“Barcodes for houses?” Everyone’s been shopping a big box, where the cashiers are miles from you in the front of the store, the employees are all on their 2 hour lunch break at the same time no where to be found and you need to know how much this Transformers: The Movie: The Board Game is for your nephew. So what did the big boxes install, mobile scanners. Basically you walk up scan the barcode of your item and it reads or announces the price.

Well Housefront just made price-checking a home easy. Even better is they allow you to do it when you need to: checking house prices with your mobile is the perfect application. (USA only for now). I mean how often are you out and see a for sale sign but don’t have your computer with you? Using it was simple.

As Lifehacker notes:

…just text the street address to HOUSE (46873). In a minute you’ll get back a text message listing the year the house was built, the square footage, the number of baths/bedrooms, and the estimated price.

Lifehacker and Techlife also agree that it is much easier than Zillow’s mobile app for the same purpose. I will take it one step farther. Housefront provided way more information in the SMS reply. Now the real question is accuracy, input a home you know and let us know how accurate they are?

Update 1: Housefront blogged about another cool feature today. Automated search history.  Basically by using their service via texting your mobile number creates an account of all the homes you viewed while you were out house shopping.  When you get back to your PC all the data from your searches are saved for your research/browsing.

Thinking of visiting all the baseball parks on the North East Coast? It’s a trip that many baseball fans would love to make. But where to start? Beginning today you can start at your friendly, neighborhood Google. Google, the current mapping king, is releasing an add-on to their popular maps tool, Google’s MyMaps.

I whipped up a driving trip you could make this summer from Chicago to Memphis to Stanton, MO to St. Louis. Check it out. If you want to see Elvis, Graceland, caves, Budweiser, the Gateway Arch and Busch Stadium it’s all planned and thanks to Google’s MyMaps feature ready for you now. It was easy to use and took about 15 minutes from start to finish to get it all working.

Techlife had previously mentioned how cool Flash Earth was, I would love to see Paul Neave tackle MyFlashEarth next. Can he do it?

List your Google MyMaps in the comments, here and we will see who has some cool ideas.

Trust me you will thank Techlife later that you didn’t know about this site until after the tournament started. Poologic is a web site run by Tom Adams with the mission of:

This site is dedicated to helping you win your college basketball tournament office pool.

The NCAA March Madness Tournament always brings about stories about infallible systems for winning your office pool but this one takes the cake. Since you have all sorts of stories such as the one I heard on the radio about a little girl who picket Florida last year since she was going to Disneyworld later that spring, it is only fitting you have all sorts of websites providing advice on winning.

After finding the story titled, Web Site Uses Math to Pick NCAA Winners from the Associated Press on, I thought wow this is it…until you read the whole thing…

Choice 1 Choice 2 Choice 3

There’s a new free business networking group formed from a partnership between TechLife and inBubbleWrap. We are pleased to announce the winner of our “Name the Group” vote is BubHub, in what turned out to be a two-horse race between inBubbleNet and the eventual winner.

We now need the voters help again to choose the identity for BubHub. This badge will represent BubHub in various uses. There are three choices, please choose an identity that most resembles BubHub. Voting is open until Friday, March 16th at 530pm CT.

Let us know your which choice you voted for and why in the comments.

Sometimes you need to plan a last-minute trip fast, as Techlife wrote about in “How to Win The Amazing Race.” But more often than not leisure travel allows you to research your destination. Today’s traveler will use quite a wide range of resources, we recently covered one such in video travel research. But the bottom line is as TechCrunch details, airline costs still are a huge bulk of the cost.

Readers of Techlife know I use a Sidekick 3 for my mobile email, phone and web. But I also use it for the great AOL Instant Messaging or AIM service it provides. Instant messaging is quick back and forth text snippets, like an SMS message. While chatting with a live friend or colleague is useful, there is another type of chat, chatting with a “Bot”. An AIM bot typically provides various types of information as requested by the user, such as a phone number of a local business or the weather in a specific area.

I have been beta testing FeedCrier, an RSS reader built into an AIM bot. It also works on MSN, Jabber and Google Talk. Wow! That’s a lot of mumbo-jumbo, so let’s simplify it. RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication and that refers to the code that allows easy and free subscription to blogs, web pages, and other data on the internet. FeedCrier by developer Adam Kalsey takes something simple in Instant Messaging and combines it with a popular format in RSS and the result is elegant yet easy.

Previously TechLife wrote about the Golden Rule of Business Networking, and how important it is to give first. We wrote this as part of an announcement that we were forming a free business networking group together with inBubbleWrap. We had a call for submissions to help name the group and the response was overwhelming, creative and brilliant. Even the naming ideas discussion was insightful.Thank You for all the great submissions.

