Dumb and Dumber
Fascinating post here about how years ago cinematic images affected two young men, Sergey and Larry whose destiny was to become the founders of the greatest monster of the internet – you guessed it right, the almighty Google. Both born in 1973 were only 21 years of age when a movie described by as a modern comedy classic was released in 1994. Read here for the connection to Matt Cutts, shagging-wagon and corporate jets.

iPhone app solves info distraction overload

BlogKing August 20th, 2008

NY TImes has a good article on the decline of printer sales. Glad I read it because I learned about new web services to solve a problem I have been having and I bet you also.

Rather than print out an article to read later, we hit “Read Later” or Read It Later, ShifD or Google Notebook and read the article on any computer anywhere.

Lots of times I find some interesting web article but I don’t want to read now and interrupt my workflow. [You know you read one article and hours later you wonder what happened to your productivity].

Wouldn’t it be great to bookmark in a quick list that you could instantly recall when ready and finish those articles. When I bookmark in Firebird I can’t find it again easily.

So I signed up [free] for the first one at http://www.instapaper.com

I was delighted to learn that they had just released a iPhone app also. Now that is real value added. So I can bookmark on PC and read on iPhone when I have some time free. Best of all they have an text optimized view that is easy to read without pinching or rotating. Also a web view when that is useful.

Web view

Text view of same page.

Very clean and readable formatting. No eye strain at all. As Micky D says “I’m loving it”

This is now my favorite app right up there with Twitterific. An app that really solves a web surfer’s info distraction overload.

Thanks Marco for a brilliant solution.

IPhone apps adding value

BlogKing August 10th, 2008

This post is coming your way via the new WordPress for iPhone app. I must say that I am now using my iPhone more and more for on the fly Internet based communications.
Twitted is becoming really useful in eavesdropping on the star web 2.0 players. The best way to learn is by modeling those who are more successful. I picked up several tips just this week which I would not have known on my own.  The Twitterific app is the only way I tweet. Hardly ever use the web site(terrible UI design)

And now with this app I can post anywhere when the inspiration is hot. That reduces the feeling of burden which is a good thing.
So check it out. I think you too will feel a renewed inspiration.

Twitter plug-in make WordPress tweet-able

BlogKing July 16th, 2008

I have been getting up to speed with Twitter now that Twitterific is available for iPhone. That is a killer app for the iPhone. Got a few minutes to kill? Just open your phone and check your twitter universe. On my desktop just too distracting and I already am hurting for screen real estate.

Now there is plugin Twitter Updater will let you automatically update your Twitter.com status with your most recent blog post. There are a few options to how the display will look when it updates. Neat that it uses tiny url to shorten link to your blog post.

The App Store is a grand slam

BlogKing July 14th, 2008

Marketing Vox

Apple announced it sold its one millionth iPhone 3G on Sunday, just three days after its Friday launch in 21 countries.

The original iPhone hit its one millionth sale 74 days after launch.

Check out the chart of survey of buyers at MarketingVox

Notably, 39 percent of current iPhone buyers are primarily PC users, versus 25 percent of first-generation iPhone buyers.

What’s more, the anticipated App Store enjoyed over 10 million downloads for iPhone and iPod touch applications. My favorite so far is The New York TImes app. Nicely designed and doesn’t overwhelm as the web site does in Safari on iPhone.

iSepta has landed

BlogKing May 20th, 2008

The cool developers at Umlatte have just released a SEPTA train schedule web app for the iPhone. The standard SEPTA site on left is nothing more than a reproduction of the paper schedule; no value added and hard to use from a mobile device. Jason Tremblay designed the fantastic improvement on the right. And it works with other mobile devices to boot. Access it at http://isepta.org

They are already working on a new feature to add real time info on trains running late.

This is the kind of innovative development that solves a distinct problem, has wide appeal, is free to the user and brands Philadelphia as a progressive, technologically hip area. Take note Innovation Philadelphia.
