Google Play Music All Access Review: It’s Not a Spotify Competitor After All

May 16, 2013 By Staff

Let’s get this out of the way: Google Play Music All Access is a terrible name, rolling off the tongue like a mouthful of marbles. I’m not sure what Google was thinking here, adopting such a clunky moniker for a fledgling streaming music service whose media-decreed rivals go by punchier handles like Pandora, Spotify, Rdio and Grooveshark. Why not something simpler like Google Music, leaving “All Access” to describe one of the subscription tiers? Even the name Google Play sounds catchier … [Read more...]

May 12, 2013 By Staff

With 41 million likes on Facebook, "Fast & Furious 6" star Vin Diesel is one of the most popular celebrities on the social networking site. But how did the action star create such a successful online persona? He got in the game early. “What Facebook didn’t realize is something very big was about to happen, and that was — for the first time in history, and it’s kind of a fluke they didn’t see this coming — when I jumped on that page in April 2009, I started talking to people. … [Read more...]
