Texting

I saw a very interesting article on slashdot this morning about texting. Almost every teen in america sends text messages now, and households are being slammed with outrageous bills, some over $1000, because of the price per text. It states that the use of SMS has doubles from 2005 to 2006, thats an alarming rate. I just wanna say i feel really bad for the parents, should have brought the unlimited plan. My dad learned his lesson a while ago and we've been unlimited ever since.

Heres the article:

Google

In an article I read on Slashdot, they talk about Google offering ISP's the opportunity to turn over their email operation to Google. This would be huge for them, they are trying to build thier user base and this is a great way. Google is currently third behind yahoo and hotmail. I think that is definately a great move for google, especially since they will be charging ISP's money to do this. so not only will they be making money but they will also be growing their user base.

Here is the article, check it out

Interesting blog on teammates site

I saw a very intriguing post on trevors blog, it was about an article called "13 year-old CEO steals the show at TiECON." It seems unreal but after reading it, its no joke. Kids in this country are growing up quicker and quicker and its really crazy.

Interesting blog on Teammates site

Steve W had a very interesting post about YouTube. He read an article that talked about users wanting to recieve some sort of compensation for putting up videos that attract people to youtube. I for one think this is rediculous, afterall that is the purpose of the site. People look for any way to try and get money now a days and it just gets old.

Nate posted about something called technorati, he described it as a search engine just for blogs mixed with some other random services. I checked it out and it was pretty interesting. I suggest signing up.

Nate had a post about comparing google adsense and amazon. We both agreed that google was pretty boring and looked like part of the blog. it needs to stand out more. amazon is defiantely better.

I commented on Trevors wiki edit regarding andy hall. I was curious as to whether or not his edits had withstood the test of time by the wiki community.
