Recently I have become for a better word – addicted to StumbleUpon. I cant count the number of laughs and really informative sites about Web Analytics, CSS, and so on that I have found since I started using it more often. One problem I have come across while using it more was a lack of diversity in the people I followed and was friends with – I keep seeing the…
So Im up and about on a Sunday morning and am catching up on the last 12 hours of Twitter – you can miss some good stories/link drops. After finding a few interesting articles I come across a bit of a fight between @whoppervirgins and @theBKlounge which you can see here: Now I find it funny that @theBKlounge sent a cease and desist over Twitter but as a Marketer I…
Back in March I was able to watch the Winter Music Conference shake its groove thing at night thanks to Yahoo Live. It seems that Y! Live will be shutting down on December 3, 2008. Earlier this week I read about Revver having financial issues, but the Founder answered the rumor and stated that they were simply migrating to a different and better provider. I personally dont believe him, but…
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…
So recently I had the brilliant idea to put together a bit of a survey and see how others used Twitter. Well, I did it. I did have to do some twitter whoring to get the 100 responses, but it did work. I kept it short and sweet and only had 10 questions. Why did I pick 10 questions? Good question. People like Top 10 lists Im lazy and only…
Im not sure why I decided to do this, but I have. If you have time, I ask that you take this quick *….deleted link……* In the next few days I will tally the results and share the how, where and why that people use Twitter. Thanks, Daver UPDATE – 8/6/2008 Thanks to all that filled out the survey, the results are now up in a different post: Twitter Survey…
I really was going to stay away from April Fool’s and the jokes and all the assuming everything is a joke – but I failed. I must give credit to the best, well most costly (Im guessing) and perhaps the most involved joke that I saw today: The Legend of Zelda Movie Trailer. You can tell by watching it that it doesnt look “big studio” like but there are parts…
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…
As I use Twitter more and more I have been talking to more and more people. The only problem is that when you are using the web interface you must type the person’s name in constantly. I often times have used Twitter’s site to go back to what I have missed but then used TwitterFox to reply. I can hit a small arrow within TwitterFox and quickly get a name…
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…
