RFI: NY Startups for Holiday Deals

CenterNetworks -- If you are a regular reader of CN, you know that I am a deal hunter. Black Friday brings back memories of my tent parties each year in college where I would organize trips at 3am to wait outside shops looking for the best deals. I offered coffee, a chair and more for a few dollars. Since I launched CN, Ive offered holiday deals where startups offered discounts during December. This year Id like to...     10:50

CenterNetworks -- TweetMeme, the service built completely on top of Twitter, has been down for over half a day as of the time of this posting. I first noticed that the service was having issues midday Tuesday when the little retweet button wasnt being displayed on our stories. I noticed the button was also missing on Mashable.

Welcome New Twitter User. Now Get Lost!

CenterNetworks -- When I review startups and/or services, I like to make sure I review them from the perspective of the target user. With that said, last weekend I decided to take a look at what a new Twitter user would experience. One thing is clearTwitter seems to want to push new users away. The overall design and experience just screams get lost to a new user. Even if we look at average users (like myself), its...     11-25

What’s Up With Yahoo Mail Delivery?

CenterNetworks -- I am a happy Yahoo Mail user. Ive been a Yahoo Mail user since the early days. I also know that I am a bad tech blogger and early adopter because I dont use (and make love to) Gmail. I regularly get noogies at tech conferences when others learn about my choice. Lately Ive noticed issues with email delivery to my Yahoo Mail account. Sometimes emails are delivered on time, but many are delivered lat...     11-20

Izea Adds Sandwich Disclosure Requirement

CenterNetworks -- Yesterday we took a look at two paid posts from British Airways run through the Izea SocialSpark program. One of the comments I made was around how the paid disclosure is referenced. Izea required that the paid post badge be added to the bottom of the post. My suggestion for clarity was to add a clear notice that the post is paid/sponsored at the top of the post. Last night I received an email fro...     11-18

Just What Did British Airways Buy?

CenterNetworks -- Ive flown on British Airways three times and all three flights went well. The last time on British Airways was in 2006 and was a short hop from Venice to London and I remember the crew making the trip smooth for someone who really doesnt enjoy flying. So it was a shock to learn that an airline that has a good reputation is buying reviews and paid posts. I decided to take a look at two posts, one f...     11-18

“This Lottery Machine Gonna Get Someone Killed”

CenterNetworks -- Over the past month or so, New York State has started rolling out a new lottery machine at lottery retailers around the state. The old machines were in service for (as best as I can remember) at least 15 years. Ive also learned that the lottery in New York is the largest lottery in the U.S. From a customer perspective, the new machines are faster and use less paper than the old clunkers. The old l...     11-14

Let’s Watch Twitter Become FriendFeed

CenterNetworks -- It seems the hot Twitter news of the day is that the service might be slowing in U.S. growth. You can read the Twitter stats story on Mashable and TheNextWeb. Earlier in the week the big news for the so-called social media experts was the on and off status of the new retweet architecture system. Twitter turned it on for many users (I was not one of them) but then turned it off so they could fix so...     11-13

5 Things You Shouldn’t Do With a Satellite Connection

CenterNetworks -- As Ive mentioned a few times before, I am stuck with a satellite Internet connection at home. DSL and FIOS are distant fantasies, cable comes to the end of my driveway and stops (they refuse to run it any further, and wont let me run it myself) and a T1 line is just way out of my price range. So, Im stuck dealing with huge latency and bottom-of-the-barrel high speed Internet service. For everyone ...     11-13
