“When Microsoft bought Wunderlist, the company announced that the app would eventually be shut down and that To-Do would take its place. But, as time passed, Microsoft said that Wunderlist would live-on a bit longer but that the plan was to still transition over to To-Do when the app was ready.” “The project as it stands right now is in some sort of migration-hell that has essentially destroyed the fan-base for Wunderlist thanks to missed deadlines and with To-Do being half-baked; Microsoft has royally botched this acquisition and transition between platforms.” Thurrott Microsoft really butchered the hell out this great app. I like Microsoft To-Do but they should just left Wunderlist alone was a great profitable app 🙁

March 22, 2018Only a few decades ago, we were living in a time of corded phones and MS Dos technology. Now, tech savvy teens are making more money than adults working at an executive level. According to a study from MTV Insights, one of the reasons why teens are believed to be more tech-savvy than members of the older generation is their pragmatic approach to everything in life, technology included. How do they do it? They do not take anything at face value and will question every new technology before fully embracing it. Consider these lessons taken from successful young entrepreneurs. Marketing for the Digital Age Teenagers are remarkable at sharing information and remaining in constant contact with the rest of the world. It is this knowledge that makes them such effective marketers. Social media has become the easiest way to reach thousands of consumers simultaneously, and teens are veritable experts at using things like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to grow a following and push their marketing products like smart bots.
