One of my favorite Tech News sites is the inronically named blah, blah! technology. Ironic in that there is nothing boring or uninteresting about the info and opinions found here.

Where other sites just echo news from elsewhere, blah, blah! technology is full of original commentary - this is no retread news site. Author Wayne Smallman does a great job of distilling big topics into concise articles that help put things into real perspective. A daily read for me, highly recommended.

Wayne is also the author of the Socialize Me Wordpress plugin which we’ll be reviewing later.

Desktop RSS reader FeedDemon (Win) and NetNewsWire (Mac), along with a full suite of other nifty products are now available as free downloads fron newsgator.

I’ve been using Google Reader for a long while but the feature set and functionality FeedDemon promises has earned it at least a trial run, and so far so good. I like the idea of offline access without the bother of installing Google Gears, yet I can also view and synchronize with a newsgator account.

If you need an intro course on RSS - get up to speed at the learning center.

The Open Handset Alliance and their Android platform could revolutionize the mobile industry. If you are as intrigued as I, you’ll probably want to keep an eye on the androidguys, a site dedicated to news and opinion on the Android project.

It’s a great way to keep up to date as they do all of the hard work by scouring the web and then putting it all into one place. The podcasts are also a nice touch if you’re into that sort of thing.

This is hot off the press today. Jaiku announced that they are being snatched-up by the Google meisters. It’s a bit surprising or perhaps brilliant is a better word. Jaiku, essentially a lesser-known version of Twitter has been more on the fringe, now for a price certainly lower than the cost of acquiring Twitter is now being brought into the fold. Jaiku temporarily has closed their doors to new sign-ups. Never fear however, just leave comment and I’ll shoot you over one of my last ones.

Coming this Fall, 360desktop is going live into Beta mode. This nifty application will likely provide a revolutionary function to those of us cramped by our current computer desktops. As a developer I’ve used as many as three monitors for a single machine and still could have appreciated more screen space. I look forward to the premiere of this beta release.
