Verdict: The HTC First (aka the FaceBook phone) Is A Flop

Apparently I was not alone in my FaceBook phone skepticism. After slightly more than a month on the market, FaceBook's HTC First has failed to win-over consumers. Dislike: HTC First Is A Flop Exactly how badly did the First/FaceBook phone flop? Only 15,000 devices actually made it in to customers' pockets. Although the debut cost of $99 (with 2 year contract) was fairly standard within the mobile phone industry, as of last Thursday, the price dropped to well... 0.99 cents. Ouch. While AT&.... read more

Pheed Feeding the Hunger for Social Media

Are you hungry for a social media platform that doesn't involve the words twit or face? If Apple's list of Top Free apps is any indication, the answer is a resounding, YES.

Withering Vine: The Swift Implosion of Twitter's New Video-Sharing App

Well, that was fast...The launch of Twitter's new brainchild, Vine, is already coming under fire thanks to users who've adopted the app as a way to post pornography. Although users have the option to report content they feel is in appropriate, that does little to negate the problem.
