Above the Fuld: This Week’s Tech in 30 Seconds

I recently had a thought. While I spend most of my week writing articles about tech, social media, and mobile advertising, only a minority of my social graph sees all the posts.

I wanted to interview the shakers of the industry, but first and foremost, I wanted to get the opportunity to interview the people that inspired me to start writing. I can now say, mission accomplished.

Developing an app is far from an easy task. As app consumers, we always hear about the success of apps like Angry Birds, Cut the Rope and others.

How to Spread the Word about your Mobile App and Maximize Revenue

The mobile app landscape is becoming a really exciting space right now. The two leaders, Apple and Google, are both pulling out all the tricks to maintain their lead, and we, the users, are eating the fruit. With hundreds of thousands of apps across various app stores, there is no shortage of apps in every category. Apple said it best in its famous iPhone campaign.

8 Apps That Should Have Been Part of iOS and Apple Should Now Buy

It has been a few months now since I replaced my beloved BlackBerry Bold with a shiny new iPhone 4 (Read about the experience here). All in all, despite its shortcomings (yes, Apple is not perfect), I am extremely satisfied with the iPhone and despite what I would have said about the first 3 generations of the Apple device, I now recommend the iPhone 4 to anyone who asks me.

Why I’m Selling My iPad and Getting the iPad 2

First of all, let me just say that I have come to the conclusion that blogging has made me a very cynical person. As I watched the Apple iPad 2 event yesterday and read the live blogging/tweeting coming through my various streams, it made me a little sick.
