BlackBerry PlayBook – What’s not to love?

Apr 25, 2011 | 2

At the first report last year of a tablet device for BlackBerry users I set up Google alerts and subscribed to the BlackBerry site for alerts. On March 22 an email popped up saying I could pre-order at Best Buy. With lightening speed I pulled a check card from my wallet with one hand and cranked up the website with the other. Start to finish couldn't have been more than 3 minutes, maybe qualifying for Guinness status.…

FREE Job Board Model Rules

May 02, 2010 |  

I received a notification @barakhullman was following me. I'm a matchmaker so I like to check out new followers, put them in lists, check out their blogs, etc. I try to do this each morning with coffee. Usually it's manageable - sometimes it's not and I admit to being behind on deciding who to follow back. Anyway, I thought it odd a guy should have 10 tweets, be following 3178 and have 2927 followers... Instead of the temptation to hit the delete button I tested the "give the benefit of doubt" theory and decided to check him out. Who was he?…
