Naveen Selvadurai, co-founder of Foursquare, offered up advice at this year’s SXSW conference about living with the constant data bombardment we face every day. In his words, there’s no stopping the data fire hose, but there are ways to cope. After making some suggestions he pointed out that it helps to have a “killer ‘fro like mine; chicks dig it. Well, that plus my millions of dollars. But you know.” Words to live by.

It helps to have a killer ‘fro and live in the fast-lane. Yeah chicks dig that. Sorry, what was the question again …?

Foursquare Adds Recommendations

Media_httptctechcrunc_pujru

Foursquare, the mobile application that allows you to check into locations around town like a lab-rat in a maze, can now tell you where to go as well. Now that’s a feature! Impress your friends by earning meaningless badges. Get drunk at your favorite watering hole and post compromising picturesRobert Scoble does it. Who are you to decide it’s a pointless waste of time?

2011: The Year Android Explodes! Killing Innocent Women, Children, And iPhone Users

“Ever-improving networks and a big hardware announcement that will send handset prices plummeting both point to smartphone growth in 2011 that could totally eclipse anything we’ve seen before.” – Fortune Online

While this article from Fortune Magazine focuses on the practicalities of the see-saw battle between the iPhone and the growing army of Android-powered devices, all I know is that I can feel the momentum building; and not just in the public domain but in my own house.

Even I feel as if even I am approaching the tipping point at which open Android apps will match, and maybe surpass, the exquisite but closed matrix of creativity from Steve Jobs and company.

We’ll see if I really change my mind. One thing for sure: it will be a close call.

Service of Process.. there’s an App for that

iPhone App and desktop software CivilMap is designed to bring efficiency and certainty to process serving … at lease in Colorado and Utah.

I’m not convinced that the system will work as intended, but the idea is a valid one.

Google Maps 5.0 (Android)

As a loyal iPhone user and Mac-head this is not easy for me; but here goes.  Google Maps for Android 5.0 looks amazing. Frankly I think that much of what Google does these days is a footnote to its search and advertising empire … but this is potentially huge. And when a company can actually say that it offers 3D real-time mapping on a mobile phone, well, they’re entitled to their accomplishment as a game changer. So check out this video for a closer look at the technology and prepare to be seriously impress.

P.S. Apple, please take the hint. iPhone is beginning to look a little shabby here. Be careful or Google may eat your lunch … again.
