One of the most talked about rules that just about every new blogger will hear being thrown around like it is some damn commandment is that you need to be original. the second has to be the one...

Bitching about Twitter is so last year, now it's all about FriendFeed

Wow There Is A World Beyond Social Media

Nov 30, 1999
I really like writing and opinionating about technology. For me it feeds the creative need that once was funneled into doing software development. It also gives me a way to vent about the things that bother me about technology...

How Not To Be Liked On FriendFeed

Nov 30, 1999

“Traduttore, traditore”. It’s Italian, and it can be translated into English as “translator, betrayer” – but it loses the pun, which is the whole point of its meaning. As you all know by now, I am French, and I have lived in France all my...

  Steven Hodson has been an old, cranky Canadian fart on the internet longer than you. He knows a lot about a lot of things, and always delivers cutting, thoughtful articles on social media, software, and the internet at large. Always fun to read, and with lots of lively conversation. Steven also believes strongly in giving back.. he is always reviewing new blogs and linking up new articles.
