I admitted it was a good service, my commentary was focused on why I don't use it, and the reason is it isn't different enough to break my habit. I have been told many times that you can't build a business to compete with the major players

This is spot on. I was a "band geek", more specifically an "orchestra dork", in high school, and a computer science nerd as well. Not exactly the most popular combination. My attitude in high school was mostly not caring about being popular

Most intensive development is a bother in Windows. When I started learning ruby on rails I had to go through cygwin(a command line simulation program) to be able to follow along with the tutorials. There are lots of bugs, and since Macs are

While facebook and twitter may not be intended to "save" the world you'd have to be naive to not admit they have definitely changed the world. You have no idea what the founders intentions were when they started either. To interconnect peop

companies pay millions of dollars for a spot in the superbowl to reach customers and they aren't able to quantify them, and obviously million dollar spots on tv aren't for every business. But, like Groupon, that isn't to say they don't bene

I'm curious to see what effect this has on companies like Square, who seem to have been leapfrogged a bit. But I guess since square's main offering is as a point-of-sale credit-card swiper, I suppose there is a way they can change their pro
