The Death of EMAIL

It is always interesting to see how technology evolves and how our behaviors evolve with it. This article in Slate is touting the death of email as the growth of social networks such as Facebook continue. The youth of today want IMs and social networks not the plodding of email.

I wonder if even blogging will soon be passe or is Facebook the merging of blogging and IMing?  My suggestion to everyone is to keep up with the technology so you can understand it. Get a Facebook / Myspace page and understand how it works. You may find that it has more uses than you could imagine.

Oh yeah, the badge below is my facebook page:

And Now for Something Completely Different.... GOOGLE SMS!!

A very good feature of GOOGLE which I was unaware of until today is the ability to search via SMS message. You send the message to GOOGL (46645) and you query it. So, if I wanted to find a pizza in Andover, MA, I would send the SMS message to 46645 and in the text I would send: pizza 01810. Google would return the locations of pizza joints in Andover.

That is innovative and very useful. It has things such as driver directions, weather, word definitions etc. You can read more about it at Google SMS.
