Apple’s War on Innovation

By Jared Cherup ⋅ July 28, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

For those who know me, you know that I would give my first born child to Google. So what happens when my beloved iPhone creator Apple rejects something Google makes? I get sad and depressed like Mommy and Daddy are fighting. Recently it was announced that all Google Voice related apps on the iPhone App [...]

Twitter Hyped Out

By Jared Cherup ⋅ May 26, 2009 ⋅ 5 comments

I have been a member of Twitter since it was created in 2006. It has grown into something quite amazing since, with millions of users finally “getting” a new way to communicate.

Drop.io: The New Web Service You Didn’t Even Know You Wanted

By Jared Cherup ⋅ December 30, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

Drop.io is a not necessarily a new website, but it’s new to you. Drop.io is a DEAD SIMPLE (I love/hate that term) file sharing site on it’s face.

Facebook is the new Google?

By Jared Cherup ⋅ January 27, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

This is the general opinion in the media: Facebook is the new Google. I’m not quite sure if I agree with this. The company is valuated at 14 billion dollars. Do they generate that much revenue? And how is the Facebook of today different than the MySpace of yesteryear, or the Friendster from years ago. [...]

Newsvine

Newsvine.com is a website dedicated to the world of news. What differs from this site and others is that it aggregates news from the Associated Press, and combines that with user submitted news events and opinions.
