Mobile 2.0
I’ve talked a bit about mobile mojo here before, so I am looking forward to this event.
editor’s note: I’ll be drowning out the iPhone fanboys by listening to a few mp3’s and surfing the nets on my smartphone

Combo Mojo
I spend a lot of time on the internet. OK, make that a ginormous amount of time. I also contribute to the web frequently and in various fashions via text, photos, video etc. Even I can’t keep track of it all. I’ve found a way to pull more than a few of my content feeds together so people won’t HAVE to visit my websites, just this one. Yay!

Seven Wonders
Cambodia’s Angkor Wat temple complex
Last year I had the chance to vote on the new 7 Wonders website to replace the old and busted seven wonders of the world. This past week they announced the new seven and my choice, Angkor Wat, wasn’t on there. How can Rio’s statue of Christ the Redeemer beat this out?
So it got me thinking…what are some wonders of the my tech world?
- Gmail- 2GB storage and growing. I have all of my email accounts forwarded here as well as gmail forwarded back by way of back-up. The best spam fighter, threaded email conversations and built in chat make it nearly unbeatable.
- Firefox- custom themes, endless add-on extensions, Greasemonkey scripts, better security and its been my browser of choice for a couple of years.
- Flickr- unlimited community photo sharing. Close 2nd: Zooomr
- Wordpress- the free blog hosting company is hard to beat
- iTunes- yes it is bloatware but it organizes my music/videos/podcasts like nothing else
- Del.icio.us- online social bookmarks. Works great since I have multiple computers
- FeedDemon- this desktop feed reader coordinates with the free web-based Newsgator so I can read my 200+ feeds online or off. How cool is that?
Since I am an early user/adopter of new web-based technology and services, it is very difficult for me to try something and stick with it in my everyday web usage. These are the exceptions and my seven wonders of the tech world. There are more of course, but it wouldn’t fit the theme very well, would it?
What are your seven wonders? Add them in the comments!
New Web Apps To Discover & Use
Recently I have been invited to test more than a few pieces of exclusive software & web applications. Some are enough to make you turn your head while others just make you wish you should have kept on going without looking.
I’ll have full write-ups & reviews soon, so stay tuned. In the mean time, here is what I am testing/suggesting:
Grooveshark is a P2P music share site for DRM-free MP3s. Once the uploader is installed, you can load files to the web component SUPER fast. From the web you can download/play music with their online player and socialize. This site looks like it has/will have some good audio mojo!
Veoh is another hot little desktop/webware application that allws you to record online video like you would record television with your DVR.
8Apps is (currently) a suite of 3 web-based applications to help organize your work including the very nicely done Handshake which connects your contacts and helps you make more. Orchestrate will help with collaboration and Blueprint assists in your project/time management.
Gleamd is a kind of “why bother”? Not impressed with it’s people search function so far. It also has a very pronounced “in-crowd” or popularity factor. Are we in high school again? I’d go with Spock, if I had a choice. Oh, I do.
Like I said previously, once these apps are tested properly, I’ll give a more detailed review. Until then, enjoy your day!
Techno Mojo In Hibernate Mode
Hiatus, holiday, interval, break, gap or time-off. Either way you can synonym-ize it, I’m doing it. There are many time influencers going on right now and I am choosing my prioirties accordingly.
Let me encourage you to read all of the other great tech & web 2.0 sites out there!
Check out the other Mojo sites like Go Mojo & Photo Mojo. Most of all, thank you for your daily readership. We’ll be back and adding to the conversation soon.
