In summary, this site may just be my first stop when it comes to questions and issues with future or current devices I may have. Take a look at the video below to see gdgt in action. Will you be using gdgt? Follow me on gdt as well.

So, what is gdgt? from gdgt on Vimeo.

Tracking what is popular on the internet is very easy with splurb. Splurb is a cross-referenced list of the social web’s most popular links. To get listed, a link must be popular on at least two social websites. After that, Links are sorted by popularity over time and sized by number of sources. This then becomes a very valuable because you can monitor what is hot in the news and within social web/media circles. The topics range from Business, Entertainment, Humor, Gaming and others. You can also adjust the number of sources you require for a story to hit your screen. The maximum is five and minimum is two. splurb currently indexes Digg, RedReddit, Mixx, Propeller, TweetMeme, Yahoo Buzz and Fark. Therefore, you don’t need to visit these sites but come to one hub. Try it out and let me know what you think.

Once you open up the app, it quickly loads up all of your media (from the most recent to the oldest), allows you to click on the description of the media and then add it to your queue for uploading. Distributing the media to the proper source is simple as you just set up the tags within your settings. After that, tag the media with its intended source (@12seconds for 12 seconds tv, @facebook for facebook, and so on.) and watch it upload. Simple and very accurate and reliable. There is also a camera option from which you can take pictures and immediately upload them as well.

Pixelpipe continues to improve as they have recently added time based grouping of media for Twitter posts, inline geo-location & previous upload stream. This app is availabel on the iPhone, Android and Windows Mobile platform. I hope you enjoyed a small description of how I use Pixelpipe. Do you have any Pixelpipe stories to share?

I was browsing one of my favorite music business sites yesterday and ran across this sweet video. I have been a loyal subscriber to Sports Illustrated since 1986 (the episode with childhood icon Len Bias was my first issue ironically). Take a look at the video below to see how far this publication has come and how it continues to thrive as numerous magazine publications have gone out of business. The detail and sheer volume of one digital issue makes my head spin. As a sports lover with an affection for timely photographer, this has me officially excited in a big way. What are your thoughts?

I must admit, I am late to the game in learning about Dropbox. Starting in late 2008 and leading into 2009, this application has been getting some great buzz. In simple terms, Dropbox is a file syncing system that allows you to carry your files with you 24/7. You can have your iphone (or any mobile phone), or just web-access and your files are there waiting for you. If you are really into programming you can design some scripts which really turn on the power of Dropbox. For me personally, I use dropbox to carry around my podcast episodes and photographs that I need to use consistently. Specifically, with photographs, it provides the perfect syncing system for getting your mobile phone photos to your computer in a timely fashion without having to use the USB cord. Imagine if you didn’t have a USB cord and you were on the road. As I continue to learn more about this service, I implement it into my daily life. As I prepare to travel for the holidays, many times I find myself at a friends or relatives house and I want to share with them videos that I have acquired … Dropbox makes this easy for me. As 2010 approaches, job searching season will pickup steam. I will have two different resumes loaded in dropbox for easy access at any location I happen to be at. No more waiting to get home to get the right resume version and then sending it out. Just access it, create and email and hit send. As simple as that. I will be headed to the World Cup 2010 in South Africa and all of my itineraries and accommodation info is already in dropbox. I plan to add all photos and videos as well to dropbox during my trip which will automatically have my info backed up.

I am slowly falling in love with dropbox. Take a look at these five creative ways to use dropbox and this quick video as well.

Many of us (including myself) have been caught up in the Foursquare frenzy and continue to update our daily stops and visits as we climb the leaderboard. Even CNN has declared Foursquare the next big thing in 2010. As of yesterday, there are now $8.4 million reasons to pay attention to Gowalla. The main difference between Gowalla (based in Austin, Texas) and Foursquare is that Gowalla users can participate anywhere they are connected. Gowalla is available for both Apple’s iPhone and the Android platform, and has approximately 50,000 active members in only ten weeks.  Also, note the high-profile angel investors for Gowalla which include – Jason Calcanis (founder of Santa Monica-based Mahalo) Ron Conway, Kevin Rose, Gary Varynerchuck, Shervin Pishevar and Chris Sacca, and venture firms Greylock Partners, Shasta Ventures, Maples Investments, Alsop-Louie Partners, and Founders Fund. This brings total investment into Gowalla at $10 million. Conversely, Foursquare has $1.35 Million raised as of September 2009.

The interface to use Gowalla is clean and very easy to use. It connects seamlessly to your Facebook or twitter account which maximizes sharing opportunities. One cool thing I have noticed is that you can acquire items within your “passport” tabs (you also get stamps for your passport as you travel along)and pass them along and share them. Then once you tap on the item, you can find out where they have been and who has them. After that, you can decide whether or not to leave the item where you are or keep it for your next stop. There is also a Top-10 Leaderboard for every place you visit and it will also show you how many check-ins you need to climb the Leaderboard. Upon further inspection, there are different “trips” for different cities in the country. I am waiting for a mission in Los Angeles (when will this happen??). You can also acquire different awards within the trips section like Wanderer (check in a five different spots), Code Monkey (check-in at five technology startups) and Engineer (check-in at ten technology start ups). As you can see, there is a huge lean towards tech startups.

Gowalla 1.3 is available now in the Apple app store. Check it out and leave your thoughts and comments below. Also, watch this video for a quick demonstration on how to use Gowalla.
