After an incredibly successful SXSW last year, where the Plaxo Product Team came up with the idea of a social aggregator: Plaxo Pulse, I couldn’t pass up another opportunity to go to the Interactive festival this year once again.

In light of the recent disaster in Bangladesh, I’ve put together a site to help raise funds. It takes a bit of a non-traditional approach to raising funds, so go check it out and let me know what you think.

Remember when you discovered kayak.com and thought it was the coolest thing ever? Well, it’s old news now.
Honestly, when I first started using Kayak, I asked to myself, what else could you possible need (short of complete transparency into when prices will fall)? But I pretty much left it at that since I knew that was next to impossible.
Well, Farecast not only scoures the web to find you all the deals on flights, it also tries to predict where prices are going to go. And as if that wasn’t enough, you can sign up for Farecast alerts that notify you on when is the perfect weekend to take that trip to Buffalo, NY.
On a sidenote, yes, I know this blog is horribly out of date and I haven’t posted in over a month, don’t worry, yet another re-design is in progress.
