While I Have a Sec.. Tweetdeck Doesn’t Sync

Tweetdeck is great. Tweetdeck for iPhone is great. I’ve tried plenty of other twitter clients, but I’ve always ended up back at Tweetdeck. It just does what I want it to do, and I guess there’s now some of that inertia – it’s hassle to move (despite twitter lists which makes the web interface much [...]

Twitter Lists of Them

Last night A week or so ago I made a small list on Twitter – simply called ‘them.’ It was a tedious task, as for the most part Twitter didn’t seem to want to accept most of the names I selected without being told several times. This is the list of people I have in [...]

Twitter in Google & Bing – a New Reputation Management Headache?

So the deals are done and now the big boys get to play with all of Twitter’s up-to-the-minute data. Google looked like they had to do a spot of positive reputation management of their own – quickly pushing their story in response to a better prepared Microsoft. But now it’s official there’s lots of discussion [...]

For a Long Time

I’ve been trying hard not to write about search or marketing or social media or any of that stuff. And that’s left me hardly writing about anything (especially not here). Although I have been sharing some random things on posterous and my collection of quotes on tumblr is growing steadily, there’s something missing. So I’m [...]

A Few Twitter Things

Apparently, this is the funniest Twitter account so far, according to Mashable… if you rate them. Oh, and God has one too. And while we’re on the subject, I’m normally rambling @Swerveball. I passed my 1000th tweet without really noticing (although some people like to keep track of these ‘milestones’ I seem to let them pass [...]

The Electro-Funk-Daddy Superstar Break

A friend of mine has just completed some design work on a site Shuddervision. He’s pretty good on his design (although I’m still ribbing him to this day about his explanation of CMS meaning ‘control management system’ come on Tom, get it fixed!). Anyway, the video on the homepage of that site reminded me of this [...]

Google Moderator – Ask a Google Engineer a Question

This was a bit out of the blue, but for the first time in ages I clicked on the ‘Everyone’ stream in Twitter, and the second tweet on the screen was this from Brit. Turns out I caught that tweet 22 seconds after she posted, and as far as I know it was the first [...]

Where’s My Scrabulous Gone?

Not ten minutes ago I was playing Scrabulous on Facebook, something I do every now and again to flex my mental muscles, get my head round some general wordiness, and, of course, whup my friends. I’m sure most people are familiar with the scrabble game that’s taken the FB by storm since the web game was [...]

Wordpress 2.6 Tyner

When did this happen? Well, hey say it’s a month early and it’s also called Tyner. Seeing as it was so painless to install, I’m quite impressed. But then, I’m not running any fancy stuff, so I guess you should expect that. Now I’ll have to go look under the hood.

Does Stitcher Have It All Sewn Up?

The other day I was idling around the net (as idling is one of my most important pastimes, but more on that later) and I came across an offer to test out Stitcher. An interesting idea, having some newfangled web service read headlines from TechCrunch or other big and important sites. I can’t remember where I saw [...]
