I Will Miss You, Steve! (Not Great for SEO, but It’s From the Heart!)
Posted on 06. Oct, 2011 by hilzfuld.
By: 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 [...]

Above the Fuld: This Week’s Tech News (Sep. 25th-Oct. 1st)
Posted on 02. Oct, 2011 by hilzfuld.
By: 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.

If you have been paying attention, you have probably noticed that I have been using this blog to write summaries of all the posts I write on other sites.

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.

Above the Fuld (August 29th- Septemper 4th)
Posted on 03. Sep, 2011 by hilzfuld.
It is that time of the week again, time to summarize the tech events we heard about over the past few days. Just in case you were wondering, the title is not a typo. The idea obviously came from the phrase Above the Fold, which you can read about here, and was adapted to my last name, Fuld. Cute, I know. It was actually not my idea, I crowd sourced it on Google+, but I do love it. Anyway, I hope you enjoy these weekly posts, they are fun to put together.

Above the Fuld (August 7th-28th)
Posted on 27. Aug, 2011 by hilzfuld.
Been a few weeks since I posted one of these due to a vacation. All I can say is, what a month to choose for a vacation. This month will definitely go down in the books as one of, if not the, craziest months in tech ever. Where do we start? I think I summed it up pretty well in this tweet from last week. Everyone who is anyone in tech had something to announce this month. Google, Facebook, HP, Motorola, Apple, Amazon, and Linkedin are just some of the companies that made some noise over the past month.

Why 9/10 People Would Prefer the BlackBerry Playbook over the iPad
Posted on 25. Aug, 2011 by hilzfuld.
Let me start off by saying that i have been testing the BlackBerry Playbook for over a month now, gathering my thoughts, jotting down some points, and waiting till all my impressions were gathered and formulated. No, I was not waiting for Steve Jobs to resign to write my review of the Playbook and include such a blatantly anti-Apple title as you see above. The truth is I do not doubt the superiority of the iPad as a tablet computer or its affect on the dominance the Apple tablet now displays in this new tablet market. I do not believe the Playbook will ever outsell the iPad or even come close to it.
