More on SocialSpark

Saturday, November 10th, 2007

The official release to the public won’t be until January. It’s an application that brings together the functionality of social networking. Instead of just between friends, advertisers can join in the fun. They are able to see blogger’s profiles without even logging in. Bloggers have friends lists, profiles for each of their blogs, and a way for you to see the posts they place on their blogs, sponsored and not.

It’s very web 2.0! You can find out even more from the people who saw it first. Check out Colleen’s post about what SocialSpark entails.

Hakia Search Engine alternative to Google

Tuesday, October 30th, 2007

I am forever frustrated by the way one must search through the internet. Ask has it close to right, but where can I just go to search the way that I think? My buddy Marisa just gave me a clue as to how I can do that.

The hakia Search Engine is still in beta phase, but prides itself on you being able to search the way you think and talk. For instance, if you really want to ask a question, go right ahead. The results may surprise you.

I am going to go play with it a bit more myself. I am rather pleased with them and am going to take full advantage of their Firefox extension.

Review: Technology Goal

Monday, September 10th, 2007

Though relatively new, Technology is well represented in the TechnologyGoal.com blog. Fresh new content is being posted there on a regular basis. The design is easy to navigate, posts well organized. There are plenty of pictures for those of us who just HAVE to see technology, not just read about it. I would bookmark this blog and watch it develop. It promises to be an interesting daily read.

I would like to give this five tacks…but alas I am clumsy and clicked 2. No way to take it back :(

$100 back for iPhone early adopters

Thursday, September 6th, 2007

I was just reading on the Apple website that due to all the complaints, they are reimbursing customers:

…we have decided to offer every iPhone customer who purchased an iPhone from either Apple or AT&T, and who is not receiving a rebate or any other consideration, a $100 store credit towards the purchase of any product at an Apple Retail Store or the Apple Online Store. Details are still being worked out and will be posted on Apples website next week. Stay tuned.

There. I hope they that you early adopters are happy and have learned your lesson. No, but seriously. It actually shows the immense power of collective complaints. Just think. With this new massive power we might even be able to get refunds on stuff that gets messed up outside of warranty.

Really, I am glad that the early adopters get some recompense. It was a mondo price drop and if I were them, I would be complaining to the company, too. I am sure that some people will still be mad, as the credit is only for the store and not on their credit card.
