Shelfster vs Evernote — Well, Sort Of

Shelfster vs Evernote | Online, Offline Note Taking, Note Sharing We are obvious Evernote fans here at 40Tech – but that doesn’t mean we aren’t open to other options! Recently we were contacted by the good folks at Shelfster, and asked if we might be interested in doing a review on their “application which allows you to easily organise and share with others your favorite information from the web, offline documents or real world”. They even provided us with 10 invitations to their private beta for our readers! We took their app for a spin, and found that Shelfster is pretty cool, overall. Have a read through and let us know what you think in the comments.

The first 10 comments with a raised hand will get the invite link.

A Tech Morning Show – Coming Soon

TWiT morning show What’s your morning entertainment routine?  Do you listen to the radio, or watch television in the a.m?  If you’re disappointed by the offerings, have you ever wished for a a morning show that focused on tech and social media?  If so, you just might get your wish.

On various shows on the TWiT network, Leo Laporte recently has mentioned that he is in the planning stages of starting a morning show that you could watch on almost any internet-connected device.  We’ve previously written about the TWiT network, an internet network that streams live audio and video shows that cover all angles of technology, including the internet, Apple, Microsoft, Google, security, and more.  The network, a spiritual successor of sorts to TechTV, makes its shows available live, but also via audio and video podcasts (actually, the podcasts came first, followed by the live streaming).

The Results Are In — And We Love You For It!

Virtual Coookies for 40Tech Readers! Thanks to everyone who participated in our awesome two-question survey last week — we got a pretty decent sample and are excited by the results! We discovered that, overall, we are generally talking to the more wise or wizened among us, but there is also a healthy dose of youthfulness about. It just goes to show that good content rises above age barriers (whether perceived or otherwise); and we love that you guys and gals find us to be worth your time to read.

This information has been invaluable for our pending redesign. Not to worry tried and true’s: we are keeping the same great content — but it will be presented to you in a clearer, cleaner and (hopefully) even more inviting way. We plan to bring you more great stuff more often, too, so if you’re interested in writing for 40Tech, let us try you out with a guest post or two!

Thanks again — and virtual cookies for all!

Are You Less Social (Media) Because You’re Older?

social media privacy According to tech pundits, location-based apps are "the next big thing."  Location based apps like Gowalla and Foursquare, which allow you to "check in" to locations and venues via your mobile device, and share with your friends or the world at large, are all the rage.  Other apps share even more personal information, such as your spending habits.  Blippy, for example, lets other people see and discuss what you’re buying, after you enter in credit card information and other types of accounts.  How comfortable do YOU feel with the new round of social media apps?

How Social (Media) Are You?

I heart social media | How Social Media are You? | 40Tech With the multitude of social media platforms out there (some big, some huge, some alternative), and the advent and subsequent takeover of social sharing, it is a pretty good bet that anyone of you reading this article has subscribed to or tried out a few of them (Facebook, at the very least). But how truly social are you online?

Here’s a test:
