Who Do You Follow?
2008-07-18 15:27:00 Chrissie Brodigan (@chrissieb) was looking for recommendations about who to follow on Twitter . It?s sort of a hard thing to say because determining who?s ?best? is so subjective. If you?re a web designer, you?ll want to follow other designers; if you?re a tech geek, you?ll want to follow other tech geeks; etc. etc. There are ...

Can?t Buy Me Love ? Why Getting Digg Hosts to Pimp the Zune Fell Flat
2008-07-15 00:14:00 The Microsoft Zune is definitely the underdog when it comes to MP3 music players. In this market, there is only one king and everyone knows it?s the iPod.
