The intersection of technology and popular culture has brought us some really great endeavors through the years. Angry Birds comes to mind. So does Twitter's tweets per second record when Beyonce revealed she was having a baby. Perhaps the best use of technology in pop culture though is the ability to track and respond to real-time information from anywhere in the world. This should come in especially handy over the next few weeks as the NCAA Men's Basketball Championship unfolds in cities across the country. The NCAA Tourney is an annual rite in the United States. It is one of those events that brings people together as brackets are filled out, wagers made and winners sought. There are more ways than ever to stream all the NCAA games, keep track of your picks and talk smack with your opponents over social media. What are the best ways to follow the action Read More

Many in North America are still reeling from this weekend’s Daylight Savings Time change, and as I understand it, folks in Europe and Asia will enjoy a similar experience in the near future. There’s no experience like that of March Madness here in the U.S. though. Every year at this time, we participate in an exciting and wild nationwide college basketball tournament.

The three week event gathers fans all across the country, mainly due to the popularity of “NCAA pools” where would-be fortune tellers attempt to predict the winners.
