Twitter and the new era of Everywhere Messaging

I’ve just jumped into the twitter world with both feet, and I have to admit that I love it. You can’t help but feel connected with folks as you get micro-updates about what they’re up to. clipped from www.socialmediaclub.orgInstant Messaging (IM) is not dead or even dying, but EM is about to change everything.

Sometimes, people are just awesome

Is it just me, or is there an abnormally large number of great folks in the new web communities that have sprung up in the past few years? Maybe it’s the fact that most of the people I’m working with lately are into the idea of creating or participating in something great, rather than making [ READ MORE ]

Google filters for “badware?”

I clicked on a link in a Google search today, and got this message: I guess I appreciate this, but when did Google start policing the web? Seems like it would be big news![ READ MORE ]

Get free videogames in the mail

Okay – so technically they’re not completely free since you have to trade some of your old games for them, but really, we’re you going to play Counter Strike anymore now that you’ve got an XBOX 360? I’m not traditionally a console gamer, so I’ve gotten very little use out of the game-trading site Goozex [ READ MORE ]

If you did like seeing what I found interesting on the net, you can subscribe to my delicious links feed here: http://del.icio.us/rss/Glitch010101 I’ll also be [ READ MORE ]

Dig reports this: ; < > DiG 9.3.1 < > feltuptv.com ;; global options: printcmd ;; connection timed out; no servers could be [ READ MORE ]

DIY – doing more with less

Grr. I really have to learn to save more. I just lost a great long post, but it’s going to force a rewrite and two separate posts here, which is a good thing. Short summary: I’m in a Do It Yourself panel right now that’s giving me a lot of great advice. I’m sorry to [ READ MORE ]

“Summarize” tool on Mac OSX

Watching a presentation by Carl Decordova on “blogging behind the firewall,” I was just shown a fun little tool on mac… Select text, go to file -> services ->summarize. Move the slider, and it will automatically go from 1 line summary to full text. It’s brilliant, and available programmatically, so you can use it in [ READ MORE ]
