I’m not surprised a day after the redesign, I lost things our company developed, and I couldn’t find other apps I use. It’s not well pointed out that apps [...]

Although I’ve been a bigger fan of Reddit lately (I like how it has a sub-reddit for just about anything, including social media). This just came through my Twitter account, via Read Write Web. Digg just launched a new toolbar to make sharing easier. I’m a little toolbared out at the moment, but I may [...]
