We’re big fans of finding new ways to celebrate tech. And when it’s a social networking opportunity where it’s actually OK to pull out a smart phone and text/tweet/email in unison, that’s just a bonus. Techies can once again unite, because this Thursday officially has been named Gizmodo Day. For those of you…
We’re normally not huge advocates of smart phone apps that connect to social media. Sure, a lot of them are handy, but in the day and age of Foursquare check-ins, following on Twitter, and Facebook stalking, it’s just too easy to get lost in the noise. Enter Bump. …
Facebook — and social media in general — have been blamed for many relationships faltering. New technology has made it easy to catch someone cheating if the person they’re with uploads photos, updates a status, or “checks in” on Foursquare. But we never thought we’d hear this one: A guy…
Twitter looks like an amazing place to work. The social media giant requires you to surf the web, sit in on power meetings with Kanye West which turn into impromptu performances during lunch hours, and as evidenced by their latest recruitment video, they have a slew of during and after…
OK, so the folks at Hasbro have created a lot of Monopoly games — and we mean a lot. But they might have missed the boat, because someone else has come up with the genius idea for Social Media Monopoly. Right now, it’s just a bunch of images and simulations of what…
Whether or not we’d like to admit it, we’ve all been there. Moving to new cities and jumping head first into the dating pool isn’t easy. But we’re guessing the real trick is standing out. Cue SeeClaudiaDate.com. Claudia, a native Texan and recent New York transplant, spent the last year…
Whether or not we’d actually admit to it in public, we can’t look away from the train wreck that is Jersey Shore. It’s just one of those shows we love to hate and can’t stop imitating or deriding.Everywhere we look lately, we see the Situation fist-pumping, JWoww getting into a fistfight,…
If you’re a fan of getting your conspiracy theories and government leaks first, you’ve probably heard of WikiLeaks. The international organization publishes anonymous submissions and leaks of sensitive documents while keeping their sources’ anonymity. They’ve been around for a while already, but the website has now possibly made history, publishing…
Remember when we told you about that social media scavenger hunt you’d have to go on to get tickets to a social media fiesta with booze provided by @SmirnoffMiami, music by @RkmyKeny, and everything live-tweeted by your Twitter jockey, @ManuGabaldon? Well, we have an even easier way for you to win passes…..
OK, so we all know how annoying it can be to plug in to social media sometimes, and have to check all of the outlets, sift through spam bots, junk tweets, retweets, and boring statuses. But what if all of the most interesting information that comes from your social media…
We all know how frustrating finding a parking space in Miami can be — especially if you’re always running late in SoBe or the Design District. The only spots left are in $15+ lots, or garages five floors up. Not anymore, thanks to Android’s latest App, Open Spot…
Look at your computer. Now back to me. Now back at your screen. Now at this post. Sadly, you aren’t this Old Spice guy featured in the video below, but if you read this post, he might just crack you up. Isaiah Mustafa probably looks familiar. Known mostly as “the…
Rarely does a social media addiction pay off in a big way. We tweet our favorite celebs and hope for a reply, “like” products and cross our fingers for some freebies, and mention every move we make via Foursquare, hoping that special someone will “follow” us there. But we hardly…
We all know how difficult it is to text while driving. Speaking from experience, it’s virtually impossible — and in some parts of South Florida, even illegal. AT&T adds a little label to the front of new phones suggesting not to do it, and we’ve all heard of the friend…
The masses waited in day-long lines when the iPhone 4 was released just a few weeks ago, but now after reports that the new iPhone has terrible reception, there are a lot of very unhappy customers. Even Apple’s commented on it, but rather than do something about it, they wrote…
Are you obsessed with everything Mac/Apple related? If you found out about the iPhone 4 before Gizmodo did and every tech gadget in your house has a bitten apple logo on it, this one’s for you. IT product and service provider Loop USA is hosting the Apple Business Expo 2K10…
Yes, you read right: The National Federation of the Blind and Virginia Tech have just announced they’re working together to build a car that a visually impaired person can drive independently. And Florida has something to do with it. It was announced Friday that the vehicle in question is scheduled…
As evidenced by the video below, Wednesday night’s first Social Media Day was a big success in Miami. It was an epic celebration of everything social media, and the Miami festivities were the biggest in the Southeast — even bigger than L.A.’s. Miamians have once again proven their digital prowess,…
We know that the moment we say anything is free, the masses head out in droves (free garbage, anyone?), but today’s local Social Media Day, held at the Pelican Hotel, is so much more than just free champagne. Once you can see past the really basic fonts on the logo,…
Slammed for breaching the privacy of users, Facebook and its founder, Mark Zuckerberg, get a taste of their own medicine in Columbia Pictures’ latest foray into technology, The Social Network. If you know anything about technology and social media, you’ve at the very least heard of Facebook. The networking site…
Monday marked the first official day of summer. Time to pack your bags, load up the car, and go on those road trips. But do you really have to go sans your favorite tech? Stay.com doesn’t think so. The newly updated travel site is incorporating social media technology with only…
When Steve Jobs announced the launch of the new iPhone 4 just a few weeks ago, we all waited with bated breath for a new video chatting feature called FaceTime. And now, there’s more: An Apple rep has confirmed that video calls won’t use up any carrier minutes. “The voice…
