You know the saying, “If you build it, they will come”? Well that certainly holds true for GPS functionality and mobile phones. Nearly 48 percent of the mobile app developers surveyed by Boston-based Skyhook Wireless said that location is what “sets their app apart, or is a core component to their app.” And nearly 46 percen (Read More)

One of the major trends I've been irked by at the last few events I have attended is the general lack of blog posts and reactions to panels and keynote speakers. While in years past, one could expect solid reaction stories from attendees, many are instead choosing to "live tweet" the proceedings, or with the right equipment (Read More)

You can now add TweetDeck to the growing army of apps that are joining Facebook Connect. TweetDeck is the most popular desktop client for Twitter, and now it will add Facebook functionality as well. When you send out a message from TweetDeck, you will now have the option to send it to Twitter, Facebook, or both. A new col (Read More)
: Although this is a smart move by Tweetdeck I much prefer the Selective Twitter Status app for Facebook developed by @andyy - see http://bit.ly/19sKcc and it's completely software independent!

The Cloud. We save our data to it, create documents in it, collaborate in it. But coding in the cloud? That has remained a decidedly desktop-centric pursuit. Now, even that may be changing thanks to Bespin, a new prototype from Mozilla Labs. Flaunting thoughtful functionality and bearing an appropriately geeky name (a nod t (Read More)

About time to. Of course this is all because Dan Lyons pontificated in Newsweek – which he also pointed to from his blog – that that there is no money to be made with blogging. Of course his idea of making money is something that probably has to surpass his salary from Newsweek who I am sure gave him the big high five ov (Read More)

A new beta of the hotly praised but seemingly dormant PointUI Windows Mobile shell project is available for download. A quick test leaves us with this tentative verdict: it's awesome. Jason got a pretty serious boner about PointUI Home when he tested the first version early last year, and things have only gotten better. A n (Read More)

I never find much use for LinkedIn except for people trying to contact me -- typically for things I'm not really interested in. I also find that if I ignore LinkedIn for a bit of time it kinda just goe (Read More)
: @VincentWright Yes. Whether it is professional networking or social networking you have to think of what you are getting out of all your hyper activity. This is very true in case of professional networking because every minute we spend there adds to cost like any other resource we use.
: Linkedin has opened me new avenues to connect to key people of my field which otherwise is not possible in Job search sites as I am representing many freelancers who don't have much time to promote their image online. Linkedin has given us front page listings in google searches to our Project Vyas which over a period of time has created recognition and credibility among our local communities as no one else in our town has used Linkedin in such an extensive way. Today many software professionals, project managers, HR people natives of my town settled abroad are trying to connect to me on their own. The secret is stand out in any network whether it is Linkedin or Stumbleupon or Digg. Stay long and consistently.
