If you’re like me (and probably Ted) and are a bit of a social media junkie, at some point you may have tried out the Web browser named Flock. I remember trying it out when it first was released and it was more of a Flickr browser. I thought, “Cool” then promptly used it [...]

“Go Ping Me” - the Best Alternative to “I Want Sandy” ?

Posted by Ted  Published in Couchworkers, Software

After a weekend of scrambling to find a replacement for “I Want Sandy,” the fantastic email reminder service that’s now being closed, I think I finally hit upon a winner.
