// Thursday, October 29th, 2009 by Sarah Lane

Yeah, just watch the video and you’ll see what all my fuss is about.

The transcripts only get worse from there, btw. I used my own voice thinking somehow it would work more accurately? Yeeeeeah NO.

// Monday, October 5th, 2009 by Sarah Lane

Social networks are getting more creative as new sites come up with unique angles to connect people (and get attention). I took a look at two fun new services that you might like, especially if you’re sick of Twitter and Facebook! Enjoy:

Here’s my full story on Current Tech, with links.

By the way, I should point out that both Twitter and Facebook are evolving as social networks, too. Here’s my tutorial on how Facebook’s new tagging feature works, and a recent video on all the apps you can try to make Twitter more useful. I’m an equal opportunity social networker! Or something.

Sorry, something’s wrong with me today. But I hope you enjoyed my latest Current Tech video! Here’s my full story and website links.

By the way, the green cardigan I’m wearing? Retails for $198 and I got it for free. Watch my shopping tricks video to find out how I did it!

Yahoo Meme: Out of Ideas?

// Tuesday, September 29th, 2009 by Sarah Lane

Hello friends and neighbors. Today’s Current Tech video is all about creativity (or lack thereof). Take a gander… am I being a bully? I don’t think I am. I think I’m just calling it.

Here’s a link to my full story on Current Tech. This isn’t the first time I’ve accused a big company of ripping off a smaller company, by the way. Maybe I’m just a bitter old woman.

Mag.ma – All the videos you love, plus the ones you don’t

// Wednesday, September 9th, 2009 by Sarah Lane

Sick of YouTube? Tired of trolling Vimeo? Worn out on BuzzFeed? Well, what if you could access all the videos these sites had to offer (plus a lot more) in one magical place? You can, with a new video discovery service called Mag.ma (brought to you by the Rocketboom folks, in case you were wondering). I figured I’d give Mag.ma a whirl and share my findings with you.
