Is Google Reader Starting To Bore You? Switch To Feedly!June 19

rss2 I’m guilty of cheating on Google Reader with Feedly. I can’t help it. Feedly is practically everything I could want in a feed reader (waiting on Google Chrome support and/or a Feedly Adobe Air app). From the team behind it to the application itself, Feedly is an amazing web-based RSS Reader! What separates it from other RSS readers on the desktop and the web is the peace of mind that Feedly provides when it comes to consuming content from the blogs I subscribe to.

 

Wait, did she just say peace of mind? Get real, right? I am! First, let me state that I love sharing stuff in Google Reader. Since I can’t blog a response to every article that I enjoyed or leave a comment on all of them, I can press Shift + S and share it. My Google Reader Shared Items is my way of saying thanks.

 

Lately, Google Reader has become more like a torture device. I’m not alone in this thinking either. It’s a never ending cycle of (1000+) unread items, after only 30 minutes of clicking “mark all as read”. Here’s the real problem: it’s not all about the numbers. Whil

Zensify Preview For The iPhoneJune 3

This is a guest post by Chris Rogers (@RogersDC), who has spent 15 years in IT, long enough to see science fiction become reality through the innovation of two web booms. Fascinated with the successful development of software and online applications into viable businesses, Chris spends large amounts of "free" time identifying successful examples.

 

zensify_logo Zensify brought a new application to the iPhone today:  an integrated, (mostly) stable, and relatively light client for social networks and media.  It effectively combines streams from some of the top social applications in several categories and adds an addictive twist of its own.

   

Zensify:  Not just for Twitter

It’s tempting to look at Zensify as just another Twitter client on the iPhone, but you’d be underestimating it. Twitter and the iPhone were made for each other: the iPhone’s screen is just the right size for a single tweet and the iPhone keyboard. This is probably why there are so man

How To Make It Into My Inbox Without Getting Marked As SpamMay 19

stumbleupon logo A few days ago while doing some cleanup on my StumbleUpon profile, I opted in for StumbleUpon to email me recommendations. StumbleUpon is great for finding articles, sites, and all sorts of neat things across the web. However, I’m getting to a point where I submit content to StumbleUpon for others to discover, but I don’t have enough time to see what others in the community are stumbling. Since I use the service often and find value in it, I opted into being emailed recommendations.
   

Today, I received my first StumbleUpon recommendation email. The email consisted of about 4 rows of recommended sites and 2 rows of the popular sites of the week on StumbleUpon. While visually appealing, overall I was disappointed in what I received.
