Nerd Alert

  • Skype for iPhone is really here and now you can download the VoIP app for yourself.  But, how does it measure up? Better than actual 3G calling over AT&T's network! [Gizmodo]
  • April Fools day is almost here.  What will Google's Gag be this year? They have done everything from implementing a toilet Internet service provider to a pagerank system based on pigeons in the past.  Take a look through the full list of Pranks here [Silicon Alley Insider]
    • Twitter on your TV! Could they be serious? They could!  Samsung's new '09 TV sets will include Yahoo's new TV widget platform with around a dozen apps. [Silicon Alley]
    • Street styles from the nerd herd at SXSW. Is this the next Sartorialist.com? [Pacsun]
    • Are you Tweeting while Rome burns? The news last week was full of stories about how the Web phenom Twitter might make a buck as the rest of the economy goes up in smoke, from charging for Tweet aggregations to acquisition by Google [The Moment]
    • bit.ly is worth $8 Million, and TinyURL is worth at least $46 Million. Because, in a world where everything is being jammed into 140 characters or less, shorter is better. [Tech Crunch]
    • The Ellen Show reached 50,000 followers on Twitter yesterday, and, you know what that means: video of Halle Berry? [Twitter]
    • Fugly sweaters for your laptop are available to order for only $20. This is pretty much on the same level as buying  clothes for you dog. [Gizmodo]
    • Go pick up Doree Shafrir's (of Observer fame) latest novel at your local Barnes and Nobles today! [The Doree Chronicles]
