Stockpickr

Categories: Social Networks, Stocks, Technology

I’ve been playing around with Stockpickr for a few weeks after reading about it on TechCrunch.  I like it so far although I’m not sure if I really trust it. While I like that it gives me an alternate source for info and that it gives me the opportunity to glimpse into the portfolios of … Read More

MyBlogLog

Categories: Tech Reviews, Technology

To me the purchase MyBlogLog by Yahoo is a sign of ‘irrational exuberance‘ similar to that of the late 90s tech bubble. I really question the validity of MyBlogLog and some of the other ‘social networking’ sites. Is MyBlogLog providing real value?
