Want to Find Out if Your Friend is Really a Zombie? There’s an App for That

It is always wise to keep the possibility of a zombie invasion open; it’s usually the people who don’t believe in zombies that are the first to be eaten. To make matters worse, they’re not only eaten, but devoured by the people they thought were their friends; and perhaps they were friends, before one couldn’t help but stalk their friend down and start feasting on their meaty arm.

Luckily, there is now an iPhone app that could possibly save your life in the case of a zombie attack. Max Brooks’ bestselling book The Zombie Survival Guide is now a free iPhone app.

The Zombie Survival Guide Scanner is an app from the Crown Publishing Group that uses the iPhone’s rear camera to take a picture of someone and “scan” their face to illustrate …

BlogHer 2010 Voices of the Year Gala and Art Auction Curated by Kirtsy

If you’re heading to New York City to attend the sixth annual BlogHer conference August 6th and 7th, you will need to make a note in your presumably chaotic agenda for the night of August 6th.

If you have attended BlogHer in the past, or just know a lot about it from seeing it being blogged about practically everywhere or have a few friends who have attended the conferences and just had to share every single detail with you, you know that in 2008 a tradition was created–the Community Keynote. This year will be no different, but after two years of receiving hundreds of submissions for the Community Keynote and going through the agonizing process of narrowing the list of entries down to just 15 to 20, this year’s …

5 Podcasts You Should be Listening to

There are countless podcasts making their presence known on the internet. Regardless of your interests, you can find a podcast (or 50) that you can quickly become addicted to and like your favorite television show, not be able to miss an episode of. Podcasts bring back the love of radio, where we pay more attention to the words people have to say than the pictures we’re seeing on a screen. But radio isn’t cool anymore, now that it has become a giant business of deception and the people have always been more entertaining than the hired hands telling the people what they want to listen to.

The question is–what podcasts do you listen to? What are the top-rated podcasts that have claimed the attention and hearts of those who have been listening to it since its inception and what podcasts should you be listening to that …

Mark Zuckerberg Interviewed by Diane Sawyer as Site Reaches 500 Million Users

Facebook has reached 500 million users, making it the most popular social website on the internet (by a long shot.) To celebrate the tremendous milestone, not only will Facebook launch Facebook Stories, a website within Facebook that will sort user-submitted stories and feature them for all to see, but Facebook CEO, infamously camera shy Mark Zuckerberg, also sat down for an interview with ABC News’ Diane Sawyer.

Sawyer asked Zuckerberg about the recent lawsuit pending in the Supreme Court of Allegany County, New York, that claims Zuckerberg had signed a contract to sign over 84% of ownership over Facebook. Here’s what he had to say about what has already been called a pretty ridiculous lawsuit across the board:…

Awesome Discount Codes for Domain Names, Web Hosting, Marketing Tools and More from NameNova

There are countless websites out there where you can purchase domain names, web hosting, email accounts, marketing tools and pretty much everything else you’ll need to get your website up and running. Literally, countless. Sure, there are some heavy hitters out there that dominate the market, but there are also little morsels of goodness out there that, while lesser-known than a chosen few, still deliver the same thing with excellent quality. Not to mention, a lot of them are a great deal cheaper.

NameNova is one of those little morsels of goodness and is actually where I purchase all of my domain names–and I have quite a few. Of course what I love most about NameNova is that while I may pay almost $11 for a domain name anywhere else, with NameNova I pay $8 and …

Facebook Stories will Celebrate 500 Million Users

Facebook has quickly become the most popular social website and next week, they will reach the tremendously impressive milestone of having 500 million users. This time last year, the site had just reached 200 million users and five months ago, 400 million people were logging onto Facebook.

To celebrate 500 million users, Randi Zuckerberg, the marketing guru behind Facebook, gave an interview to All Things Digital’s BoomTown blog, saying that to celebrate its number of users, the company wants it to be all about the users. The initiative she’s talking about is Facebook Stories.

From Mashable:
“Facebook Stories will be a website within Facebook that’ll sort actual, submitted user stories by location and theme. Theme examples given included “finding love” and “natural disasters.” Each story will be limited to the same number of characters a Facebook status …
