daver — Fri, 06 Feb 2009 06:36:38 +0000

So I have given in and am writing a post that has a number and some list in it - forgive me this one time. This post is in thanks to @aplusk and others that constantly ask questions on Twitter. You can use Twitter for any number of things but I thought I would just highlight a few of them. So with out further delay, here are some different ways...

10 Unusual Uses for Twitter

New Marketing Campagin? Grab the Username

daver — Sun, 21 Dec 2008 17:04:41 +0000

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...

Twitter WordPress Plugin

daver — Sat, 06 Sep 2008 06:20:40 +0000

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....

10 Question Twitter Survey Results

daver — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 04:30:18 +0000

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...

Today is a good day (for non-iphone owners)

daver — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 17:50:15 +0000

Today I am very glad that I am not such a Fan boy of Apple. On Twitter all I have heard about are the following: ibrick "Checked 2 AT&T stores... lines were about 50 deep at both. Not bad, but I'm not gonna go outta my way." via @kiddisco "Quick, someone make an iPhone fail whale!" via @steverubel Apple's iPhone 2.0 update is failing (Matt Asay/The Open Road) http://tinyurl.com/5mjjhw via@Techmeme...

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...

Web 2.0 Sucks

daver — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 02:44:19 +0000

Yes I said it. - start rant - Why you ask? If a site requires a user to visit it.... and you cant. It sucks. If a website screws up your order what do you do? You shop somewhere else. If you click to read a review and you get an error what do you do? You hit the back button. So why do we put up with it? Perhaps...

It has been quite some time since I had time to blog - and even now I dont have time. I still thought I should try and keep you updated (even if way late) of some great links I have found on Twitter. Over the past few weeks I have spent some time in San Fran, Boston, and here and there - always keeping me super busy. Even as I...

Welcome to another edition of my link find via Twitter. I am a bit late this week but have been super busy working on other (paying) projects - so please forgive. I have passed the 200 follower mark. It isnt near that of others, but Im not worried. On the other side, I am following some 130 people. More people = great links to find = great for you. And...

Welcome to another week of links. I have been sick the past few days and havent been on Twitter. I spent part of the weekend visiting a Dr. - always fun. So this weeks list of links is a weee bit shorter than previous versions. It still has a load of great finds and it seems I owe a shout out to Sugarrae and Dogballs as they were dropping all...

What started as a slow week quickly filled up. I had a great post about a local radio station and how they messed up social media, the online contest and more, but its not going to happen. I waited to long - lesson learned. But, there is still the week in review as seen through my Twitter feed. Below is a list of some of the links I found this...

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...

15 TinyURL Alternatives – Shorten your URLS

daver — Tue, 20 Nov 2007 05:19:46 +0000

The past week or so there have been some snags with the once steady TinyURL and URLtea. The two services have started to take on heavy loads with services like Twitter using the APIs and creating a ginormous amount of links. *Jan 2009 Update* - Scroll down and see the full 17+ list of services. My pick for best service is Zi.ma and a new one (I will be trying...
