E-Tech

Have you seen this? I reserved my number. Think about it--one phone number, web-based access to voice mail....it makes a lot of sense.

Didja hear the one about Google becoming more open than Facebook? The fact that this effort is supposedly based around Orkut makes no sense to me, given that Orkut really hasn't caught on anywhere but Brazil and India. If you feel as confused as I did reading the main post, scroll down to the comments. Lots of expansion on this idea and thoughts on how Google could (or couldn't) make it work after all.

Twitterpated No More. Roy Tennant explains why he has (mostly) ditched Twitter. I have too. I agree with him that it does have utility at conferences or other big meetings where you're trying to keep track of multiple people and events. Otherwise, I wasn't very surprised by how quickly the Twitter bubble burst.
