Kindle: the Good and the Bad

Even though new gadgets and inventions are made to make life easier and provide human with a better and more advanced life, we can’t deny the fact that each technology has both a good and a bad side. As for the kindle, this incredible device which is really revolutionary and is succeeding in the market has its advantages and its drawbacks. Here are its pros and cons.

The Good: Excellent high-contrast screen does a great job of simulating a printed page; large library of tens of thousands of e-books, newspapers, magazines, and blogs via Amazon's familiar online store; built-in "Whispernet" data network--no PC needed; built-in keyboard for notes; SD card expansion slot; long battery life.

The Bad: Design is ergonomic, but not very elegant; pricing for nearly all the content seems too high, especially considering the periodicals and blogs are available for free online; black-and-white screen is fine for books, but less impressive for periodicals and Web content; lacks a true Web browser; included cover is clumsy and poorly designed; yet another dedicated device you'll need to lug around with you.

The Bottom Line: With its built-in wireless capabilities and PC-free operation, Amazon's Kindle is a promising evolution of the electronic book (and newspaper, and magazine)--but overpriced content could be its Achilles' heel.

GETTING PAID ON FACEBOOK!

This might sound weird and funny but it is true! Facebook has realesed a new application for its user that can make them earn money.Wow am sure most of us are eager to know what is it :).Well the application name is Market Lodge. Market Lodge is an application in which users provide their friends or other facebook users with products and services they trust or know so that their friends or users can buy. The user advertising for these products and services just have to create their own store and choose over 1,200 products or services from 50 different merchants and then invite their friends to see what products they advice them to use and buy. The intresting thing here is that not only is facebook playing a role in adverstising but also a role in marketing and alowing its users to gain money. For every item bought from a specific user store, the user gets 10% commmission on the sale. This shows that through facebook you can now be able to shop and sell :).Intresting!!!
