Flickr is one of those web services that almost everyone uses, yet it feels like no one talks about. Before Apple had PhotoStream or Google had Picasa, people shared photos via Flickr. Acquired back in 2005 by Yahoo, the image and video sharing site was slowly been getting eclipsed by newer, flashier services. Until yesterday, […]

So, how do you become relevant again? People have moved on from your email service. Gmail is all set with Google, and […]

The company introduced a personal storage device called the STOR.E CLOUD that looks kind-of sort-of interesting. Is the general consumer really building personal clouds though? This is a device that appeals to me, but I don’t see a […]
