    Review: iPhone 4

    The iPhone 4 has to be one of the most popular products of the year, up there with the iPad. Today I'm going to both tell you about my buying experience and give you an un-biased review. I woke up at about 5 a.m. the day of the iPhone 4's launch and walked over to my neighborhood Apple Store. As I had already pre-ordered the phone, I didn't expect there to be that long of a line. But boy, was I wrong. By 6:45 ...

Warning: Facebook spam

If one of your friends on Facebook says something on your wall like, “You look funny in this pic” and attaches a link, DO NOT CLICK THE LINK! I’m pretty sure that what happens is that when you click the link your Facebook account will be hacked and your Facebook account will post links like these to other peoples wall. I’m not saying that all the links on Facebook are spam, but still, keep on the lookout.

I know that this post is going to be really short but it’s just to warn you about this.

A Twitter desktop application allows you to use twitter from your desktop without logging on to twitter.com. the Twitter desktop application I have been using for the past few days is called TweetDeck. I have been using TweetDeck for Windows and also TweetDeck for iPhone but I’m just going to focus on the Windows application.

Pros:

  • Lightweight and fast.
  • Notifies you of new tweets of people you follow.
  • Auto update.
  • Supports Facebook.
  • Multiple columns.

Cons:

  • Always opens links in Internet Explorer.
  • I haven’t found a way to customize notification frequency.

My experience with the application:

What I think the best part about TweetDeck is, is that it notifies you of new More >

Twitter or Facebook?

Jul 10th

Which do you use, Facebook or Twitter, or do you use both like I do? Some people love Facebook and some people love twitter.

The difference between Facebook and Twitter is:

  1. Facebook is a lot more complex than twitter for example it has chat, pictures and video, and you can leave comments.
  2. The question of Facebook is “What’s on your mind” whereas twitter’s is “What are you doing?”
  3. It just feels like twitter is just more news friendly. Did you ever notice that?

For me, Facebook is a way for me to stay in touch with my friends and only my friends whereas Twitter helps More >
