I’m so pleased to announce that version 2 of PicoCool has launched! I originally started PicoCool in September 2007 as a side blog where I could indulge in my passion for finding unique, and often obscure bytes of content from social networks and peer media. After doing that for a little over a year, I really wanted to open the site up to the community. Rather than being a blog where I post my finds, PicoCool is now a global community dedicated to uncovering “the cool.” As a member... - Eye vs. Eye and Kern: iPhone Games for Designers13 February 2009, 1:02 pm

- Tweetmeme Retweets Become Elite Next Week4 July 2009, 12:43 am
Retweeting, as we’ve mentioned before (see HOW TO: Retweet on Twitter), is an increasingly popular way to share content on the web. Twitter is such a powerful tool for sharing media, in fact, that the former market leaders are racing to keep up. News sharing site Digg recently added short URLs and attempted to append a toolbar to those short URL clicks (Diggbar was later scaled back), while serendipitous sharing site StumbleUpon also got into the short URL game. Both are under attack ... - Task.fm Adds Smart Reminders via Twitter3 July 2009, 11:11 pm
A few months ago, we reviewed a unique reminder app: Task.fm. In our assessment, we noted its Twitter-like approach to reminders and its ability to decipher human language – you can tell it Task.fm “I need to call mom at noon tomorrow” and expect a reminder the next day. We did note though that you couldn’t set reminders via email, SMS, or Twitter, which decreased its utility. Since then, Task.fm has been busy adding new features to its app, culminating in the release o... - Happy Internet Dependence Day!3 July 2009, 10:01 pm

Three months ago we reported that Ads Had Come to Twitter and it was a pretty big deal - until Twitter promptly said the word "sponsored" was only appearing on the site in error. Now the "sponsored definitions" of certain Twitter "concepts" have appeared on the site again - and they sure look legit this time. These first ads probably aren't going to bring in enough cash to fuel a micro-app acquisition spree by Twitter, but this is the first clear public indication of one way the company i... - Risky Business: Enterprise GRC Platforms Essential, Says Forrester3 July 2009, 6:39 pm
In a new report issued on the first of the month, Forrester Research has asserted the importance of enterprise platforms for governance, risk management, and compliance (GRC). Pointing to big name corporate failures in the last decade, they argue that the value proposition for GRC software is clear, and they identified leaders in this growing market. The open question from the research is whether enterprises will really see the need as being so desperate. Fear may be a great motivator, but GRC... - Digital Media M&A: Mobile & Analytics Deals Up, Social Media Down3 July 2009, 6:17 pm

According to Peachtree, there were 342 digital media transactions in the first half of 2009, which was 12.3% below the number of transactions in the same period for 2008.

You know that scene in Alice in Wonderland where Alice is tumbling down the rabbit hole past all those miscellaneous chairs and birds? That same feeling of confused dread is often how users feel when they're attempting to navigate a site that has never been tested. We know that developers pour their souls into their projects. But that's also why it's sometimes difficult (and even personal) to point out the flaws. A developer has to ask, "Do I want it built my way without compromise or do I want ...
