WordPress has long established itself as the go-to blogging platform, and with good reason. It is free. It is easy to use. It has a multitude of features. Newbies don’t have to be so tech savvy to use it. Experts have the freedom to play around with it as much as they want. Sites such as WP Themes have a plethora of themes any blogger (of any level) can pick from. It really is an all-in-one platform.
Then again, when something has been dominant for a long time, new ideas often crop up to disrupt the scene. And this might just be what Kevin Rose of Digg fame might be on to. [Read more…] about Kevin Rose Cooks Up New Blogging Platform, “Tiny”

I suppose we have to define that term more clearly. I use it to refer to people who primarily work on the Internet. Naturally, this covers a lot of ground – from online copywriting to blogging to social media to web design. If you fall under one (or more) of those groups, then this post is for you.

Plus, there are ways to buy Kickstarter products these days if you miss out on initial backing.
If you like quirky and cutting edge like me, and you have some money to spare right now, then you’ll also enjoy these slightly unusual Kickstarter projects that still need backing. [Read more…] about 5 Unusual Kickstarter Projects You’ll Want to Back Now
Online shopping is the best thing since sliced bread!
Not only do you get to find everything and anything (which you may or may not need), but you don’t have to get out of your PJs to do some shopping. A couple of clicks are all you need, and you’re good to go!
If you’re an online shopping enthusiast like me, then you probably already have sniffed out Kickstarter as a source of cool stuff. While it’s technically a crowdfunding site, Kickstarter does offer the online shopper a lot of options. It goes one step further by giving you the opportunity to be “in” at the earliest stages: by being a backer and getting earlybird perks.

Our sister site, ForeverGeek, has come up with something that can somehow help alleviate that frustration: the ForeverGeek Kickstarter Store. [Read more…] about The ForeverGeek Kickstarter Store Makes It Easy for Online Shoppers
It’s the era of spying, monitoring, and of course, whistleblowers. We’ve had so many news items on governments making sure that they know what’s going on – hence the monitoring of practically all kinds of communication. We’ve also had quite a few high profile cases wherein people in the know have come public.
What’s the truth?
Remember, there are always at least two sides to a story, and the average person will probably never get to know the whole picture, but I think it’s pretty safe to say that the government is keeping tabs on what’s floating in the airwaves – or cables, for that matter. Whether you send an email or a text message or make a phone call, the chances are that there might be someone else listening in. [Read more…] about The NSA and Your Mobile Phone
