I tried to find a good article on how to reset your iPhone back to factory settings (defaults). 

I could not, so I thought I would make up one.

Step 1:

From your home screen, Choose Settings

Step 2:

Choose General

Step 3:

Choose Reset (it is at the bottom on the list, so move your finger from bottom to top once)

Step 4:

Here you will choose the option that best suits you.  If you want to completely erase and start over, choose “Erase All Content and Settings”.  If you just want to “Reset All Settings”, choose the top one.

NOTE: THIS PROCESS COULD TAKE UP TO ONE HOUR AND ALL OF YOUR DATA WILL BE LOST.  SO, CHOOSE CAREFULLY OR YOU WILL LOSE EVERYTHING

Today marks the one year anniversary of me being on Mahalo.com.

I heard about Mahalo from Leo Laporte.  He had this guy named Jason Calacanis on his show, TWiT, last year.  Jason mentioned that he started up a new company called Mahalo.com (meaning Thank You).  So, as a good Leo follower I went over to the Mahalo.com site and checked it out.  At first I was skeptical of what Jason and his Mahalo.com crew were trying to do… So, I jumped right back off.

Well, time marched on and I really didn’t do much with Mahalo.com for about a month.  Then… Jason was on TWiT again.  He mentioned that he may give away a MacBook Air for anyone who submits the most recommended links to Mahalo.com.  Well, as you may have guessed I jumped on to that train as quick as I could.  Within no time I was #1 on Mahalo.com with the most recommended links!  YAY me.  Either way, if you haven’t guessed by now, I didn’t win the MacBook Air.  Jason decided NOT to give one away.  I wasn’t to happy.  Oh well, water under the bridge.

Mahalo.com is still one of my most favorite sites and I am still a MAJOR Jason fan (I just wish he would get back on UStream.tv)…

Mahalo.com and Jason have changed my online life more than anything I have ever done on the Internet.  It has made me blog more, it has made me more social and has introduced me to a lot of good people on the web (i.e. Lon Harris, Sean Percival and many many others!!

Mahalo.com and Jason also introduced me Steve Gillmor of NewsGang and Gillmor Gang… for which I am forever grateful!

Now… Mahalo.com has gone through some major changes over the past year.  Everything from changing hosting providers to completely changing the home page.  Also, Jason has had to make drastic changes in his staff and don’t forget we lost Veronica Belmont to Tekzilla of Revison 3.  Mind you, we now have the lovely and talented Leah D’Emilio.  Yes, MahaloDaily.com had some major changes too.  Mahalo VLOGIdol was a crazy month of trying to get a new host.   Finally after much debate Leah became the new host.  Along side Lon Harris they have created some great video for the web!!

Well, that is my story for the past year… I would like to thank Jason Calacanis and his wonderful staff at Mahalo.com.  I hope the next year is just as exciting.

I signed up for Qwitter a few days ago and I thought it would be cool to see who was stopped following me…  Well, I got an interesting surprise when I went to their “following” page.  They were still following me??!!?! What’s up with that??

For those who don’t know what Qwitter is… it is a site that will monitor your Twitter account tell you when someone unsubscribes to your Twitter feed.

The strange thing is… I got a ton of unsubscribes at the same time.  It was like a batch process ran and randomly grabbed people and said that they have stopped following me I was very said; however, with a little re-search, all was ok.  I think Qwitter needs to fix their API!
