Are You More Tech Savvy Than Your Boss?
Have you found yourself in this situation? Your boss is either a bit of a technophobe or just doesn't understand how email/her BlackBerry/the office scanner works and asks for your help every time she turns on the device? One writer at Marie Claire confesses she has to help her boss with even the most mindless tech issues — and she's not alone.
Do You Text During Concerts or Other Shows?
The other night, I went to a concert with a few of my friends. After the initial bag check and ticket scan from security, we saw large signs at the entrance to the venue reading, "The artists ask that you set your phones to vibrate and refrain from texting and other cell phone use during the performance." While I'm used to signs asking concert-goers not to take photos or videos during the show, this was the first ban on texts or cell phone use I'd seen during a concert.
Sprint Debuts Cheeky New Desperate Housewives Ads
Companies and TV networks are getting quite clever when it comes to creating commercials that blend well with the show it's airing with. We already know that people aren't watching commercials during popular shows, so it makes sense that companies are using some smart tactics to get people to watch — and not fast forward through — its commercials. Sprint is doing just that by teaming up with Desperate Housewives to launch seven commercials that were actually written and directed by Desperate Housewives employees.

Twitter Geo-Location Functionality Arriving This Week?
With the 140TC Twitter Conference in LA in full swing, it would only make sense that the popular micro-blogging site debuts some new features.
What can we expect? Well, geotagged tweets could be surfacing in the next few days, as the Twitter platform team waits for the green light to launch local functionality live.
Do You Use Facebook More Than Email to Stay In Contact?
I'm guessing that since you're reading this site, you're on some sort of social networking site (more specifically Facebook), and probably check a few times a day (or if you're like me, checking it all the time via a mobile app). Facebook, as well as other social networking sites, provide a great way to keep in touch with people. So much so that social networking may be edging out email as a way to keep in touch with friends and family.
Kelly Ripa Kicks Off a Text-a-Thon For Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month
It only makes sense that daytime talk-show host Kelly Ripa — a self-proclaimed iPhone addict — is teaming up with the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund to help raise awareness during Ovarian Cancer Month with a text-a-thon!
Throughout the rest of the month, Kelly will be encouraging people to help fund research for a cure by donating money by either texting "Kelly" to 85944 or by visiting Kelly Confidential.
I'm sure Kelly will keep us posted on the text-a-thon progress via her new favorite microblogging site — Twitter!
