Utterz is an interesting web service that lets you create rich media micro posts with text, audio, or video and have it automatically updated on your blog, web site, or FaceBook account directly from your cell phone! Too much for one sentence?
Here’s a quick breakdown of what the service is supposed to be used for: you suddenly have a thought, experience, or opinion that you want to share with all of your friends instantly, so you simply dial a number given to you by Utterz and record a voice “Utter” along with sending an email to go@utterz.com with a snapped picture from your camera phone and text. Pretty nifty.

For some reason, it’s really annoyed me that with all of our technology, you still can’t make a dentist or doctors appointment online via a web-based scheduling system. Is it really that hard? Wouldn’t it be much easier for doctors offices to have their patients schedule themselves rather than having to call and manually type in the information?
Well, thankfully, someone else has thought of this and has actually made a really nice web-based scheduling system that you can use to make appointments with local dentists and doctors (the doctors part is still in beta, but dentists are available).

Online ad optimization is one of those things that has gone from pretty simple and easy to ridiculously complicated and confusing.
