Digg used to be the place to go to get your fill on social news, but lately, in conjunction with the release of Digg v4, it’s been down more often than a $5 hooker.

In the rings of social news, in the previous version Digg was tolerable, old, but tolerable. Now Digg is supposed to be new and improved and have more appeal- it doesn’t.

There’s been reports of corruption and rigging at Digg for a long time. They said with the latest release all that was going to change…

In the world of Smartphones I really love to see the redundancy in applications. Smartphones; there’s basically 3-4 competing operating systems for the Smartphone, and what’s fascinating about it’s the fact that developers are having to write the same code over and over just to put it on each phone.

It’s the PC world all over again, but now in the world of Smartphones.

People are making comparisons on which Smartphone operating system is the best, which one is better, but the fact is- it doesn’t matter everyone is using the same applications.

The applications are the thing that are making the phones attractive in the first place. The applications are in the position to make or break the success of the Smartphone.

I’m an owner of an Android phone, and over the last couple weeks I’ve had the firmware for Android for version 2.2; I downloaded it early and applied it to my phone before the official release was sent out.

I reported on some things that noticed with the upgrade, everything does far has been okay, with the exclusion of several applications that just haven’t been updated by the developers.

But what I want to mention right now, is that I believe that with the latest update, and I’m not sure how, but I believe that the voice recognition with the latest release of Google Android is doing very well.

I visit the forums for Windows Live Writer a lot to attempt to help others where Windows Live Writer lacks some native abilities or if some people are just lost on how to use the application [since theirs no help manual].

But there’s a reoccurring issue/question in the forum about not being able to establish PAGES for BLOGGER from inside Windows Live Writer.

For some reason, the Windows Live Writer team just hasn’t gotten around to that yet, but there was a comment left the other day about how someone else did it, but it didn’t cover the issue of inserting images or other media…

So I offer this…

There was an article posted recently about the cable user subscriptions and I think the information holds true. With the investments in technology and with the Internet providing just about any type of media form that you’re looking for, it makes perfect sense that the large TV Networks should be highly concerned over the future of subscriptions.

The basis of the TV Networks has been to sell advertising in Specific time frames during the most popular TV shows, but with providers that are purely based over the Internet, you’re dealing with a whole new market of consumer.

These consumers were focused on having video on demand, watching events when they want to watch them and choosing which media outlets they want to pay for.

From the time that Windows Live Writer was released, in December of 2008, there’s been a consistent request that Windows Live Writer be a portable application so that you can use it on just about any USB device.

The request was made over and over to the Windows Live Writer development team, but 20 months after the release of Windows Live Writer diehard bloggers still not have been provided with an answer to their requests.

Instead an independent person decided to create a workaround that would allow Windows Live Writer to be placed onto a USB drive/jumpdrive; essentially making it portable. The workaround solution launches Windows Live Writer in a encapsulated environment, it captures the registry, data directories in various other settings that would normally be written to the local PC, captures that and stores it locally on the USB drive.

I don’t know that there’s anything more concerning to me than what Facebook, Twitter and Google Buzz.

It’s not enough that people are out there in the world, on the Internet, sharing information and conversing with their Internet buddies, but do they need to know where you are, when your doing it?

But wait, all this information is going through a server somewhere; it’s being stored and tracked and used for digital profiling- it has to be… What corporation in their right mind would pass up the chance to reference that kind of data?

Another release of Windows Live Writer has come out and the Windows Live Writer development team has made only small changes thus far.

I’d speculate that Windows Live Writer is going to be in beta for a while longer… The startup/splash screen for Windows Live Writer now says ‘Windows Live Writer 2011’; and that’s fascinating news.

If that’s the case, we’re looking at a full blown/official release of Windows Live Writer around last quarter [late] of 2010; that’s right at 2 years between releases… Initial release was December of 2008. That’s not a very ambitious release schedule.

So what are we noticing with the latest Beta release?

And what things are we still waiting for?
