Internet

I stumbled across a new feature on Twitter today. It’s a feature that has been long overdue. A spam button! Now you can go to anybody’s profile page and click ‘Report username for spam’. Hopefully this will finally weed out the growing spam problem on Twitter.
You know, while we’re on the subject of Twitter, I [...]

Today I am at home, alone. I’m bored out of my mind. There’s nothing on TV. I have nothing to research on the Internet. I just want to relax and be entertained. If I flip through channels on the TV long enough, I can usually find something, but I want something better. How about flipping [...]

In my dreams, I imagine a web site where I can auction my goods off without being gouged to death. I imagine a site with more flexibility when it comes to making a purchase. I don’t want to be tied down with using one payment method just because somebody wants to make yet another dollar [...]

For about a month now, Pingoat has been down. The site says:
We’re currently doing system maintenance. Come back later.
So many people are searching for a replacement. A good one seems to be PingOMatic. Though it seems to fail a bit, it seems to be the best option though. Also try AutoPinger or PingMyBlog if you [...]

I came across a few articles about this new search engine that was created by former Google engineers. It’s called Cuil, and it’s supposedly supposed to revolutionize search. The About page really talks it up about how much more evolved their search engine is over the alternative.

Ebay has clearly lost the vision that got them to be one of the biggest sites on the Internet. [...]

I’m so tired of reading about net neutrality. Every day I see a new article about how Internet providers such as Comcast are going to charge different fees for access to only certain parts of the Internet. It’s the latest in scare tactics. It’s a way to create a buzz and get people riled up.

What happened to eBay? It used to be the main spot to pick up good stuff at a good price. Now it’s more annoying to use than fun. Since becoming a big, evil company though, I slowly used the site less. Now I don’t use it at all. Here’s a few reasons why I don’t [...]

It looks like the days of MySpace being king of the social networking hill are officially over. Many say it’s been over for about a year now, but for the first time, Facebook surpassed MySpace last month in audience reach according to Alexa traffic rankings. People are leaving MySpace for Facebook by the masses, and [...]

I would like to punch the person that made up stumblecards. They annoy my browsing pleasure. They are the infomercial you see while flipping through channels. They are the fly in my soup. They are the insect part in my rice.
The whole point of StumbleUpon is to browse things you might be interested in, not [...]
