Ten Web Browsers that You May Have Never Heard of
The browser wars is starting to heat up again due to some exciting developments in the industry. Last year, Google joined the browser wars with its Google Chrome.

There are tons of web browsers actually, each with their own set of features. Here are ten of these other browsers which you may have not heard of before.
What is it? A simple chat about the basics of pods, blogs and vlogs.
Going back to our roots, the podcast this week asks the basic questions, what exactly are podcasts, blogs and vlogs? We talk about them every week on the show, but since we started, some of the rules changed, some of the technology grew and frankly everyone became so creative and entertaining that we thought it was high time to reassess the basics.
