Facebook now allowing to be indexed

In: Tech

Facebook pushed out a new change this morning that I think will be somewhat interesting to see the effects of. Your Facebook profile will now show up on Google and other search engine’s results. While it won’t have your full profile indexed (sorry, doing a search for “drunk skydiving” won’t pull up your profile), anyone […]

Orbiting Around Facebook

In: Tech

Standing on one leg, Facebook made a couple changes to its API, which is the way other developers (like me) can write programs that Facebook users can use.
That’s it. A couple API changes. Removing a couple minor features which were annoying end-users, discussing some future changes.
Putting my foot down, I’m left with nothing more […]

If only it actually worked…

We just have to beat them.

In: Tech

Since we released our Facebook application to the wild, our numbers have been steadily growing. Not in the 1000s a day, but enough to give me and my co-developer on this project some pride
Of course, we have one primary goal in mind, for now. We gotta beat PMS-o-meter.

Comcast Hinders BitTorrent Traffic

In: DC, Tech

I hate Comcast.If another high speed provider were to come along, offer untouched bandwidth and decent customer service (sorry Verizon), Comcast would be finished. Hell, you could even charge triple the price.

Personal Area Networking

In: Ideas, Tech

While I believe the setup (and the limited range of Bluetooth) makes this particular implementation of questionable value, I believe that the idea of locating users by immediate area is awesome. I wouldn’t use this for finding new people who are in my area. Instead, I would prefer an application that would pop-up when a […]

NYT: click a word, any word…

In: Tech

I was reading an article about a passenger revolt on a Continental flight (reading articles like this makes it painfully obvious why the American airline industry is in deep trouble, and it’s all their own doing). I noticed at the bottom of the article, a small little tip:

Facebook and the Work/Life Balance

In: Tech

Continuing on from yesterday, I was going to go on a rant about my personal thoughts on social networking - mainly related to the difference between professional and personal social networks. While some look for a one-stop shop, I am quite happy having one social network for professional needs (LinkedIn) and one for my personal […]

Hi there!

My name is Zvi Band (pronounced zuh-vee), and I write this blog. You'll hear me talk about technology, social media, digital strategy, and entrepreneurship, all of which I am interested in.

I recently graduated (Go Terps!) and am working full time, however my heart lies in entrepreneurship. Watch me!

Everything I say is my own personal opinion, and should be treated as such. In this blog, what I say is not representative of my employer, clients, or anyone else other than myself.
