January 30, 2007

I haven’t been using a cell phone for very long. For a long time I just didn’t need one. My home phone served its purpose and I wasn’t interested in signing a 2-year contract with anyone. However, it was pretty much inevidable as my life became more demanding. So about a year and a half […]

Cingular becomes at&t again

January 28, 2007

Several years ago, there was AT&T. The mobile phone service provider competition was just kicking off, so AT&T created a sub-company: AT&T Wireless. Just around the corner was Cingular Wireless, a small cell phone provider that was seeing massive growth…

Corperate logos gone web 2.0

The past year we have seen quite a few companies attempt to re-brand themselves. The most notorious is AT&T, or should I say, at&t.

Google and YouTube: BFF

January 25, 2007

When Google announced they were acquiring YouTube for $1.65 billion, everyone had one question on there minds: why? Google already has a flourishing online video service (ala Google Video), so how did they plan to integrate YouTube with their services? Well, we finally have some answers.
Google is all about search and connecting people with information. […]

Wikipedia Links No Longer Useful

January 22, 2007

Wikipedia has always been a gold mine for web developers. Wikipedia serves up massive traffic, and articles usually have a high Google PageRank. So getting linked from a Wikipedia article has been one of the best ways to beef up your site.

However, Wikipedia will no longer be a very effective tool. As of now, all […]
