It just became a lot easier to find custom Google Maps that users have created. A quick click of the "Show Search Options" and selecting User-created content will give you a list of custom maps created by Google's users along...
What should you do when someone: comments anonymously to your blog under a made up email address from a Kinko's store on a post that's more than a year old where they hypocritically decide to attack someone you happen...

When was the last time you: 1. Watched a friend buy a newspaper so he could browse the classifieds? 2. Heard a land-line phone ring at a friend's house? 3. Heard a dial-up modem connect? 4. Watched someone go to...

I'm having a hard time getting worked up about digital watermarking. The most annoying thing about music with DRM "protection" was that it made it tougher to play on the device of your choice. With watermarking, a song purchased from...

Graeme Thickens has compiled an exhaustive list of every company that's scheduled to present at DEMO 2008 with links to the company sites (which may or may not have much to say yet). There are tons of interesting new companies...

Matt. Which Matt? Any Matt. You probably didn't realize this, but you could have owned the domain name ma.tt. As in ma.com except for Trinidad & Tobago, so it's ma.tt. Had you known this, would you have done it? What...
Anyone who've following the evolution of Google Maps Mashups for a while is probably familiar with the first one to really prove what could be done with the technology: Chicago Crime. The man behind that site, Adrian Holovaty, has since...

Brian McConnell's recent post about the history of social networks over at GigaOm was a great summary of where we've come from with a few insights into where we may be going that are worth paying attention to. One projection...
As much as I'd like to believe that our RSS feed subscriber stats suddenly jumped from the 3,000 to 8,000 range, it looks like the real cause is an issue with the data FeedBlitz is sending to FeedBurner. Notice the...
