Twitterfone, Simply Perfection

Twitterfone is a new service that let’s you send Twitter updates through speech recognition. You dial a number, record your tweet and hang up. It’s that simple.

My headline is a bold statement but allow me to explain why I believe that Twitterfone might in fact be a perfect application service:

It works. I have […]

Amazon Kindle or Bezos’ Windmill?

Amazon is highlighting the fact that Kindles are available for immediate shipment following long delays following unprecedented early demand. That Amazon is devoting the choicest real estate on their site to the Kindle, as well as publishing their shareholder letter, underscore the commitment that Amazon is making to this device.

I’ve been watching the Kindle with […]

LED Lighting

I like home LED lighting but only for very specific applications, like counter lighting and for cabinets. The diffusion and color temperature of these lights is odd and they don’t get better as they warm up, like CFLs do. While this development is welcome, the chief business development guy just gave me an excuse to […]

Alert Thingy Killed Facebook

Just like Thwirl and Snitter totally changed the way I interact with Twitter and drove up my usage as a result, Alert Thingy is doing that for FriendFeed.

As Dennis says, who btw I ripped off the title for this post from, the result is that I am evolving in my behaviors with social networks at […]

Information Wants to be Syndicated

Bloomberg doesn’t offer RSS feeds. While I’m not aware of the official story on this, when I was in NYC a few weeks ago I asked them about it and they basically said they don’t want people consuming their content on non-Bloomberg sites. Okay, I think that’s wrong but it’s their content so they can […]

The Office Telephone, 1875-2008

I have an office in Denver, told IT to not bother putting a phone in it… the number just forwards to my mobile phone so why not just use my mobile number all the time. The interesting thing I noticed is that the direct office line rarely got called anyway. I don’t think we are […]

I Have Seen The Future and It Works

Broadcasters should be very afraid.

I’ve watched the quality of streaming video increase substantially in recent years and with the advent of exciting new technologies like Silverlight it is not beyond speculation to suggest that with the barriers lowering for new entrants to create and distribute compelling online video content and user experience that we will […]

“Interesting, but of no commercial value”

JP makes a number of very good arguments in his post. Principal takeaway for me was the reaffirmation that when you are creating something entirely new, it’s futile to look for something that is being displaced as a measure of ROI.

As it relates to social networks, I made a couple of comments over email recently […]

OpenID Talk

Johannes Ernst is moderating a panel on OpenID that should be interesting, if for no other reason than Yahoo will be on it and talking about their embrace of OpenID. I wish I could go but I will be in Denver on the 29th.

40 Hour Laptop Batteries

I guess that whole non-replaceable MacBook Air battery issue kind of goes away with this development.
