Tech News Tuesday - The last of the firsts

Hooray, it’s Tech News Tuesday. This is the last of the first posting for my new daily categories, so the feeds for each day will be up by the end of the week (day?). So here’s how Tech News Tuesday (TNT) works, first I point to a couple stories I found interesting in the past week, then if I feel like it I’ll post re: things happening today. Ready?

1. I don’t really listen to Howard Stern but for those that do: Howard’s going to stream his show to the internet for free for a couple days. I don’t know how I feel about this, seems to be another instance of Sirius saying ‘this howard thing isn’t working out.’ A little bit desperate and an attempt to get people to care about Howard again when really we don’t need him.
2. Not really news, but you’re not the only one that thinks LinkedIn Sucks. Coding Horror has a nice write up of the frustrations of LinkedIn. I’ve been on LinkedIn for just over a week and from a user stand point I really don’t think it’s the best (but I’ll save that for website wednesday).
3. Judy’s Book made a bit of a switch from primarily local reviews focused to increased local deals focus, and at first the users got angry. It reminded me of the Digg and FaceBook threatened user revolts of earlier this year. However, JB’s damage control was pretty great.
4. And I think Google bought some sort of Tube company.

More to come…
