In March I decided to spend 4 weeks wearing a Nike Fuelband, Jawbone Up, Fitbit One, and Bodymedia armband simultaneously so that I could compare the most popular activity trackers.

I found out about Daily Mugshot today via Emily Chang’s eHub. Here’s a great simple idea that is implemented beautifully. Use your webcam to snap daily pitures of yourself and chronicle them. I recently bought me a sweet new Logitech QuickCam 9000 webcam and have been having some fun hangin’ out at Yahoo’s new Live …
Let’s just say that when I first signed up for Twitter, I was less than impressed. Besides the cool SMS nature of the service, which I wasn’t using, it just seemed like a very limited group IM web platform to me. It didn’t seem like a very useful service to me either, since I basically …
Reader David Beach alerted me about Chirp.com which offers a cool little screensaver application. Once you have downloaded and installed the software, you can add your accounts for Flickr, Twitter, and Facebook.
