Today's Tech Stories I found interesting:
1. Google Wallet
Google is getting into the mobile payment market.
2. Twitter Photo Sharing
Twitter is finally putting a photo sharing service online. But can we expect constant outages with Twtimg as well? One interesting note, especially for developers. Twitter is going to crate it's own version of your stand alone client application. If you rely on Twitter for your core business, expect to be challenged, by the source.
3. Apple iCloud
Apple plans on announcing it's newly minted iCloud (formerly MobileMe), among other new products, at WWDC on June 6th. Expect Twitter and other Interwebs to be inundated with traffic.
4. Craigslist switches to MongoDB
Cragislist is in the process of incorporating MongoDB as it's primary database system. MongoDB is a document style repository versus a traditional relational database.
5. Five Best Set-Top Boxes for On-Demand Video
On-demand video is taking the net by storm. Just look at Netflix, who is now responsible for +20% of all Internet traffic. Gaming consoles are very popular, but boxes such as Boxee and Roku are priced very competitively, and stream the same channels like Netflix, Hulu+, and Amazon Video on Demand.
