Why Every Human Being Should Have a Blog. Yes, Even You!

By: Hillel Fuld OK, maybe the title is a little dramatic, not EVERY single human being needs a blog, but if you are reading these words right now, then yes, you need a blog. I’ll explain. If you are reading this blog, chances are you are someone who works or hangs out on the Web. [...]

Finally Joined Twitter? Please PLEASE Don’t Make These Mistakes

By: Hillel Fuld This post is long overdue, firstly because I have neglected this site for way too long due to most of my content going here, here, here, and here. More importantly though, this post is overdue because as social media becomes more and more mainstream every day, with some help from Google, more people take the [...]

Dear Social Media: You’re Giving me A Headache, Please Slow Down!

OK, this is just getting ridiculous and I waited long enough to write this post. Technology moves fast, I get it, but there's fast, and then there's the pace at which the world of social media has been moving over the past few months.

Four Unfortunate Ways Twitter Is Killing Tweetdeck

Twitter, as a company, has made its share of mistakes over the years. These include implementing its own retweeting system that makes it significantly more difficult to see how many people retweeted you and who they are (not to mention the fact that when I use the Twitter retweet, I can't add my two cents to the original tweet, it all kind of defeats the purpose), the Twitter URL shortening service, which seems to break more links than it shortens, or many others. But the good news was that with all these issues, I always had Tweetdeck to fall back on. Then Twitter bought Tweetdeck.

Above the Fuld: This Week’s Tech News (Nov 13th-23rd)

Truth be told, I kinda love putting these posts together, it helps me feel productive by seeing exactly how many posts I have written in the last week or month. The fact that people keep telling me they love them and use them as a resource to catch up on all the technology news they missed, well that is just the icing on the cake.

Seven of Steve Jobs’ and Steve Wozniak’s Craziest Pranks

So I just finished reading the biography of Steve Jobs and to say I loved every word of it would be an understatement. I wrote a review of the book and if you can only read one post, this one or that one, read my review. Of course, what made the book so amazing was not just my love for technology or Apple products, nor was it my admiration for Steve Jobs, it was the story of a man filled with contradictions who ended up revolutionizing anywhere between seven and nine industries, depending who you ask.

Above the Fuld: A Month in Tech (Oct 9th-Nov 13th)

It has been quite a crazy month in and out of the tech industry and while I usually try to post these articles on a weekly basis, clearly, that did not work too well in the last couple of week. But since many (many) people seem to depend on these posts to get up to date, I am forcing myself to get back into the swing of things.

Five Ways Twitter Imitates Real Life

If I had a dime for every person who said to me "I don't do Twitter. Why do I need to announce to the world what I am eating or when I go to the bathroom"? Now, I am not sure how or when Twitter got the reputation of being a service for pointless and insignificant status updates, but if anyone deserves that title, it is Facebook. The amount of content, relationships, and engagement I have gathered on Twitter over the years, or even on a daily basis, is absolutely unprecedented anywhere else on or off the Web.

An Interview with Paul Carr about Living in Hotels and Five Words Every Startup Should Know

The technology reporting scene on the Web is always full of excitement and drama. Paul Carr makes sure of it. The man is a constant source of entertainment both in his blog posts and on Twitter. The latest TechCrunch story brought out the best in Paul and as soon as Arrington was not permitted to choose his successor as the Editor of TechCrunch, Paul left, just like he promised he would.

Above the Fuld: This Week’s Tech News (Oct 2nd-9th)

This week will most definitely go down in the books as the most monumental week in its effect on the tech industry. Except, I mean that in the worst possible way. We lost the father of tech, the legendary Steve Jobs, and many industries will never be the same.
