Now this is a cool idea. I am happy that Facebook is finally making the move to providing its own billing system/currency.

This a very good use of the White Spaces in the broadcast spectrum. Assuming you can prevent interference with the broadcast networks and also the wifi services.

Clearwire adds more subs, cuts losses | Signal Strength - CNET News

My only thought about Clearwire is when will it move into South Carolina area. I could see myself going for 4G instead of my cable modem service. Especially if it would mean I would not need a separate wifi router.

Could Bloom Box revolutionize power industry?

Could Bloom Box revolutionize power industry?

This sounds like a good invention and also sounds familiar to me based on book I once read (although not 100% exactly). It takes air and combines it with fuels and makes clean energy at a lower cost of using those fuel sources. I definitely support this concept.

Current Opinion about VigLink

I definitely like the VigLink service if for no other reason that a better idea of who is visiting my blog and what links are being clicked. My greatest complaint about VigLink is the current lack to interface for VigLink and my Google Apps Sites website.

Admittedly there probably are not enough links on my website to be of use anyways with VigLink. Something I will have to start working on more in the future.

Zynga: No, we're not charging for Farmville | The Social - CNET News

I can see why Farmville is very popular. When I have time I play the game. Zynga has a lot of cool games. I mostly play many of the facebook games by zynga on my iPhone.

This is very believable. I am spending more time twittering and facebooking this year.

Clearwire 4G network

It looks like Clearwire is finally rolling out to the public. So far it does not look like it is in my area though. Check out Clear at http://www.clear.com/

The speed seems to be about the same as my current internet connection.

Slacker Radio

Slacker Radio

I love Slacker Radio. It has introduced me to a lot of different kinds of music that I would not have normally been introduced to in my day to day life.

Why I'm Dropping Google - PCWorld Business Center

I doubt that I could ever leave Google services. I am very happy with how Google has performed. But then again I have from day one only used Google for services and functions that I did not care if things went public or not.

This is good news, I would hate to think of my future car having a computer like the one I have at home.

This sounds like a good way to earn income both for the typo squatters and also Google.

AT&T with a new Android phone called the Backflip

Its great that finally AT&T now has gone Google with the Android OS. Although from the reviews and intros on the backflip, not sure I would switch to that phone from my iPhone.

Please Rob Me: Ethical or not? [poll] | Social Business | ZDNet.com

This article and site does bring up a good question. Although this is why I rarely post anything that I do not want known including my location. I guess paranoia is a good thing in this case. Trust no one. Either way I think I will now use "Please Rob Me" just to make sure I am keeping track of my own mistakes.

VigLink

VigLink I have joined VigLink and currently now use it with my business blog. It should be interesting to see if this will be helpful in assisting my earnings from various affiliate programs.

FCC wants 260 million people on 100Mbps broadband by 2020

100Mbps in 260 million people's homes? Wow. I could only hope to have that now at my place. Indoors I get 50mbps on my wifi and then slow down to 3mbps from the wifi router to RoadRunner. What a drag to be so fast inside and so slow outdoors.

AdWords - Useful or not useful??

I received in the mail a $100 credit to test out AdWords with my business site. I wonder if it will help drive business my way. I guess that means I should work on my website more.

Google Apps Scripts

I am just starting to make use of the Google Apps scripts within Google Docs and soon will maybe use it with Google Sites.

What is the Buzz about Google Buzz?

What is the buzz about Google Buzz? I am not so sure yet. Although I do see potential if it becomes a part of Google Apps. What does everyone else think about Google Buzz? Are you already getting spam through Google Buzz?
