Twitter Link Find V14

This is no April fools – I again have only 10 links. That is what happens when Im busy at work and on the weekend. I do admit that in the time I dug through everyone’s link drops, I found some good ones. If you want to see your interesting find on this list some week: find me on twitter. Humor: If you are on Twitter and ever see some…

TwitterFox Review

TwitterFox was named using the KISS principle (keep it simple stupid… or was it keep it stupid simple?). TwitterFox was created by Naan Studio and was originally known as TwitterNotifier. I must say, glad you all changed the name. If you are lost and wondering what the heck Twitter even is, I suggest you go read my Twitter review and follow me (@daver) on Twitter, and then come back when…

Winter Music Conference is Live on Yahoo

So I was reading on Twitter some and a tweet from Yahoo Live came through – it was for the WMC. No way? The conference I want to go to every year but always fail to plan for? Yes, that conference. Who wouldnt want to go? Miami in March? Have you looked outside? Chicago just got more snow tonight. *shakes head in shame* So what is Yahoo Live have to…

Twitter Link Finds V13

The past week I have been super busy, and have a short list of links. Looking over the links I did manage to find on Twitter – I must say they all are some damn good reads. With so much going on we all miss stuff – I hope the list below catches you up on a few stories. For the week the new and random awards go to: Humor:…

12 Ways Social Networks are like High School

I got the idea for this post after reading how Drug dealers and software developers were similar. As I do come from a web developer background – I found it quite amusing (and quite sad at the end) and wondered if I could do the same for Social Media. Below is my feeble attempt to compare High School and Social Networks – enjoy. High School Social Networks 1.Wanting to be…

You want subscribers? I got subscribers.

You constantly hear about how many “subscribers” X company has compared to X company. These numbers usually are comparing their leading 200 million to some 50 million. Perhaps its Comcast and AT&T slugging it out over who has more users. Then you look globally and suddenly feel small.   There are many global companies that have larger populations in their own home countries and will have the power in coming years….

Twitter Link Find V12

Its Monday, and Monday means its Twitter Link Find time. Quick recap – each week I follow some 100+ people on Twitter (learn about Twitter) and many of them read things I dont or dont have time to get to. They randomly drop links and I scoop them up when I can. The best and the ones that I think people might have missed make it into my weekly round…

Twitterlicious Review

Twitterlicious is a windows application for Twitter (obviously). It uses the API as all Twitter applications do (well, the “good” ones) but is a desktop application. There are some other desktop applications but many of the ones I have looked at and used in the past were web based (TwitterFox). Twitterlicious Features: Small and concise UI Hides itself in the system tray when not needed, and offers pop up notification…

Skitch meet Twitter, Twitter meet Skitch

It seems the folks over at Plasq have been busy. Just tonight they added My Twitter to Skitch.com. The only problem is that Skitch is still only available for Macs. *cough cough – Brian – cough cough* Now I have been told us non Mac users will have it one day, and until then I will just be jealous. So what is Skitch? Who is Plasq? Go check them out….
