Hashtags were made for grouping common thoughts together and to aid with search, not to be the sole method of searching a website. Tumblr didn’t know that before, but their new search functionality expands beyond the hashtag and actually modernizes their service beyond many of their competitor
They are coming in at around half of where Facebook started last year and their cash ambitions are smaller, but it’s not exactly chump change in the tech IPO world. Twitter will offer 70 million shares in its initial public offering, and will price them at $17-$20 per share, according to an am
Mistakes happen. Things get hacked. Data can be lost. This tale is, however, a little different. In this case, Box.com helped make the situation fall apart. Let me start by saying that I am a bit of a nut about cloud storage. The ability to store all my data online, automatically sync it, and access
The one shining positive in the world of BlackBerry, their BBM messaging system, is looking mighty suspicious when one takes a closer examination of the reviews that are popping up about the app. Blackberry’s standalone BBM messaging app debuted on Android yesterday, and it has already receive

When the smartphone rush began in 2008, even the most aggressive estimates put feature phones in the lead until at least 2018. Oh, how wrong they were. You would think AT&T is getting close to smartphone saturation. As of the end of the third quarter, three out of every four of its contract cust
Call it what it is. DARPA’s grand challenge to programmer is to build self-healing cyber-security software. If you think about it, self-awareness and the ability to protect itself is essentially what Skynet in the Terminator movie series was all about. This may not end well. Software, heal thy
“Death” is a powerful word to use, but if this bill makes it through, it would essentially put in too much potential pain for anyone to mess with frivolous trolling techniques. That’s not to say that patent trolls would disappear, but they would be so hampered that they would have
They’ve already had plenty of funding, but that doesn’t mean that they won’t shoot even higher. Pinterest is hot and with this money, there may be no stopping them. According to several sources, Pinterest has completed another enormous funding, this time nabbing $225 million with l
For years, we’ve had several choices for top level domains including .com, .net., and .org. Soon, we’ll have many, many more options, but only after the big brands can get their trademarks first. Think .biz, .co, and .mobi were a little weird to see at the end of an Internet address? You
