Image by youngdoo via Flickr This time I wrangled my sister, Tracy to do some tests on wetoku, the REALLY neat (did you hear that David?) new service, wetoku. They were really nice enough to me to allow me to test some of the upcoming “Pro” features. Tonight we tested the difference in quality of [...]
One of the interesting things about the Internet is the sheer amount of information out there. Sure, there is probably a very small percentage of it that each person is even remotely interested in, or has time to absorb, OR is even a little edifying, but how does one filter out the other stuff?
