I do not, as of yet, own an iPhone. However, soon my cellphone provider will be unlocking the door, shooing away the rats, taking off my shackles and releasing me from my contract. At that point I will be buying an iPhone. Not because it's a shiny new Jobs-job, not because several of my friends have it and keep waving it at me, but because I clearly need it. I require its functionality for such ...

Right now, my friends are not subjected to photos of every "witty" stop sign annotation I encounter. In fact, they can actually hang out with me with no fear of showing up in my Flickr stream with basil in their teeth.Right now, I do not post to Twitter every time I see a dachshund.

If you use Google Reader as your online RSS reader, you're no doubt familiar with the ability to share an item to your shared link blog. For example, mine can be found here.Earlier this year, the Reader team added the ability to post a "Note" to your share items. The idea of Google Reader Notes is that you introduce friends who subscribe to your link blog to the story you've shared, explaining why you found ...

In theory, a Google Reader shared item, as it gets reshared from person to person, could be as viral as the old-school offline chain letter, with the most-recent recipient having absolutely no connection to the original sharer, except for the connection path. Sharing test by Louis Gray...

This column is about a new chat system called Talkinator, which I find very exciting, but to do it justice first I have to cover some of the emerging -- but not often recognized -- realities of Web 2.0 that make a Talkinator even possible. Bill Gates used to worry about Microsoft losing its monopoly overnight because of a technical mistake. We all laughed. We laughed because Microsoft had such financial and sales clout and ...

Mailinator is a great service. I did not know that it is done by just a single person. Talkinator serves a different need than Mailinator but I will try it too.

Great article. You would think most Web 2.0 startups don't have a business model. Their first aim is to solve a problem, then get as many users as possible, then worry about the business model later. Why not? Google did this, seems to work well too... Don't you think?

Guest Post By Jesse Stay of Stay N' Alive (Twitter/FriendFeed)I'm noticing a trend lately which started several months ago, and I couldn't quite pinpoint what was causing it. It seemed as though many of my friends and others that I esteemed as good bloggers were getting tired, and were posting much less frequently, or not at all. Many of these people were part of the reason I became an entrepreneur and it was disappointing to ...

I am a strong believer in the power of linking between blogs, and I still go out of my way to link, especially to peers, to smaller blogs, and to developers of services I write about. At one time, I thought being linked to by the most prominent bloggers could have a significant impact on my traffic. And for a short time, it did. But now, I've seen traffic from other blogs to be driving ...

Posted by Stephen Chau, Product ManagerToday marks the beginning of one of my favorite summer events: the Tour de France. I'm always amazed when I hear about the long, steep climbs through mountains or the blistering speeds of the cyclists as they pass through the French countryside. But since most of us can't head over there to watch it in person, we're giving you the next best thing: Street View of the 2008 Tour de ...

For nearly eight decades, the old factory in SoHo languished, inhabited mostly by ghosts of the past and centuries’ worth of paper and hardware. Then the ultra-chic Jil Sander arrived.
