My love hate relationship with Craigslist

I have mixed feelings about craigslist.  On the one hand, i love the informality of it.  I love being able to post stuff for free, and take it off whenever i feel like it.  Unlike ebay, i don’t have to worry about fees, or shipping anything as soon as the item sells.  I guess i’m [...]

LinkedIn

I heard about LinkedIn a while ago, but never seriously considered joining.  A few weeks ago, I “joined the network” and started playing around.  The first thing I did was gather together as many business cards as I could from my desk drawers and start sending out invitations.  After only a few days, I had [...]

Is Linked In all it’s linked up to be?

Linked In has three times the number of registered users than any other professional networking site on the Internet. But do these numbers automatically mean that Linked In provides a better service than the next networking site? I have read several reviews on the value of the website.

Corporate America, join the conversation or you lose.

Recently, I wrote two posts, one on FriendFeed the other on PicLens. Just for kicks I decided to let the companies know that I liked their product/service (…proservductice?) and I had written a post about them. I wasn’t expecting a shoutout on their blog or being added to some list, I just wanted to let [...]

Apple iPhone 3G
It would be helpful to have some actual information “from the source” rather than a bunch of analysts telling us it will be here in June. For that matter, now the rumor mill has a specific date - June 9. Come on guys quit reporting rumors and stick to reporting what [...]
