A week ago, I visited BlogWorld and NewMedia Expo in Las Vegas. BlogWorld (or BWE as its known) has a special place in my heart: it was the first tech conference I ever went to, way back in 2007, when my career as a blogger and all-around Internet person was just starting and terms like monetization, social media, and SEO were a different language. I knew the definitions, but no...

I have an admission; I love Google.I was an early adopter (from Yahoo!) and even snagged a beta GMail account when they first announced it. Over the years, I've come to expect Google's arrogance and their overzealous contextual ads displayed everywhere from my private emails to my RSS feed. I've also come to assume that if their servers go down, that there isn’t anyone I can call, email or Tweet at to complain that they're screwing up my productivity.

If you’re a fan of hanging out in Starbucks, enjoying a hot drink and Twittering about how annoying all of your fellow coffee patrons are, you’re in luck.Instead of having to access the Internet on your phone or pay out the wazoo to use Starbucks' WiFi, all you have to do now is sling £5 on Starbucks Rewards Card, register it online, and you can use the WiFi at any participating Starbucks store in the UK!
