After I wrote about Tracx in my last post, and how I connected with it the least out of the all the presenting companies at Techonomy, the CTO and Co-Founder Niv Singer commented on the post. He could not have been nicer and explained that Tracx listens to its users’ feedback and how it is a work-in-progress. The following is a Tech N’ Marketing exclusive HD video of Tracx’s presentation at Techonomy.

Top 5 Reasons to Tweet
Being a heavy Twitter user has presented a very serious challenge for me. I am asked multiple times every day, “What is Twitter?” I always try to answer that question in the most relevant way taking my audience into consideration. It is really hard to sell Twitter to someone who just doesn’t get it. Now when someone asks me the famous question, “What the heck is all the buzz about?

Why is America Lagging Behind?
T-Mobile announced yesterday that they are going to be the first to offer a 3G USB stick modem for your laptop. This technology has been around for years and in 3G form for at least a year. Why is it only hitting the US market now? Why is the US so far behind in this release?

OK, let me start off by saying that it is now widely accepted by pretty much all mobile and iPhone experts that June will be the month in which the new iPhone will be announced. Apple’s recent release of its new firmware just emphasized that point. Deep buried in the new firmware, some developers, who clearly have too much time on their hands, discovered references to a mysterious iPhone 2.1 and 3.0, as well as iPod Touch 2.2 and 3.1.
Now that we have established that June is the month, is this myserious iPhone 3.0 worth waiting for and eventually purchasing? I believe it is, and here are 5 reasons to support my belief…
Big Week for Kevin Rose & the iPhone
Wow, there has been a lot going on over the last few days, and being overwhelmed with all the news, as well as my constant tweeting, I was the victim of very severe Blogger’s Block. So I finally just decided to get over it and write my thoughts down for you.
Let’s start with, you guessed it, Twitter. I really cannot cover everything that has transpired this week in Twittersville, the amount of interesting articles shared, videos watched, and great debates and discussions in which I participated, is pretty much endless. So, I will try to focus on one new very important development that is bound to change the way we interact with Twitter and our followers.
