In a world where media and the internet are revolutionizing societal notions of identity and privacy (largely for the better), I feel it is only proper to take a moment and introduce myself. Hi! My name is Triston McIntyre. I’m going into my third year of law school at the University of Maryland in Baltimore, [...]
For some of us, tweeting is more than just updating our friends as to what we put on our turkey sandwiches for lunch or how far we’re forced to walk from our cars to Starbucks. Twitter is a powerful tool, and amongst other things, can be used as a medium for business negotiation. And what [...]
All you Blackberry and WinMo users out there that have been dejected, watching iPhone and G1 users download fun and practical applications from each phone’s respective application store, finally have something to smile about. This week’s big mobile news, at least thus far, has been the announcement of an application store for both Blackberry phones [...]
Today as I read through the top tech stories listed on Techmeme, I stumbled on a little nugget: an Adobe AIR social aggregator I hadn’t gotten my paws on yet! Called Skimmer, the AIR application aggregates users’ social streams from Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, Bebo and Flickr into a a single continuous flow. And aside from [...]

Facebook has certainly come a long way since its baby days, hasn’t it? As one of the first college students to adopt the social networking platform, I’m all smiles when Facebook rolls out new changes. At the moment Facebook is promoting its upcoming home page changes which will allow users to post content directly from [...]
Facebook has been in quite the pickle recently, hasn’t it? In trying to achieve transparency, it let users know about what was a technically small change in the legalese of the Terms of Service, and the uproar from privacy groups and FaceBook users was huge. Now we’re at a very interesting juncture in the [...]
I just got my first iPod Touch, and suffice it to say that I’m officially hooked. In fact, I’m more than hooked. In less than 24 hours, I’ve effectively decided that lugging around a Blackberry Curve with the wonderful Touch is too much, and that I need an iPhone. Leslie called the iPod Touch a [...]
Today the blogosphere is all a’tizzy about Facebook’s move to claim all rights, past and present, to user-uploaded content.

If you haven’t heard, Facebook updated its terms-of-service [...]
