“Is the one that’s with you.” Chase Jarvis
Chase Jarvis is a talented (actually very talented) professional photographer. In a clever move he has released three connected products that are likely to get quite some “social media” traction.
After many years of paying for content either as newspapers or magazines I have now decided not to pay for any. Everything you could possibly wants is free on the internet. So I have become more sophisticated how I obtain and consume content.
Here is a list of some of the great services and applications that have been built around Twitter. Using them will really enhance your Twitter experience.
eBooks will be the next big thing. The world is now used to buying music in bytes rather than atoms through the power of the iPod and iPhone. Books will be next.

Pixelmator is a great alternative to Photoshop Elements for Mac users. I first posted about it here.
