    Media coverage and sales of Papermill have already far exceeded my expectations and I can’t envision either increasing. With this in mind, it’s easy to conclude that the the application, with its current price and need for a subscription, will never generate a profit, especially when costs like fonts still need to be incurred. If…

    Twitter is awsome! 140 characters then STFU!!! I only follow people I know so even if I only check it on the train twice a day I’m still not scrolling more than a couple pages to catch-up. And it only takes a few seconds to read each tweet. If there’s something really interesting I can…

    In this week’s TWiT #243, Kara Swisher of AllThingsD.com talks about how Google has often missed the mark in their social networking because they hold off releasing products form the Labs until they are completely satisfied that it can be automated 100%.

    Anyone know how to get my Google Reader Shared Notes to feed directly into my blog as new posts? Yes I am that lazy! Seriously, I used to keep 27 tabs open in my browser sporadically checking various blogs throughout the day but this became insane and FireFox v2 would often just give and die…

    A good friend and fellow techie, Steve McGurn,  has done the unthinkable and declared amnesty on his social networking profiles. I know this will sound insane coming from a WEB2.0 evangelist such as me, but he’s right. The idea of all these networks sounds great. Find old school chums on Facebook, keep up to date…
