Crawl before you … search

Posted July 3rd, 2008 by David

Google said Monday that it’s super-spider has learned to crawl Flash.
A) Developers might want to pay a little bit more attention to their object names. Cutesy pet names for stubborn buttons could become a little more obvious.
B) Suddenly Flash isn’t such a bad thing for search results.

What About Grandma?

Posted July 3rd, 2008 by jen

At family parties when I was younger, all the cousins would squabble for possession over whatever gaming console was in the house. While the boys would spend most the afternoon playing Golden Eye, the girls would be fighting to play the greatest, best video game God has ever given man on the face of the […]

Tech Procrastination

Posted July 3rd, 2008 by Amanda

I have heard of early adopters to technology and late adopters to technology. I propose another class of people like me: tech procrastinators. We buy the gadgets, read the instructions, but then can’t be bothered to actually figure out and use these gadgets properly. I would argue that generally, it takes someone else to push […]

Supporting your fans’ habits

Posted July 1st, 2008 by David

John Mayer launched his new tour site today with an awesome networking and collaboration component demonstrating a musician truly connected with his fans.
Similar to the way Barack Obama’s site localizes content for users based on their location, Mayer’s site includes a show page for each night of his tour. Within that page (here’s one) exists […]

JCPenney’s teen sex ad drama

Posted June 24th, 2008 by David

[After reflecting on the headline, this blog post should exponentially boost MediaPost’s search result numbers!]
The blogosphere is buzzing about that racy, apparently mocked JCPenney ad hinting to teenage sex.
So what?
I don’t have an issue with the ad subject, although frankly I think it’s a bit weak. It’s clearly sexual in nature. Yes, teens […]

This Just In

Posted June 20th, 2008 by kyleen

Everyone once in a while, I like to go to Perez Hilton’s website. By every once in a while, I mean after I check my e-mail. I know these celebrity gossip sites are bad. However, I’m always in a mood for a good laugh.
Perez introduced a new feature, “Gossip on […]

Top of my wish list: Usable mobile banking

Posted June 20th, 2008 by Amanda

It’s no big secret that college students are typically short on money. Even the most responsible among us forget to note daily trips to coffee shops, or fail to write in exact amounts of our bi-monthly checks. One of the things we generally do spend money on: tech gadgets.
It has become glaringly apparent in […]

You may know me!

Posted June 20th, 2008 by David

My first item in my Facebook News Feed today:
[Name Removed] just joined Facebook.
You both lived in Muncie. If you know [first name removed], perhaps you should add [first name removed] as a friend. See more people you may know.

I was amused with the “People you may know” feature as a small function in the right […]

Women are sports enthusiasts (and experts) too

Posted June 20th, 2008 by jen

Do you think ESPN considers me in their target demographic? Doubtful.
I live in a house of women who throw football parties, fight over Sox vs. Cubs, Colts vs. Bears, and spent most of our 22 years traveling to games…that we actually played in. This should come as no surprise considering the number of women participating […]

Firefox 3 arrives

Posted June 17th, 2008 by David

Amid a storm of Twitter messages this afternoon I learned that Firefox 3 was released. With the release comes an attempt at setting a world record for downloads in a 24-hour span. Ars Technica reports.
Nerdy as I am, I rushed to the download site upon seeing the proclamations of “Firefox 3 is here!” on Twitter. […]
