YZKZ7TT85933 Is Storify, the new just-outta-beta storytelling tool, poised to change reporting? Or is it just another microblogging app? One of the criticisms leveled at social media is that everyone is just talking and talking without a whole lot to say. And to some extent that’s been the problem evident since Twitter first...

Apr 01, 11
Simplenote. It’s exactly what the name suggests, and not a whole lot more.

Oct 05, 10
So you spent $200 on your iPhone and an average of $4.37 per month on apps, and now you want it to tell you not to overspend. Funny how that works. You’re not alone, though. One of the most common uses for smartphones and PDAs has always been expense and budget tracking… and with good reason. Even an old Palm can make a...

Aug 24, 10
I’ll admit it. I’m a (digital) organization junkie. I love programs that organize things really well, and look good doing it. There’s a certain beauty about good task management apps, in particular– an elusive balance between practicality and utility. Most software is too complicated....
