How to change your Primary Contact Info on the Droid Incredible

Recently I moved from an iPhone to the Droid Incredible and found that many of the functions that are on the iPhone don’t translate to the Droid Incredible. Changing primary [...]

Microsoft Office is Online with Skydrive

Earlier today I wrote about how Microsoft was going to be competing with Google Docs and then I got an email from Microsoft. Because I’m a Office 2010 Beta user I’ve got access to Office online via something called SkyDrive.
It’s surprisingly good actually. It isn’t as robust as Word the software, but its 95% [...]

Microsoft to bring Office Suite online

According to The Financial Times Microsoft is going to bring Office online like Google has with Google Docs.

It shows real potential customers being duped into opening bank accounts by giving all their information a way [...]

Boom Roasted or practice what you preach

It’s funny, just today I met with an antique/art collection and sales group. I advised them to become the pros online–part of which came with blogging. I told them to talk about what you do, discuss what they know and even record their pieces with some of the history behind it. And yet I [...]

Yahoo Bot Puts Server Down

Thanks b3091029.crawl.yahoo.net. You ruined a potentially wonderful Sunday. After hours of digging around we found out what was demolishing our server–which mean client sites that we host were down too. It seemed that the Yahoo crawler bot was not closing the server connections, which ate up all additional resources on the server.
So as much [...]

Yes, Facebook ads work–if used wisely

I’ve been working on a senatorial campaign for the last few weeks and we have utilized Facebook ads very precisely. We’ve tested many messages and keywords. Geography is key in this strategy and we have utilized so many great features that Facebook offers. For the first week we spent $400 to add fans to the [...]
