Week 4: Puffy Clouds

Text via Email

On the most recent episode of Tekzilla they mentioned something about emailing people messages which are received as a text message on your cell phone. I thought this was really cool so I thought I would share. Although the one carrier that would be really cool would be AT&T.

Are You Internet Famous?

Wired has made a cool little app that will rate how famous you are based on webpages linking to you, your friends across social networks, and pages linking to your photos. It's kind of like a SEO tool but for people rather that companies or sites. Defiantly a fun way for you and your nerdy friends to compare your popularity (RL Popularity < Internet Popularity).
