T-Mobile Ranks Highest in Customer Service. Again

Some question why I stick with T-Mobile when there are so many other choices.  Many mobile service providers have better phone selections or provide faster mobile data services.
One of the reasons is that the service I get from their support teams is unmatched.  The other big reason is the very competitive pricing compared to the other [...]


Save a YouTube video to your hard drive

Here is a great new service that I found - FLV Online Converter! The trick it does is convert a YouTube (or similar service) video into a downloadable file in the format of your choice! A screen cap of the conversion process is at right.
Although I’m a strong believer in online services, [...]

GigaOM » Spam is sucking life out of Email

I agree with Om on this, as spam keeps growing in proportion to emails sent, we need a new way to send email.
A new mechanism to verify the sender, to quickly blacklist and abolish spam and other erroneous messages needs to be created and implemented.  The existing email protocols don’t have anything within the messaging sending/receiving structure to validate a [...]

Avvenu Plus - On line storage

I’ve blogged before about Avvenu, the on line storage provider.  Well, if you’re a current customer, you should be getting an email from them about an upgraded service offering available to you.  It is a pay-for service but upgrades your account to 5GB.
Avvenu is unique in that they allow you to access your home computer [...]


My Internet is changing again

It is and it isn’t.  This weekend, I’ve gone back to several services that I had joined many months ago to check them out again.  Namely ClipMarks, NewsVine and del.icio.us.  The only one I had found useful at the time was ClipMarks, and it mainly for a storage place for things I found interesting on the [...]
