my grammar?

Do you remember sending and receiving Christmas, Valentine’s, or Easter cards in elementary school?
I remember it clearly. Every holiday I gave each and every single kid in the class a card (well it was mandated but it’s the thought that counts, right?) But I always gave special ones to my best friends and they would [...]

I never want to relive high school, but at times, Friend Feed sure as heck feels like it.
Unlike Myspace or Facebook, where approval is needed to become ‘friends’, FriendFeed is more Twitter-esque, where people subscribe to you and you choose to subscribe back to them or not. Which seems pretty.. simple? But in actuality is [...]

What is this, a cult???
So about a month ago, I started actively participating in a Social Networking Site called FriendFeed, and one month later I was re-reminded of the power of the internet. For those unfamiliar with FriendFeed, Louis Gray has concise, easy to read write ups detailing FriendFeed (or FF) and how to get the most out of [...]
