Watch Sunday Night Football Live Online

daver — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 05:38:33 +0000

It was another weekend of football around my house. With the Chicago Cubs going down in 3, my hope was for a good showing by my college teams and the Bears to win over the Lions. All went well for my teams - and Dave was happy. As I wrote up my experience with Live Streaming MLB Playoffs, I started to be upset at myself for not commenting on the...

Watch MLB Playoffs Live Online

daver — Fri, 03 Oct 2008 03:30:29 +0000

Recently I was able to watch a Sunday Night Football game live and online and it was great. Everything about it was great. The video quality was good, the sound, the option to switch back and forth from different camera angles - all I can say is that it was well done. Tonight I had some work to do and thought I would see if I could watch the Cubs...

Twitter WordPress Plugin

For a long time I have heard good things about twitterfeed but much like graywolf I hate to use 3rd party applications that ask for my username and password. So what else could I do but go on a hunt for a Twitter WordPress plugin? I did a seach on WordPress for "twitter" and found some possible options but only 2 really stood out as probables: Twitpress by Tom Purnell...

Kwippy Guide

daver — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 04:41:37 +0000

Im not sure if this is a guide or a review of Kwippy - or if its somewhere in the middle. I was sent an invite to Kwippy from @mktackabery (thanks!) and signed up. Due to some work I needed to finish I was unable to play around much until tonight. What is Kwippy? Kwippy is another microblogging site that appears to look and act more like Pownce than Twitter....

TweetDeck Review

daver — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 19:39:35 +0000

Another day, another Twitter Application. TweetDeck is built much like Twirl in that it is build on the Adobe Air platform, but little else appears to be the same. TweetDeck has all of the same options you can get in the web version of Twitter, or in applications such as Twirl, Twitterfox, or a Twitterlicious. You can Re-tweet, Direct Message, and Reply to anyone of your friends. It is missing...

Evri Review

daver — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 04:19:53 +0000

I constantly sign-up for Betas and Alphas and usually Im let down. I know that its a Beta/Alpha but I just dont see a use for many of the products I look at. Times when I do see promise, they are so far from being scalable and full featured that I simply move on to the next "great" thing. Im not sure where Evri.com fits with my past Beta looks...

TwitterFox Review

daver — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 13:00:04 +0000

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...

Twitterlicious Review

daver — Mon, 17 Mar 2008 03:25:12 +0000

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....

Seesmic Initial Thoughts

daver — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 06:01:13 +0000

Well I logged into my email tonight and found a Seesmic invitation code. I have put my initial thoughts down here and will follow with a better and more in depth review in the coming weeks hopefully. Register section is all flash and doesnt seem to let me copy and paste my invitation code. Quite annoying. Why do services make you register and then login? Are you just checking? If...

Twitter Review

daver — Mon, 29 Oct 2007 00:54:30 +0000

A quick FAQ on what Twitter is. Twitter is a micro-blogging platform where all posts must be 140 characters or less. It basically lets you do quick posts that your friends and family can follow and respond to. Twitter had allowed you to send in messages via your cell phone but due to some problems it was down for a few weeks (estimated the time). The SMS feature has again...
