A Look at Microsoft Office Alternatives

I ran accrossed a pretty nice article on switching away from Microsoft Office in business at Network Computing. It discusses some of the free options that I recommended before from Open Office . The discussion is an interesting look into the problems with switching over, but really gives you a great breakdown of the importance [...]

DiggClick WordPress Plugin

The DiggClick Plugin is another great traffic tool available to WordPress users. It displays the icon at the top of this post that allows readers to easily submit and vote on your articles. The options in the set up pages are simple to use and are pretty self explanatory. I didn’t even have to make [...]

Social Bookmarking WordPress Plugin

If you look at the bottom of all my posts you will se a bunch of icons. Places like Technorati, Digg, and Reddit. Those buttons are there so that when a reader is looking at your blog they can click them and either rate your post if it has been submitted, or simply submit them [...]

WordPress Random Link Button

I’ve been using this for a few weeks now on one of my other sites, Internet Serious Business, for the blogs I have on my buddy list. You can see the link over on the sidebar there and test it out as it works very well. The plugin itself contains a few images you can [...]

ChaCha Search More Fun for Pranksters than Searchers

A few months back I decided that I would sign up as a Search Guide for ChaCha simply to see what they had to offer searchers and get a bit of an inside look at the inner workings of the application. The concept is that “experts” in certain topics will be guides to those of [...]

Ok…this is great that someone is trying to build a better search engine, but does anyone really believe that Google is going away anytime soon? I use Google almost exclusively for searching the web for what I need. No one else even compares to it in my eyes. They already have the stranglehold on the [...]

Getting close to buying a Playstation 3

I won’t lie. I’m still pretty much a Sony fanboy and really want to just go with the Playstation 3 and call it a day. Have been very close to just picking up an XBox 360 a few times just so I could get Gears of War, but I’m still pretty far behind in last [...]

YouTube, Facebook Spark Copycats, Bubble Fear in Silicon Valley

The Tech Bubble that broke in 2000 was catastrophic. Remember that NASDAQ sitting over 5000 and anyone tha thad a trading account making a mint in the market? A lot fo those people got smeared when the bubble burst because they weren’t really in the know. CNBC became an everyday viewing neccessity for many and [...]

Link and Blog Challenge

This website allows bloggers to develop a link network in true SEO fashion. Instead of just linking to any old blog with any old phrase, bloggers are encouraged to link to blogs that have similar topics. Getting links is great, but getting them from common keywords, and relevant blogs is much better. Just from an [...]

Apple, Cisco settle iPhone trademark lawsuit

Gotta love the persistence to get the name and Cisco for taking it to Apple on this issue. Also have to love the future thinking Infogear company that trademarked the name back in 1996. Of course I assume that this is more of a luck thing than someone actually saying that they could probably make [...]
