Facebook and T-Mobile Launch Bobsled. With Huge Privacy Glitch. Or is it By Design? Skype, Google Voice and Telcos Beware, Anyway…

By Zoli Erdos on April 19, 2011

Out of left field, T-Mobile and Facebook launched Bobsled, a VOIP service that allows voice calls to anyone on your Facebook list for free.  At this moment the entire blogging world is busy writing about it, so I skip the basics… and just run to some funny experience while testing it. First, here’s how you […]

OnCompare: Finally a Service to Help Pick Other Web-based Services (Yes, Yelp +++)

OnCompare: Finally a Service to Help Pick Other Web-based Services (Yes, Yelp +++)

By Zoli Erdos on February 2, 2011

It’s rare I get excited by a new service, but OnCompare has great promise, and if my own experience trying / discarding services is any indication, it serves a real need.  Mashable calls is Yelp For Software, not without reason, in fact half a year ago it was just a cry out for help by […]

When Innovation Backfires. MSI’s Dual-screen eSomething

When Innovation Backfires. MSI’s Dual-screen eSomething

By Zoli Erdos on January 11, 2010

I love innovation – just not innovation for the sake of innovation.  It should be useful – and when I look at MSI’s dual-screen eReader – Netbook – Whatever, I seriously question the usability. Multipurpose devices do make sense, especially when it comes to the one-little-thing you carry in your pocket: it’s great not having […]

Google's FeedBurner Socialize Isn't Quite Cooked Yet. Back to TwitterFeed.

Google’s FeedBurner Socialize Isn’t Quite Cooked Yet. Back to TwitterFeed.

By Zoli Erdos on December 14, 2009

Why bother with an intermediary when we can now have FeedBurner send our blog post to Twitter directly? – I wrote in Startup Bloodbath in Social Media and I meant it.  But for now, we’re switching back to TwitterFeed. The new Feedburner service that pushes blog posts to Twitter directly isn’t quite ready. Let’s just […]

Tweet Blender Wins Over Twitter’s Own List Widget – For Now

Tweet Blender Wins Over Twitter’s Own List Widget – For Now

By Zoli Erdos on November 2, 2009

CloudAve readers can now follow the contributing bloggers’ twitter stream in a sidebar, thanks to a cool widget called Tweet Blender.   Finding it was not easy: I combed through at least 100 plugins / widgets, all doing essentially the same: follow a person, or do keyword search.  Either or.. not both.  And definitely not a […]

Skype is not Only VOIP: It Reigns in IM But How Long?

Skype is not Only VOIP: It Reigns in IM But How Long?

By Zoli Erdos on October 15, 2009

Nowadays the only context we hear about Skype is the legal fight (care to bet how long it will take for the previous Net Celebs to become the Hated Greedy Ones who try to sc**w all of us?) – I would much rather read about new features, improvements. After all, Skype is the single most […]
