TAG RESULTS FOR: traffic

Oh, how the tables have turned. MySpace, once royalty of the social networking world has fallen into its new job as court jester faster than anyone could have imagined 5 years ago. In much of the mid-2000s, Facebook was a mere glimmer in Mark Zuckerberg’s testicles, aimed at uniting elite college students. MySpace, the ubiquitous giant of the average teenager’s social life and Twitter, barely a fledgling start-up, was catching the eye of tech and social evangelists. These days, MySpace...

There’s a reason everyone’s always trying to rush ahead of everyone else on the road. No one likes to get stuck at a stoplight unless they need to adjust their sack or something. The color red is considered torture to many impatient drivers. The Eko Stoplight includes a circular ticker which counts down the intervals until the light will turn green. Whether the Eko Stoplight adds to or lessens the suspense is yet to be seen, but at least it... Continue reading

What up fellow GEARheads. Your man Andrew here in the hizzouse, just giving you the low down on recent Gearfuse activity. 1.) With four days left in July, we’ve already passed our record month in page views. This is all because of you and your sexiness. So, thanks, from the bottom of our icy hearts. You’ve kept us beating out records every month for the past six months. 2.) We still got our awesome StickyTwits contest going on. Two of... Continue reading

The social media war has finally come to an end. We all know that MySpace has been declining in popularity and use since 2006 and since then, has only been beating out Facebook in US-based traffic. Now, Facebook has overtaken MySpace, according to Comscore. The exact results? For May of 2009, Facebook actually passed MySpace with 70.278 million unique visitors compared to MySpace’s 70.255 million. So close, but I think we can officially declare the ‘Book the winner of the... Continue reading

Just wanted to give you guys, our beloved readers, a big thank you. We had our best month ever for traffic in April and we’re really proud of what we’ve accomplished. So from all of us at Gearfuse, even the french-speaking one, thanks for visiting and tell all your friends how much you love us and all that jazz.

Say it ain’t so! Brett Brewer, the guy who formed MySpace parent company InterMix Media and later sold it to News Corp., says that Facebook will dominate the social networking war on a worldwide scale. Facebook’s traffic is already overtaking MySpace and MySpace’s appeal is dying by the week. But it’s not just Facebook that Mr. Brewer focuses on: But Mr Brewer, who has left the company to set up an online ad network that deals with both companies, also... Continue reading

Meet Remi Gaillard. He’s a real Italian plumber (except he’s French). The kind that drives a go-kart in live traffic, throwing banana peels at those trying to pass him by in an attempt to thwart their course. Yes, this man is playing Mario Kart for real. A hilarious video that’s well made and fun to watch. Don’t miss out. Link [via]

If a cop pulls you over for nothing more than driving while calling work to let them know you’ll be a little late, don’t piss yourself just yet. Just because you’ve been ticketed for a traffic violation involving cellphone use whilst driving doesn’t mean you’re in the shitter just yet. You might be able to get a free Bluetooth headset out of it. Like the Google Prius, you can laugh in a cop’s face. But, not because you work for... Continue reading

This is just coming off the wires but it appears the FCC is going to punish Comcast for the way it has been handling its ‘net traffic. As you may recall, Comcast has been at the center of an argument over whether or not it has the right to throttle Bit Torrent traffic. The FCC claims that by doing this, it’s violating the FCC’s principles of protecting consumers access to the Internet. Remember, this is the same Comcast that sabotaged... Continue reading

Our favorite itch to scratch, John Brownlee, brings to our attention a photo found on Flickr. It features a red Toyota Prius being pulled over by a police officer on a motorcycle. This isn’t any regular Prius though, this is the Google Street View car that takes all those lovely pictures for Google Maps! Considering how huge that camera mount is, it doesn’t surprise me too much. I can’t help but wonder if the cop actually ticketed Google. I mean,... Continue reading
