Cats are loved by the Internet, perhaps it is their sassiness, their independence or their purrfect way of getting what they want when they want it. Dogs are pretty awesome too, especially when they pull moves like a cat. Watch how this big dog gets owned by a little puppy. The timing is exceptional and ultra-cute. His slick moves are almost like Jagger, almost. …
I have a confession to make; I am guilty of writing too much when trying to explain something via Skype, or through a chat messaging system. It has been often said “What are you writing a book?” and then I switched to making sure I pressed enter after every few sentence to prevent hearing that again. But it got me thinking, since the original caps on characters began with text messaging we have really shorten how much we truly want to read in a messaging format. Twitter mimicked this behavior by completely tapping into our short attention spans. …
As bloggers we want our written articles to be seen, read and commented on. We want to provoke thought, teach something new, share news-worthy content with our readers and discover trends to connect us through the written word. However, I have noticed that many will publish an article and then walk away and it makes me wonder why, why would you take the time to write something and not use the provided share buttons on the website or blog? (I hope we are past the stage of not having social buttons) Discovery is only a part of the process, yes you added it to relevant categories and ensured there were tags/keywords…
Oh what it would be like to be young again… jumping in bouncy castles, on trampolines and swinging off that gigantic tree in the backyard… Kid’s today are swamped with their schedules from ballet to kick boxing and then off to playing video games; that not too many actually spend the time outdoors doing the things we did as a kid. …
Looking for an awesome DIY project to impress your dorm mates? Or throw a killer party for the first weekend in University; this is how you can do it in style. …
It seemed to me that Twitter was the quiet social network of the bunch, never openly in hot water like Facebook or causing chatters about its ability to be social like G+. They were much like the kid who sat in the back of the class letting everyone else do all the talking (perhaps this should have been a sign). …
Tis’ true my friends, hipsters and photographers of the world, soon we will be able to use a tiny camera that mimics the photo-sharing social sites logo and of course in retro style it will be a Polaroid instant camera. Although the only resemblance to the Polaroid will be the insta-picture since this is 2012 and we like things a little more digitized. There will be a screen to view the picture prior to taking the shot yet the Polaroid picture will look like it is seen on Instagram with your instagram name and avatar and enabling you the ability to add a personal touch at the bottom (put your permanent…
I could go on for days about the Facebook app, but since their latest update the app has been less annoying and that means less time spent on waiting for it to load, so I seriously can’t complain right now. However, there is one thing I wish would change about the Google Plus app. I enjoy G+ although it has caused many discussions about its social capabilities and whether it is a ghost town or not, truth is, it is a great social site and with Google’s SEO the two will be the future. With that said, I enjoy the most recent update to G+ that happened a few months back; its flipboard like feature, the easy abilities…
If you love to voice chat on your PC or Mac using Skype or load up your YouTube channel with some great video you need a microphone that goes beyond the mic that comes built-in on your computer. Many spend a lot on clunky professional microphones that don’t let you remain as mobile as you would like to be. This Tiki USB Microphone is not only cute and stylish it is also user friendly. Ditch the chords and the microphone stands for the very first microphone that you can connect via a USB and one that uses technology to only pick up desired sounds. …
It seems like summer is getting hotter each year, so much so that ceiling fans and fan stands just don’t do the trick anymore and though fans are more ideal than the electricity bill that comes with the cooling of an air conditioner we want choices. …
Designing for an audience can be tough, especially when time spent online is moving heavily to mobile. You need to know whether your created design is going to work for you or not and it is crucial within the design process especially if it is intended for an audience. You spend enough money trying to turn your dreams into a reality that any help to ensure your design launches flawlessly on a mobile device is critical, the last thing you need is to have your web page or application flunk when launched on a mobile device. …
Since you are now able to see who has seen your chat messages when you send out that chat box to pop up, not everyone wants anyone to contact them all the time. Some days we are more social than others and we don’t want to always chat even when we have our chat messages set to “online”. Whether you don’t want people to think you are always ignoring them or if you just want to chat with certain people on Facebook, now you can. All you have to do is login to your Facebook Profile and open your chat box located on the lower right-hand corner of the window. Click on the settings icon and choose “Advance Settings”…
