We have a problem. That problem is the current state of our blogosphere. It’s in complete shambles. Unfortunately, I’m well aware of what causes this problem and it’s not easily fixable. The cause of the problem is the need for visitors and pageviews, which both translate into money. Don’t get me wrong – making money [...]
As anyone who follows my articles knows, Google Apps is one of my favorite Google products. The other day, I logged into my webmail for my personal domain (hosted on Google Apps), and was pleasantly surprised to see a new feature; the Priority Inbox. While simple enough in concept, the “priority inbox” seems like a pretty promising addition to Gooogle Apps.
As you can probably guess, the priority inbox creates a secondary inbox within the Google Apps webmail interface. And, based on your reading trends, the Priority Inbox will automatically sort through your email and try to determine which messages are of priority, and thus what is pressing for your attention. I’ll be the first to admit that the sorting was far from accurate for the first couple of days, but as time has progressed, Priority Inbox has become strikingly accurate in determining which of my incoming emails are of high importance.
I just ordered the brand new Apple TV. But I guess the question is why? Why did I order it? It wasn’t the inner-fanboy, like some may argue took over when I ordered the Magic Trackpad. This purchase actually bridges a gap in my media consumption experience. For the longest time, I haven’t been able to find the bridge to connect my computer and TV in a way which made sense (for me). The way I currently watch TV/Movies is sitting at my computer with the content playing on my 30″ Apple Cinema display.
It works, but it’s not ideal. Instead I’d like to sit on my couch and watch on my 42″ LG LCD TV. The previous Apple TV would have allowed me to do that but I wasn’t willing to shell out $229 for it. However, an Apple TV with a $99 price point I am willing to purchase. And so I did. It also makes perfect sense for someone such as myself to buy an Apple TV over lets say a DVR (which I almost did).
Kevin Rose is in a tough position right now. Digg version 4 has been officially released to everyone. One might say that the problem is many people are upset with the changes and while that is true, I think the problem really stems at the fact the Digg’s core user base is comprised of geeks [...]
I want to share with you one of the web’s best kept secrets. A service so awesome many companies end up paying for it even though it’s completely free. In other words, if you are paying any of these companies who claim to track your brand name online you are most likely being taken advantage [...]
We need to kill the Windows Installer. More specifically, Microsoft needs to kill it. Why? Because it’s a poor method of installing software. Alternative operating systems to Windows such as Mac OS X and every Linux distribution do software installations the right way. What makes their method for installing software the “right way” you ask? [...]
Last week, Facebook announced Facebook Places, I’m going to spare you the details of what Places actually is because I’m sure you have read about it elsewhere. Instead I’m going to discuss how bad of an idea it was for these companies to have partnered with Facebook for their Places product. Who exactly partnered with [...]

The Droid 2 is Motorola’s second release of the popular (original) Droid. The newer Droid 2 sports several improvements both hardware and software wise. As I previously wrote about in my 5 reasons to buy the Droid 2, I covered mostly software aspects. In terms of noticeable hardware improvements, the Droid 2 sports a 1Ghz [...]
As I’ve recently written about here on BestTechie, I recently went through the process of migrating my office’s company website to the WordPress content management platform. While I was a bit naive about the whole process at first, I will say, I am definitely glad that I took the plunge. In my article, I explained [...]

We’ve all been there. You’re looking up a set of directions, a tutorial, or some form of information on the Internet, only to find that the site that Google returns as a result is down. In many cases, finding another set of directions or another site with the same information is a simple task, but [...]
For a while now, I have been a loyal BlackBerry user. Being the original “smart-phone”, the BlackBerry has gained an excellent reputation in the business field over the last eleven years. With mobile email, SMS and media messaging, and mobile Internet, the BlackBerry was the first device to be considered a “mobile communications device” as [...]
