Last night a tweet came through my twitterstream that grabbed my attention.It was sent by Ted Rheingold, the founder of dogster:
“Why doesn’t Apple’s MobileMe have social features?  Apple gets A LOT right, but it’s as if they want to skip the social revolution“
This is definitely a thought-provoking question, and one you could easily imagine coming […]

Twitter is this like, thing!  That people are using on the internet, and it’s like, totally cool!  Buzz is that twitter is the next big thing, so I totally got an account like, last month.  And I am so glad I did, because in a year or so, when everyone else is first hearing about […]

You’re not going to find any news breaking on this blog as the keynote unfolds and everybody goes crazy, but what I will say, quickly, as we all sit and wait for the speech is this:
Apple has built a stronger brand than has ever been created before.
Think about it.  We all know what’s going to […]

Edit 6/4/08 - Jay from the Switchabit team has again proven to be very helpful and the problems seem at this point to be very creepy indeed, but not Switchabit related.  If Jay’s diagnosis (involving multiple IPs from my router) is correct, then their help has amounted to far more than content distribution hiccups.  Still […]

So of course, people suggest a move to Pownce or Friendfeed (or Jaiku if they need a nice three-item list).

Twitter’s going to be down tonight.
This would usually really piss me off, but this time they’re telling us about it ahead of time.

A self-imposed oath, that is, to not discuss anything related to Twitter or Adobe AIR applications for the remainder of the week.But Seesmic buying Twhirl is really huge news for people as obsessed with AIR microblogging as me.
So instead of blogging about it or offering my two cents, I ask you to check out all […]

I want to glue together two useful open source Adobe AIR applications.
The Spaz Twitter application and The Bee Wordpress/Flickr desktop app, to be specific.
I think gluing these tools together and working it in with something like FlickrFan would make for a really useful app.
Want to beat me to the punch and become an hero?
Here’s the […]
