Above the Fuld: A Month in Tech (Oct 9th-Nov 13th)
Posted on 13. Nov, 2011 by hilzfuld.
It has been quite a crazy month in and out of the tech industry and while I usually try to post these articles on a weekly basis, clearly, that did not work too well in the last couple of week. But since many (many) people seem to depend on these posts to get up to date, I am forcing myself to get back into the swing of things.

Five Ways Twitter Imitates Real Life
Posted on 16. Oct, 2011 by hilzfuld.
If I had a dime for every person who said to me “I don’t do Twitter. Why do I need to announce to the world what I am eating or when I go to the bathroom”? Now, I am not sure how or when Twitter got the reputation of being a service for pointless and insignificant status updates, but if anyone deserves that title, it is Facebook. The amount of content, relationships, and engagement I have gathered on Twitter over the years, or even on a daily basis, is absolutely unprecedented anywhere else on or off the Web.

An Interview with Paul Carr about Living in Hotels and Five Words Every Startup Should Know
Posted on 09. Oct, 2011 by hilzfuld.
The technology reporting scene on the Web is always full of excitement and drama. Paul Carr makes sure of it. The man is a constant source of entertainment both in his blog posts and on Twitter. The latest TechCrunch story brought out the best in Paul and as soon as Arrington was not permitted to choose his successor as the Editor of TechCrunch, Paul left, just like he promised he would.

Above the Fuld: This Week’s Tech News (Oct 2nd-9th)
Posted on 09. Oct, 2011 by hilzfuld.
This week will most definitely go down in the books as the most monumental week in its effect on the tech industry. Except, I mean that in the worst possible way. We lost the father of tech, the legendary Steve Jobs, and many industries will never be the same.

TweetBy: Hillel Fuld When I sit down to write a blog post, I often plan it out for hours before. I think about the content, and how unique my angle is. I think about the title and how I will make it enticing enough for people to click. I think about the length of the [...]

TweetBy: Hillel Fuld It is that time of the week again, time to sum up all the tech news of the previous week in one easy-to-read blog post. This edition of Above the Fuld is a little shorter than usual, as I was on vacation for three days this week. That means no coverage of [...]

An Interview With Dennis Crowley, Co-Founder of Foursquare on Startups, Mobile, and Being King
Posted on 26. Sep, 2011 by hilzfuld.
I recently tweeted this question. Out of the tens of responses I got to the question “What services do you use daily” almost half of them included Foursquare, along with Gmail, Facebook, and Twitter. If you are not familiar with Foursquare, it is the undisputed king of location-based services. The concept is simple. You “check in” to locations and let your friends across the Web know where you are.

The New Facebook is a No-Brainer, If Zuckerberg Wants to Rule the Interwebs!
Posted on 23. Sep, 2011 by hilzfuld.
I wasn’t always such as a geek. In fact, my true geekiness started at a pretty advanced age. I still remember going to camp as a teenager and everyone giving each other their email addresses on the last day. I did not have an email address yet. Same goes for IM. My friends can testify that when people had been using IM for years, I was just beginning to be fascinated by the concept that I can send someone a message across the world in a matter of a split second.

An Interview with Tim Stevens, Editor in Chief of Engadget about Toys, iPhone 5, and Mike Arrington/AOL
Posted on 13. Sep, 2011 by hilzfuld.
I am frustrated and let me tell you why. I have noticed a strong trend in the world of tech blogging in which some leading names spend most of their time fighting over who broke what story. Many of these leading technology journalists, who in many cases, I have a lot of professional respect for, do not engage their audience on Twitter, are inaccessible to anyone with less than 100k followers, and then participate in petty and childish competition with other bloggers.
