Instapaper for iPad and iPhone Enhances My Web World

June 1, 2010 By Stephen Leave a Comment

One of my favorite iPad and iPhone apps is Instapaper. Like the iPad itself, Instapaper seems almost foolishly simple and derivative until you experience it. Then it becomes something else entirely: A product so useful you may ask yourself "how did I ever get along without this?" Insta-What? Instapaper is a mash-up of social web bookmarking, readability and reformatting, and … [Read more...] about Instapaper for iPad and iPhone Enhances My Web World

Google’s Evil Buzz Is Building

February 12, 2010 By Stephen 1 Comment

Twitter Loses Control Of Twitter

May 13, 2009 By Stephen 14 Comments

Yesterday afternoon, Twitter made what they called a "small settings update" to their eponymous service. Who cares? That title fooled me, too, but let me tell you, everyone cared. Within hours, this change spread across the worlds of bloggers and micro-bloggers alike. And less than 24 hours after announcing the change, Twitter's founder, Biz Stone, was forced to admit that … [Read more...] about Twitter Loses Control Of Twitter
