Don't Let The Door Hit You On The Way Out Of... →
Count me as one of the people who hates having Google+ shoved in my face like this. I get that social didn’t work in GReader, but human curation for RSS served me better than any algorithm I’ve ever seen in the wild, Google or otherwise. I’m sorry to see it go.

Wow, I Knew The Twitter Spam Problem Was Bad...
An hour or so ago, I set up a new Twitter account. It’s not going to my primary account, I’m just going to use it to follow a different set of people than I do in my main account. It’s been a long time since I first joined Twitter, so the process provided me with an interesting look into the site’s current onboarding process.
After bypassing the suggested users, all...

Thank You, Steve Jobs
I wasn’t always an Apple fan. I still don’t see myself firmly in one camp or another. I have two Android phones and just the one iPhone, for example. But my home is filled with other Apple devices, from old iPods to new MacBooks.
Still, Apple has had a profound impact on the tech industry, the industry I have been covering for years, first on my own personal blog, then on...

Via Google+….
Icon Ambulance One Sunday morning, January 6th, 2008 I was attending religious services when my cell phone vibrated. As discreetly as possible, I checked the phone and noticed that my phone said “Caller ID unknown”. I choose to ignore. After services, as I was walking to my car with my family, I checked my cell phone messages. The message left was from Steve Jobs....

Farewell, ReadWriteWeb
Today, I’m announcing my intention to leave ReadWriteWeb. My last day will be August 6th.
It’s incredibly sad to be leaving behind what has been the best job I ever had, so know that I did not make the decision lightly. To ReadWriteWeb’s editor, Richard MacManus, I owe so much. He gave me my first “big break,” shooting me up from the C-list directly to major...
