Facebook Ads Reach 62.4% of All Online Americans

Thumbnail image for Facebook Ads Reach 62.4% of All Online Americans

Online reach of social network advertising is growing rapidly, and Facebook is the glaring winner – for now. A study published by comScore on October 20th shows that Facebook ads reach 62.4% of all Americans online – 10 times as many of those who are on LinkedIn, and 20 times as many of those who are on Twitter.

Steve Jobs introduces the new Apple.TV

Thumbnail image for Steve Jobs introduces the new Apple.TV

Steve Jobs introduced the new and improved Apple TV at the Apple September 2010 Music Event – it’s a media streamer, rather than an actual TV – with the ability to stream content instead of store content, which makes sense when you think of the enormous file sizes involved with full-length TV shows and movies.

After studying what Apple TV users really want, Apple decided to introduce a new version with new and improved features including HD, lower prices for content, and Hollywood movies and TV [...]

As of September 15th, Facebook Chat will no longer be supported in IE 6 (Internet Explorer browser version 6).

The Kenyan Farmer, His Potato Crop…and Facebook

Thumbnail image for The Kenyan Farmer, His Potato Crop…and Facebook

So last week, I had coffee with a friend who told me about a program he heard on NPR (our national public radio show for those of you in other lands) – and a story about a Kenyan farmer who saved his potato crop by sheer willpower. I was so intrigued by the story, I went home, got online and Googled “Kenyan farmer potato crop” – and found Zack Matere and his inspiring story… Zack lives in Seregaya, Kenya, an agricultural community where his potato crop was in danger from an unknown pest. “I cycled 10km to the local cyber [...]
