Google’s Story That Google Reader Traffic Declined Is BS When You Put That Traffic Alongside Google+
It wasn’t hard to read between the lines–I’ve been calling Google’s decision to drop Google Reader a Microsoft-esque decision made to try to push customers to their other products, and especially to Google+. Google’s story that it needed to be done because of declining traffic is BS when you look at the real numbers. Buzz [...]
6 Ways The Pundits Are Dazed and Confused About Google Reader and RSS
One of the you-betcha-surefire Pundit strategies is that when something is getting a lot of heat, like the current flap over Google dropping Google Reader, you can get a lot of attention by disagreeing with the crowd.

Google, If You Think I’ll Move From Reader to Another Google Product, Drop Dead
Just got the news that Google Reader will be turned off July 1. Realistically, I should’ve moved after the first time they brain-damaged it and I railed about it, but I stupidly stuck to it.

Google or Microsoft Should Buy Delicious
What a circus Yahoo has become, and not in a good way. As often as Arrington is over the top in his snarky posts, his latest about Yahoo is so on the mark that I’m even going to use his train wreck picture here, just to emphasize his point about Yahoo being in total disarray one [...]
Life with Evo
2 weeks ago I wrote about switching camps from iPhone to Android, and with the news today that Android is now outselling iPhone I figured I could either take credit for the shift or do something far more useful and write a short post about my experiences so far.

Reading is delightful on the iPad – The iPad Review – Quick Analysis
I’d gladly use an iPad everyday in addition to a real computer, but it’s too expensive to justify it.
