(in no particular order, of course)

• Charlene Li - Social networking analyst and expert.
• Craig Newmark - Founder of Craig’s List.
• David Swain - PR for Facebook.
• Matt Cutts - Google’s most famous blogger.
• Shel Israel - Co author of Naked Conversations.

According to the Association of Support Professionals the top 5 support sites for at least the past 5 years (making them uber-consistent) are:

5. Shazam

More music. More music. More music. Already considered an industry standard, Shazam fully integrates with the iPhone’s native environment, allowing you to seamlessly discover, buy and share tunes simply by holding your iPhone to music for just a few seconds.

Key user features:

• Tag music: identify music anywhere - whether it’s on the radio, TV, in a movie or in a store.
• Build your own soundtrack: instantly create your favorite playlist.
• Get the music: go straight to iTunes to preview and buy.
• Music Videos: see related videos of the track on YouTube.
• Capture the moment: personalize the tag by taking a photo and adding it to ‘My Tags’.
• Share the moment: send track details to friends via integrated email.

The latest version of Shazam is available for free and can be downloaded from Apple’s App Store on iPhone or at iTunes in the following countries: Austria, Belgium, Canada, Switzerland, Germany, Denmark, Spain, Finland, France, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Sweden, United Kingdom, United States, Australia, New Zealand.

4. Yelp!

Yelp.com is a data-intensive site bulging with user opinions and social-networking features. The iPhone app was clearly never intended as a replacement, but as a companion for the lost or weary to seek out a craft store, animal shop or grab bite to eat. That much is evident by the read-only quality, mobile-specific mapping and call functions, and the de-emphasis on social networking.

3. Pandora

Pandora Radio is your own FREE personalized radio now available to stream music on your iPhone. Just start with the name of one of your favorite artists, songs or classical composers and Pandora will create a “station” that plays their music and more music like it.”

Gone is the walkman. No need to lament the death of your favorite tunes though. Create your own radio station with Pandora.  The 3G iPhone benefits from this app more than previous generations, as the music can stream faster, so there’s little to no down time between tunes.

2. Wordpress for iPhone

Wordpress has redefined blogging on the Internet so why not redefine mobile blogging?  The fact that you can snap pictures where ever you are and enter them into your posts right from your phone is more than a little impressive.  Start with only a few sentences or write a full novel, there’s no post-limitations from the iPhone version to what you would get on your normal PC web-based version.

1. Facebook

Facebook is a key player in the game of life now. It has become the epicenter of mobile life and the Facebook app for iPhone gets you connected on the spot. The app fully integrates with your current Facebook account where you can see your wall, post on others walls, take pictures and immediately upload them to your Facebook’s “Mobile Uploads” gallery and best yet, can even use the Facebook’s “Chat Room” right from your phone and talk to your friends in real-time.They’ve already had a version update that added a bunch of features to the already feature rich application and undoubtedly is the best looking / coded  / functioning and practical application available. A solid choice for #1.

At MinuteFix we do more than just get rid of a virus and install some free software. We do much, much more. One of those things is we also offer advice on any area of expertise our Technicians may have. For some it is the Mac platform. For others it is PC Gaming. And yet for some it is PDA’s, camera phone and cell phones. But how can we know what to prepare for? Well, find out what is saturating the market. According to Amazon the top 5 selling cell phones as of today are:

5. Sony Ericsson W580i Black Phone
4. Pantech C810 Duo Smartphone

3. AT&T Tilt Smartphone

2. Motorola RAZR2 V9 Phone

1. BlackBerry Curve 8320 Smartphone Titanium

Many of make YouTube a mandatory stop on our daily browsings. So I thought today would be a good day to take a look at their top 5 videos.

Personally I was expecting something like lonelygirl15 or a Spider-Man trailer or something to be number 1. But no, the most popular video of all time on YouTube, so far, has been Evolution of Dance by comedian Judson Laipply. Added to YouTube on April 06, 2006 it has amassed 55.8 Million views. It’s had 60,476 comments, the first of which was: “That was freaking AWESOME! Thanks for sharing!!” The comments for this video are still going strong today - the latest 6 comments have all come just today as I was writing this post.

