If Instagram Had Been Invented in the 80s

SquirrelMonkey is back with a new video showing what our digital lives might have been like in the glorious 80s or 90s.  This time around, they take on Instagram.

Fortunately for us, Instagram wasn't a product of the 80s.  Enjoy.

If Wikipedia Had Been Invented in the 80s

I've posted a couple of these in the past, but Squirrel-Monkey.com is back with another retro themed video, this time taking on what Wikipedia would've looked like in the 1980s.

Pause the video in order to fully read the content of each "search" to see just how much things have changed since my favorite decade.

Enjoy.

Today's Youth Are Dumb as F**k

Older generations have always said that our country is doomed because today's youth doesn't know anything.  I never believed that until after watching this.

In the above video "Austin" goes around a high school asking students basic questions that they should have learned in grade school.  After watching you'll most likely feel like this...

Disable Google Search Plus Your World

Earlier this week Google announced Search Plus Your World, which personalizes your search results based on the connections and relationships that you develop using Google+.  Basically, content shared from your various circles will be given priority within the search results.  So far, the reaction towards this new product has been pretty mixed.

Now, in my own personal experience with the product, which has only been a few days, I can personally say that I don't find it very useful.  Just running a sample search for "star wars", half of my first page results were posts from this very blog.  Because of this, I've looked for a way to disable this new feature.

On a conference call yesterday with my Google rep (I work in paid search), I had asked if there was a way to opt out of Search Plus Your World since it is the new default.  Sadly, I didn't get an answer.  However, because I'm a nerd, I started playing around with my search settings and discovered a way that will allow you to set Google's old search results as the default.

Sh*t Nerds Say

By now, you've probably seen or heard of the Twitter account @ShitGirlsSay.  There have been a number of parodies made already, but this one hits a little close to home.

G4 took it upon themselves to compile a list of shit nerds say.  How many of these phrases do you catch yourself saying on a daily basis??

Your Favorite Characters, Simpsonized

Springfield Punx is one of my favorite blogs.  Dean, the creative force behind the blog and artwork, translates some of our favorite characters from TV, movies, and comics and Simpsonizes them.

Dean tries to get a new character up at least once or twice a week, usually following a certain theme (i.e., Doctor Who, The Dark Knight, Power Rangers, Lost, etc.).

Be sure to check out his blog and subscribe to stay up-to-date on his latest translations.

Stay nerdy my friends.

Force the New Twitter Web-Design

Twitter just announced a new web-design made to streamline and simplify the overall Twitter-experience, making it "easier to connect with the things you care about".  Twitter also released updated versions of their mobile applications that mirror the experience.  They've said the updated will be rolling out over the next several weeks, but you can force the change almost immediately, starting today.

Simply log out of Twitter's desktop interface and download/update your iPhone or Android Twitter app.  Then just log back into the Twitter on your desktop.  You should start to see the new interface after a few refreshes, if not right away.

So what do you think?  Do you like the new interface?  Will you find it simpler to use?  Let me know what your opinion is in the comments below.

In the meantime, stay nerdy my friends.
