Twitter - the simplicity you can’t escape
via WinExtra by Steven Hodson on January 28, 2008
I’ll bet dollars to doughnuts that you mention Twitter any other place than in conversations with bloggers or other early adopter and you get strange looks being made in your direction and hushed conversations just out of ear shout about how you are one strange person. That’s okay - don’t let it get you down because chances are the next time you get together one more of your friends will...

Data Portability Isn’t Just for The Web
via WinExtra by Steven Hodson on January 26, 2008
A big fuss is being made over data portability that has come out the proliferation of social networks and people getting fed up with having to constantly re-enter the same information over and over again each time they join some shiny new thing.

I’m on the road to fame and fortune
via WinExtra by Steven Hodson on January 31, 2008
Okay that may have been a little over the top but hey it sounded good to the ears even though the chances of that happening is pretty slim. The reason though for the bit of exuberance is that since being asked by MG Siegler (ParisLemon) if I wanted to join him; and some other bloggers that I really respect (Jason of Webomatica, Mark ‘rizzn’ Hopkins, Louis Gray and Frederic), on Elite Tech...

The members love to deny it exists or that if it does that it doesn’t really matter especially as they recite their mantra - it’s the content .. it’s the content. Well if you’ve seen the content of many of those so-called A-Listers it amounts to not much more than powder puff pieces...
