eGether is a collaborative service combining the best functionality from social networks in a portal for consumers, press, PR and analysts.
Launching in public beta, it initially centers around 255 character status updates and 999 character pitches, using familiar @ status messaging for inter-user communication.

Activities originate from user status updates and pitches, contact information and tagged galleries while Connections include private and public groups of other users.

I’ve cut back a lot on twitter and my activities on facebook dropped to a couple of updates per week. So where am I hanging out nowadays? Ewdi and I have been working on a new project: eGether It’s virtually facebook meets twitter with a twist of LinkedIn. So that’s where I’ve been hanging out and will be moving forward. If you feel the need to stalk my daily ramblings and activities, feel free to check me at http://eGether.com/vincent
One man’s trash is another man’s gold - no I’m not saying this 120GB OCZ SATA II 2.5″ solid state drive is Ewdi’s trash. Since he recently got a new 250GB version, it’s just sitting there collecting dust. I don’t mind the hand-me-down at all especially when the 120GB version still cost nearly $300!
Shooting product shots or anything up close and personal will never be the same again - if you’re shooting with the Lumix DMC-LX3 (sporting Leica DC VARIO-SUMMICRON lens). Sample shot of below.
I’m selling a rarely used Canon PowerShot G9 for $250 OBO. It comes with all the original accessories (minus the software CD), box, manuals and original sales receipt. Email tipline@gmail.com or call 917-477-7911 for details.

Lynnsie and I are heading off to Johannesburg, South Africa (17 hour flight) tomorrow afternoon then from there take a short 2-hour flight to Cape Town where I’m going to try and get some rest and relaxation (not if my wife can help it, I think she’s got a full week planned out with choked full of activities). I’m not sure if I’ll have access to the Internet as often as I’d like but make sure to check this thread for pics and videos from my trip. I’ll most likely also post on Twitter.com/nguyen as well as my website here.
Our first episode of SlashGear TV week in review is officially online! Each week, Ashley, Bree and I will go through the latest greatest news along with new consumer products that we get in for review.
Meet Bree and Ashley, our hosts for SlashGear.TV week-in-review. I knew they were perfect for the part the first time I saw them. So this first set of bloopers are taken from the pilot episode which we recorded earlier tonight at Soma Cafe in Phoenix. There are more to come, so enjoy.
