I think I have a better idea

POSTED BY Jim Stroud on Apr 2 under Uncategorized

When I began this site, I had more ideas than time. (Know what I mean?) I am going to step back for a bit, reevaluate a few items and then relaunch this site in a new direction. It will still be more tech focused, but it will be produced moreso on a weekly basis so as to allow me more time to breathe. You’ll understand what I mean very soon.

Until then… I will e’ you later.

Flickr will begin hosting video in April 2008

POSTED BY Jim Stroud on Mar 16 under Technology, socialmedia

If you are a fan of Flickr, a very cool site used for sharing photos, then you might raise your eyebrows when you read this quote from Dan Farber, a blogger over at CNet.

After spending a few hours at the Flickr fourth anniversary party in San Francisco on Saturday night, the “coming soon” line was uttered by various Yahoo people, including Flickr co-founder Stewart Butterfield. Upon further investigation, it appears that “coming soon” means that Flickr Video will debut in beta next month.

SWEET! I wonder what this means for YouTube? Oh, let the speculation begin.

Wow! I just read an article about an EXTREMELY popular video that has catapulted to the top of YouTube’s video charts. Its called “My Hot Hot Sex by the Brazilian electro band Cansei De Ser Sexy.” Here are some of their stats to date…

In One Year:

Check out the video below!

Are you impressed by the band? Were you one of their screaming fans? Probably not. As a matter of fact, the views on this video were so high that YouTube began to smell a rat and wondered if somebody was hacking the system. The speculation now is that this video happenned to be in the right place and seen by the right people at the right time. For the full scoop, read Numbers don’t tally for clip.

How to get the lowest price for anything you buy online

POSTED BY Jim Stroud on Mar 7 under Business, Cool

Wow! Now this is a useful website - Price ! Pinx

pricepinx

PricePinx helps you save money by monitoring the price of items you find online. If it becomes cheaper on that site (or found to be cheaper on another website), Price Pinx sends you notification by email. So simple, its genius. I will be trying this out soon, so be on the lookout for additional feedback.

Below is a screenshot of Price Pinx in action. The arrow is pointing to a Digital Tablet that was found online for $489.99 somwhere online. Well, PricePinx is showing us that it found the same item on Amazon for $50.04 less! Hey, every penny counts.

If you scroll down the front page of Price Pinx, you’ll see other examples like the one I pointed out.