The next 3 most viewed YouTube videos are all music. Two of them professional, one amatuer.

• Avril Lavigne’s Girlfriend video, uploaded by RCARecords 5 months ago, has amassed 50 Million views.
• My Chemical Romance’s Famous Last Words is third, with 35M views.
• Guitar, is fourth with 26M views. It’s 5 minutes of Queen-like guitar licks, by some very talented dude.

And coming in at number 5 (and perhaps a cult classic now showing a new side of J-Tim):

• SNL - Digital Short - A Special Christmas Box (comedy)

5. Purchase a 3rd party pop-up blocker. Out of all 5 solution, this is probably the best in terms of combination defense. It will stop pop-up advertising, stop spyware and erase web browsing tracks if used correctly. We recommend Pop-Up Stopper -or- STOPzilla.

• Pros: These 3rd-party anti-popup products effectively block popup ads. They also prevent/erase spyware and adware without having to install separate anti-spyware software. These software products have no advertising on screen.
• Cons: You can get the same functionality from many no-cost popup blockers and anti-spyware.

4. Your ISP likely offers a free 3rd party pop-up blocker. Ask them. Price! They are usually free. Many Internet Service Providers will often offer free software to stop pop-up advertising.

• Pros: Free; these products are often promotional versions of high-quality paid products like Popup Killer or AdsGone.
• Cons: Remember, “you get what you pay for.”

3. Install a Google or Yahoo anti-pop-up toolbar. This is a good and free choice if you are using Windows XP Service Pack 1. If not, search Google for their latest toolbar update. The pop-up blocker is generally packaged in the bar.

• Pros: Both the Google Toolbar and Yahoo Toolbar offer 98% effective pop-up blocking (according to their advertisement), and extra search engine functions all at once.
• Cons: As mentioned, these products have only partially-effective anti-spyware. You will still need to install your own additional 3rd-party anti-spyware software. Also, if you are concerned about digital conspiracies, Google Toolbar does report your web browsing habits back to its home servers in an attempt to do statistical market analysis.

2. Be sure to install XP Service Pack 2 and use the IE Pop-Up Blocker. For security reasons, you should have long since upgraded to Microsoft XP Service Pack 2. As you perhaps know, a “service pack” is really a patch that repairs deficiencies in the software . In this case, Microsoft created XP “SP2″ to patch several security leaks in both Windows and in the IE6 browser.

• Pros: XP SP2 not only plugs 99% of the security holes in your Microsoft computer, but it also adds in some excellent built-in popup blocking to your IE6 browser. The new Integrated IE popup blocker is a favorite amongst most IE users.
• Cons: Installation can cause you headaches if you are unprepared. Also, SP2 will pester you with overly-cautious security messages every 30 seconds until you disable them.

1. Switch to Firefox for your primary browser. This is our top suggestion for browsing the Web without pop-up advertising. The Mozilla Firefox browser not only has integrated popup blocking, but it is also a feature-rich tool for viewing web pages.

• Pros: Firefox browser blocks popups, adware, and cookies. It allows specific popups through, upon your command. Firefox also has outstanding general browsing features, like tabbed pages, slick bookmarking features, integrated Google searching, larger screen viewing than IE, faster page transfers, and better security than IE.
• Cons: About 2% of web pages will not render in Firefox, including ActiveX-intensive pages and some .asp pages.

1. Zunzi’s in Savannah
2. Singapore Airlines
3. Rackspace

Wow! This is a harder list to make than I thought. Anyone have any others to add?

For three years now I have worked alongside Diego as we have navigated the ships of startup through the seas of techno-uncertainty. He is a great mind with an enormous sense of humor and personality. I thought I would return his favor and give you ‘five’ on him.

1. Diego was born in Bogota, Colombia but never knew Shakira
2. He lived in Barcelona before it was cool to vacation there
3. For some reason he insists on having whole milk in his English breakfast tea
4. He was once addicted to The Office…the british version
5. He once wrote an article for The South magazine in Savannah, GA about how to tango and another about immigration in the south
