Friday Blogwatch

I know it's been a while. My wife and I found out we're pregnant and it's been a little bit of a whirlwind these last couple of weeks! It's an exciting time for us and we're just thrilled about starting a family.

But, life keeps moving and there is so much happening. This issue of Friday Blogwatch is dedicated the new and improved that is out on the market now. You should be checking these things out!

Have you tried Windows 7?
The new Microsoft product is on the market, and, at least at the outset, people seem to be excited about it. Sales were 234% better than Vista at it's debut. Those are significant numbers. Microsoft needs the good press, too. With Apple really stepping up the Apple/PC advertising, there is certainly a point to be made in the Microsoft camp. We'll see if W7 is the product to make it.

Google helping out with Twitter Lists
Twitter's new List functionality is helpful, efficient, and smart. And Google, true to form, has stepped up to make it easier to use and manage. Google will alert you about activity in your TwitLists, allowing you to keep doing whatever it is your doing instead of constantly surveying your tweets in fear of missing something important. Good job, Google.

Finally, Dislike in Facebook
How many times have we watched a stupid video, listened to a terrible song, or put up with our friend's annoying status, yearning for the opportunity to tell them what we really think. Well, if you're a Firefox browser, now you can. There is a new plug-in for Firefox that allows you to Dislike any item on the News Feed. One major drawback is that other users must also have the plug-in in order to see your unfavorable opinions, but the plug-in does work within Facebook and not a separate party program, which many FF plug-ins have been known to do.

Have a great week-end everybody!
