Two important pieces of information from Facebook – First, Facebook has rolled out a new commenting system in an attempt to be the go-to tool for commenting on blog posts. This is a publisher-side feature, meaning blog administrators need to make the change. This is an important move from Facebook […]

Google has published a facial recognition patent that might be used to auto-tag people across the web.  Auto-tagging, feature recognition, and 3D modeling are far from new concepts so it seems like Google is going to rush to beat Facebook to the punch.  I suspect that in five years you’ll be […]
Another wonderful cross post from the glorious uTest blog: There are only two kinds of people who aren’t following the iPad 2 saga with every waking moment – luddites and first gen iPad owners. I fall into the second category. Before we get into the iPad 2 details, a quick […]
Copied from my post on the uTest blog. Google’s off to a pretty intense start in 2011 – from a change in CEO to launching new products that compete directly with some of the biggest tech companies including Microsoft, Amazon and of course, Apple. It’s no secret that web and mobile […]

Note: this is a cross-post from the uTest software testing blog.  Please visit the original post for more comments, Tweets, and other goodness. I recently attended a marketing conference that discussed emerging technology trends. When the panel was asked what was the single-word topic of 2010 they almost all said, […]
When we started diving into the dirty world of display (aren’t banners from ’98?) we thought we’d build toward large campaigns on TechCrunch, CrackBerry, and BusinessWeek. We quickly reached this goal… and another learning. In reality, these big mass-media sources have a much lower ROI for us than small, niche […]
I’ve had a few friends inquire about positions at uTest recently and I’ve found myself repeating myself over and over again, so I thought I’d add a quick “FAQ†of what my friends have asked and my answers. This is a work in progress so I’ll try to update this […]