We have narrowed down the list. Now we have a simple task, V-O-T-E-! We want our future networking group to vote on our name, it is after all, “our group” so “we” should name it. Here are the top 5 in no particular order:

It’s cold today. Makes you begin to envy those lucky folks who right at this minute are cavorting around in a bathing suit with a pina colada. A certain person we know is right now doing just that, and boy are they lucky. Which makes “friend of the show” Scubaology’s recent post on Travelisitic.com, videos for travelers, all that more inviting.

As you begin planning for a trip and are looking for more than the written word check out the mix of amateur and professional (some ads) videos for various destinations. Here’s a search on Caribbean, which had 74 videos and 14 blog posts listed. I watched this pretty entertaining one on St. Barths.

Business networking is the key to many successful business relationships. TechLife is constantly networking. We learned early on that the golden rule of networking is give of yourself first and expect nothing in return. Karma has a funny way of working things out.

I have blogged in the past about DailyLit a site for avid readers via email. But I am also an avid reader of business books as I find I get great insight that can help my clients in planning their business strategy, marketing or technology projects. Thanks to inBubbleWrap.com, I have learned, won, and read some great business books.

I was thinking how great it would be to meet other business book readers and network with them. Together with inBubbleWrap, we have started a free networking project that is just kicking off . If you want to increase your business network this simple and free network will be a great asset to meet smart, well-read people in business.
If you want to get involved the first thing we are doing is naming the group. Submit our new group name and we will then vote to decide the best one. Post any questions or comments.

Today TechLife‘s friend Skye Boyes stopped by with some thoughts. Skye is the principal of XGen Studios, makers of Stick Arena, the popular Flash game we previously covered.

Skye was happy to see all the discussion from fans of Stick Arena. He wanted to clear up a few things about the game. I liked what he had to say so I am publishing it here as well for all to read.

I also wanted to mention publicly that the original post even had one person so enraged that they commented with death threats. Needless to say I chose to not post those.

Now on with Skye’s Thoughts:

Since the beginning of time, not matter your race, religion, background, the people of Earth have a few things in common. One is that we all have a family. You can make your arguments how there is no way you are related to Sloth, your third cousin on your mom’s side, but you know deep down you are. Geni.com (said genie, as in Genealogy) can help you track down the family you know and more importantly the family you don’t know.

Ze Frank mocks reads Techlife?
Ok, so maybe we are being a bit narcissistic here, but in the February 13, 2007 episode of The Show with Ze Frank, (a really informative show with tons of inside jokes) at 0:39 sec he says:

The other day I read somewhere that someone thought I was the head of the LOA. (League of Awesomeness.) Me! I am just finishing the internship and I haven’t even started to write a book about nothing.

Now we know that this is like 15 degrees of Kevin Bacon but follow this humor us…we posted the Look Shiny post on February 9, 2007 (the other day?) where we said (Ze read?):

…the League of Awesomeness and its leader Power Mover (and Shaker) Ze Frank…

Ze obviously Not bloody likely! reads Techlife and was too polite to ask for a retraction. Well we get it, so here it goes:

Mr. Frank please excuse the reporting and fact checking, we know in this age of Internet Journalism any talking head can pop up and claim to have done their research. In the case of mistaken titling we apologize for referring to you as Leader of the League of Awesomeness as we have learned directly that you are in fact just an intern at this time. We offer our deepest apologies at this error to both you and your organization. We further hope that this gaffe does not impede your quest for entry into this elite organization. Furthermore we hope not just have gained a reader but a friend.

Do you have further thoughts on the Internet and information accuracy? Please comment on it.

Watch the video Web 2.0 … The Machine is Us/ing Us by Kansas State University Assistant Professor of Cultural Anthropology Michael Wesch. In his blog he covers a bit more in depth on the various aspects of this unique view of the world. He is quoted as writing:

My videos explore mediated culture, seeking to merge the ideas of Media Ecology and Cultural Anthropology.

Professor Wesch introduced me to the phrase Digital Ethnography. Wikipedia defines Ethnography as “people writing.” A bit more complex definition appears to be writing that describes human social phenomena using both qualitative and quantitative descriptions intertwined to best explain the observations. It is used often in anthropology.

By extrapolation Digital Ethnography could be described as understanding the way humans use digital forms of expression to interact using a combination of modern delivery mechinisms and mediums.
René Descartes said, “I think, therefore I am.”

Professor Wesch might say, “You create, therefore we create.”

And I get the easy line of, “Cool Video.”

I explain daily to clients that reaching out to create lets others reach out to you, thanks to Professor Wesch for showing the history leading to Web 2.0.

Normally we fire up a computer to manage Techlife but today we were not near the computer when the Tmobile Sidekick 3 alerted us to a comment on a previous post via an email.
