Walmart $1,000 Gift Card

Maybe you’ve read some of the stories this past week about how FriendFeed’s traffic is way down following their sale to Facebook .

But to anyone who has meaningfully used the site since its inception, you probably didn’t needs stats to tell you what should be obvious: FriendFeed has turned into a ghost town. One of the most compelling things about FriendFeed has always been just how easy it was to have a conversation on the site. Someone posted an item, and within seconds, many had …

Russian Commuters Treated to Free Roadside Pornography

Stealthy Knowmore Loads Up On Talent To Silence The Social Noise Problem
Fundamentally, what I liked about FriendFeed was that it gave me a way to take all kinds of social data and create a tailored way to view it . And though the idea never took off in the mainstream before their acquisition by Facebook, the desire for a service that can do this, remains. Despite their efforts, Facebook hasn’t solved this yet....

FriendFeed Goes Down Hard. Both Remaining Users Pissed.
FriendFeed is down right now. It has been down for the past 30 minutes or so. Sadly, that’s not news anymore. Not because, like Twitter of old, it’s down all the time , but rather, because it seems like no one really uses it anymore . Case in point, it’s been down for over 30 minutes and there are maybe 50 total tweets about...

Do You Wish More Sites Would Apologize When Crashing?
Most of you ( 58 percent in total ) said you would just move on and forgive and forget when the website that you’re visiting needs some downtime or crashes. But if it’s a paid online or service, a majority of you would consider abandoning that service if it kept having issues. I received the following email message from an online retailer...

Motorola DROID accounts for around 25% of all U.S. Android web traffic?
Well, kind of. Our boys at Clicky (awesome site analytics service, by the way) released a report this morning compiled of data from over 150,000 websites which have their tracking code installed. It’s a pretty large sample size, and what they found was that the DROID, less than a week old, already accounts for around 25% of all Android traffic...

What started as kind of a social experiment created just for fun by a 17-year-old Russian whiz kid has turned into an Internet phenomenon. Besides trending on Twitter and even being recognized by a New York Times article, the site has users and nonusers alike buzzing about its sites pros and cons.

Ortery’s $17,000 3D Photocopier
Although 3D printers are all impressive technodoodads in their own right, the Holy Grail of 3D printing is Star Trek: The Next Generation’s futuristic replicator. An item like food or clothing is scanned on a molecular level and saved to disk, and identical clones of that item are then “printed” with a simple voice command.  Read More →

Website of the Day: Filler-Item Finder
You know how great it is when you find exactly the item you were looking for on Amazon, but then realize you only have to spend a tiny more to get free super-saver shipping? You don’t want to overspend, but you also can’t think of anything else that you’d want to buy. This has happened to me many times when the amount I have...
