Folks a few days ago I had asked for help on a GigaOm widget for Mac Dashboard. Anders just in a most generous gesture created one for me. So all my readers who have Tiger, hopefully this is worth downloading and installing on your dashboard. Here is the link. Now how about making this PC-ready [...]

Technorati goes mobile, why?

Om Malik, Sunday, July 31, 2005 at 10:08 AM PT Comments (3)

Given that their browser based search is still a bit of hit and a miss, it is tough to figure out how they improve the Technorati experience on the mobile phone. As I said in my previous post, Technorati optimized for Palm Treo (how of many of these clunkers are out there anyway?) is reflective [...]

Content, the risk in war of the wires?

The Economist has a sort of ‘lay-of-the-land’ piece on incumbent phone companies and their IPTV strategy. It is a lot of what we all know, except packaged nicely for those who don’t follow the arcane happenings in the world of telecom. What I find amusing is how phone companies are suddenly saying, they are no [...]

Windows world is all tipsy topsy over the release of new Internet Explorer 7 Beta which has amazing ground breaking features as tabbed browsing.
