Due to its speed and distributed nature, Twitter is absolutely great at disseminating and spreading breaking news. Because of that, there are a bunch of sites trying to aggregate links on Twitter in an attempt at turning it into the next Digg or Techmeme. Twitter, though, is not very well suited to telling us what the crowd likes. Sites that rely on the “retweet†in order to rank links come the closest, since retweeting can be looked at as an implicit vote for that link (much like the backlinks used by Techmeme or Google). Retweet-based aggregators that look at the entire timeline are still kind of clumsy, though. They’re scattershot in the links they uncover and don’t do a great job at consistently showing me things I am interested in.

Dialing 411 from your cell phone is an expensive proposition. T-Mobile and Verizon both charge $1.49 per call while AT&T and Sprint both charge $1.79 per call – plus tax. If you ask for additional numbers or want the number sent to you via text message the price goes up.
411 is a secret cash cow for the wireless carriers. It’s their dirty little secret. Combined they make roughly $8 billion a year from 411 calls.
Lazily many of us use 411 as our personal phone books. Even when we have already called 411 once for a particular number – we often call again for the same number Read more…

Many of today’s small businesses use PCs and a server network to facilitate their operations. Important company information is stored in electronic format on these networks, and daily operations are dependent on the network being both available and secure.

As the backbone of your organisation’s information technology infrastructure, your IT network needs to be kept at optimum performance level. Productivity and profit could be lost, not to mention customers and staff, if your IT is creating work for everyone instead of reducing it, by failing to provide the efficiencies it was designed for, or worse, not protecting you from catastrophic loss of data.
Why are we networked?
