‘The Conversation’ is Happening NOW.
I have had a lot of posts about twitter lately but it really seems to be where I am doing the majority of my personal communication now. I love it because it is 100% mobile and no matter where I am, I can access it somehow. It has eliminated my one line e-mails [...]
My Twitter Desktop Welcomes TwitterLocal
I downloaded the desktop AIR application from TwitterLocal yesterday to give it a try and it has been awesome thus far. In case you haven’t heard, TwitterLocal is a tool to create an RSS feed of tweets for your area based off of users’ declared location from twitter. I set one up for [...]
Micromedia is the Future of Personal Broadcasting
I came across this slide presentation a few days ago from the founder of Jaiku. It is really very interesting and sort of breaks micromedia down to an easy-to-understand concept and I think it not only provides good introduction information about services such at Pownce, twitter, and Jaiku but is also a great example of [...]
Some People Have Casual Friday; I Got Chaos Friday.
Last Friday (15 February 2008) was quite the day for me…and by that, I mean it was the single most ridiculous day of my entire life. In order to convey the feeling of helplessness and geo-spatial influences which made it so, I have included the below Google Map to provide a walkthrough of my [...]
Open Letter to Google
Open Letter to Google,
Hey Google, I’m a big fan. I’ve been a loyal Googler since 2002 or so and I use just about every Google product I can fit into my life. (Except Google Video: I thought that is why you bought YouTube…why have 2 sites?) I even have an orkut profile…despite the [...]
My Twitter Stats…New and Improved
So a few weeks ago, I posted a screenshot of my twitter stats (along with just about everyone else that uses twitter like a drug) and it was a pretty basic outline of usage that would make any designer or aesthetically inclined person cringe…but all that is about to change! A newer version of [...]
My Twitter Stats
I’ve been gone for a couple days and I’m frantically trying to catch up on RSS reading and twitter updates, etc…but the first thing I noticed when I got back was all the chatter about Twitter Stats, a new site that generates basic graphics about a user’s twitter habits. It is pretty rudimentary and [...]
The Twitter Tuesday Tidal Wave
“Drop a pebble, make a wave“ That’s what happened when Jeremiah posted (and twittered) about Twitter and how it can be used. It has become known as Twitter Tuesday, and I doubt if there is a person left on the service that hasn’t made new connections because of it! There is a really good post [...]
Twitter Finally Gets a Grown-Up Design
Twitter has just launched a new site design, finally varying from its trademark sky-blue and cloudy background. One of the biggest criticisms of Twitter over the past few months has been that it seems to be having major growing pains, and since it got a nice chunk of VC money back in July, it [...]
Twitter + Facebook Status = Harmony
Finally, Facebook has adapted its API to allow the Twitter application to update users’ facebook status! I have been using the Twitter application to post my ‘tweets’ to my profile and News Feed since just after the platform launch and ever since I have hated the redundancy of having to update twitter and facebook, but [...]
