Brown Is The New Nano Teacher

The last thing I thought you'd hear me say is "oh you should go to the UPS site it some great little chunks of intel' there." But indeed that is what I'm about to tell you. UPS has partnered with credible companies such as Mashable, TechDirt, VentureBeat & Small Business Trends to put together a great little video series called "Seizing Opportunites Videos" – Andy Azula might have been better to ask on the name but I digress. Check it out!

The $50 Alpha – looking like it's worth every penny.

What does it not do? I just ran across this iphone app on Mashable and it's look like having a genuis in your pocket! Based on what I can gather from website the application utilizing it's proprieatry "Computational™ Knowledge Engine" it operates as a REST-style webservice and can be used with any programming language that supports HTTP and XML. This means that the most popular web languages can all interact with WolframAlpha’s base system to bring up results and customized readings.

"Drawing on 20+ years of development, 50,000+ built-in algorithms, and 10+ trillion pieces of continually updated and curated data, the Wolfram|Alpha app is the ultimate replacement for almost any kind of calculator or reference book—and much more.

The breakthrough technology of Wolfram|Alpha for the first time lets you get expert-level answers to your specific freeform questions—complete with stunning, dynamically generated visualizations and tables, and richer and deeper information than you imagined possible."

Can't think for yourself? TweetDeck is here to save you.

It's sad that you can sit in front of the internet and not think of anything to search for. StumbleUpon and many others have brought back 'the excitement of randomness' and now TweetDeck brings you their own directory.

"Sometimes it’s hard to find people talking about things you’re interested in on Twitter. So we’ve created the TweetDeck Directory to make it easier to find and follow your favourite subjects, a bit like a TV Guide for Twitter channels."

Oh, and if you consider yourself a 'social media professional' and your not using TweetDeck, you should be hit in the head with a hammer. A really good hammer.
