An Interview with Alyssa Milano: Actress, Philanthropist, Entrepreneur, and Twitter Superstar

As a blogger, there are a few very defining moments. This is one of those moments. An interview with Alyssa Milano. Where do I start? Alyssa is one of the few actresses who, as funny as might sound, transcends generations. What I mean is that while I grew up watching Saved by the Bell, my older brother grew up watching the Love Boat (he is ten years older than me), yet we both had crushes on Alyssa Milano growing up. I mean, who did not watch the show “Who’s the Boss”?

 

An Interview with Mike McCue, the Genius Behind Flipboard

There are hundreds of thousands of mobile apps across all the various platforms, but there is only one Flipboard. It says a lot about an app when its design makes it the app you use to show off your device to your friends and its functionality makes it the most used app on your device. Flipboard is that app. Its design and concept have made it one of the most viral apps ever and its simplicity and intuitive nature makes it a pleasure to use. Here is an interview with the founder.

 

The Jabra Halo is Some Bleeding Edge Bluetooth Technology

Let me tell you a little story. As you probably know, I recently replaced my BlackBerry Bold with an iPhone 4. As soon as I got my new shiny iPhone, I wanted to test its Bluetooth capabilities among many other things. I plugged in my Jabra JX10, an ear piece I got for my birthday three years ago. Unfortunately, it would not charge. Now, the headset was not under warranty and I had not used in over a year so the fact that it would not charge did not completely surprise me. Despite that fact, I thought I would reach out to Jabra on Twitter and see if there was anything they can do.

 

How To Get Your Mobile App Noticed and Downloaded

By now, you have most probably heard the ridiculous number of mobile applications available on the various platforms. Apple is leading the way with its 300,000 iPhone apps in the App Store and Google is catching up fast with 100,000 Android apps in the Android Market. Overall, as far as the consumer is concerned, this trend is a positive one. The more selection, the lower the prices, and the higher the standards for mobile apps.

 

The BlackBerry Tablet a.k.a RIM Playbook in Action

The competition is heating up and the last numbers I read as recently as yesterday indicate that Apple has officially surpassed RIM in world smartphone market share. The mobile horizon is not what it was even a few months ago with Android devices popping up faster than you can name them, the iPhone and iPad selling like Hot cakes, Windows Phone 7 getting some more than decent reviews, and Nokia trying its best at the touch screen game.

 

Apple is Crushing it and Jobs Is Loving it

At a tech event I was at yesterday, one of the many conversations you heard echoing through the hall was the old Android vs. iPhone debate. I have to admit I took part in many of these conversations mainly on the side of tablets and less in regard to smartphones. I already wrote about why one would prefer a Galaxy Tab (Android tablet) over an iPad, and I am personally looking forward to getting my hands on the Galaxy Tab so I can do a real side by side comparison.

 

A BlackBerry Addict’s Experience Switching to iPhone 4

This is one of the most challenging posts I have ever written. Most people in my circles have been using an iPhone for years. I have not. I stuck with BlackBerry throughout all the different versions of the iPhone because I always found some crucial features missing from the Apple device. If I was going to give up my beloved BlackBerry Bold (not being sarcastic there, I love that phone), it was not going to be for a phone with no copy/paste, a 2 mp camera, or a device with no video capture capabilities.

 

Exclusive Interview with Richard Barley: Community Manager of Tweetdeck

Working as Community Manager for a company with millions of users is not a simple task. You need to walk the fine line of being overly professional and therefore boring, and on the flip side, too personal and amateurish. Richard Barley, the Community Manager of Tweetdeck does this perfectly. Anyone who has ever had a question about Tweetdeck knows they can ask him on Twitter and except a response within seconds. Richard keeps his audience interested and displays a high level of professionalism in his work.

 

Ten Crucial Features Missing from the New Twitter

I Just got the new Twitter and there is really no question that it is a huge improvement over the old one. Having said that, the comparison to the old Twitter is irrelevant, that is not what it is here to compete with. The new Twitter can and should only be compared to Twitter clients such as Tweetdeck and Seesmic. Since I am a huge Tweetdeck fan, I am going to talk about the experience the new Twitter provides as compared to that of Tweetdeck.

 

Android Tablet Spotted (VIDEO)

Apple seems to have done it again, opened up a new market. Yes, there have been tablets in the past, but do you know anyone who has one? I don’t! Upon the release of the iPad and the millions sold, seems everyone wants a piece of the action and I can’t blame them.
