Twitter – 140 characters of what exactly?
5 months ago I wrote Should I use twitter? in which I said that I used twitter for a while, did not find it useful and deleted my account. I also said I cannot understand how stuff like twitter gets any form of funding. The idea behind twitter is simple, but not in the sense …
iPad and books
I am an avid reader both of traditional books and online content. So anything which would make it possible to read books in electronic format as comfortable as the dead tree version has my attention. Thus, when Amazon launched Kindle I became a fan instantly. One of the main reasons being e-ink technology, which makes …
Google Buzz – Privacy and Assumptions
A couple of days ago Google started rolling out Buzz. The process was more akin to steamrolling over Gmail users with Buzz.
