Flipboard | personalized social magazine

Posted on August 9th, 2010 • Filed under Uncategorized • 9 Comments

I finally had a moment to download, install and test drive Flipboard on my iPad. I am speechless. It’s another one of these “woah-I-am-touching-the-future-moments”. Here’s a video explaining what Flipboard does:

A big giant yay to the team over at Flipboard. Design and Usability is topnotch. Realizing that this is the first version of the app, I can only *imagine* what the future versions are going to look like. What an impressive first start.

Also, I am superexcited to see that talented Maria Popova’s blog is featured as one of the recommended feeds. Go Brainpickings!

Ruder Finn Intent Index – Intent-Driven Social Media

Posted on August 12th, 2009 • Filed under Uncategorized • 1 Comment

Three out of five Americans go online to influence the opinion of other people, and twice as many to socialize than to shop. I suppose that speaks a lot about the intent of folks participating online whether it’s Twitter, blog commenting, sharing with Digg or shopping on Amazon. So with that, the folks at Public Relations firm Ruder Finn bring us the Intent Index. Now we know why we do what we do and it’s all presented to us in a pretty Flash interface.

Lazy Ass Blogging

Posted on April 10th, 2009 • Filed under Uncategorized • No Comments

That’s right…lazy. But I don’t think of lazy as a bad thing – it’s a good thing when it’s in the context of working smarter. So with that excuse in mind, I’ve installed Zemanta. I haven’t grasped all of it’s super hero powers yet. In fact this post is a trial run for Zemanta to see what it will do for me.

So far I love the ability to suggest images based on what I am writing, while I am writing. Next, I may see what it does when I plug something on Amazon.com.
