Like a lot of people, I dig FriendFeed. I find that it is much easier to have conversations on FriendFeed. And those conversations are based around the actual content we all produce on the Internet. Frickin’ awesome.
The FriendFeed API, of course, allows for the creation of applications that will allow you to monitor FriendFeed from [...]

It really is a shame when you see a service like Twitter put one foot into the door of mainstream and then start foundering so colossally and publicly. I can’t remember the last time I’ve seen a company have problems so publicly and drop the ball this hard.
Well, it isn’t as if Twitter is [...]

I think Robert Scoble suffers from the disease of early adopter-itis. What does that mean? Well, like many tech bloggers (including myself), Scoble is an early adopter. This means he tries new things way ahead of most of the people on the Internet. When you’re way out ahead, the problem is that you forget that [...]

As Cordiva would call this, this is "awesomesauce". It is called Twellow.

Twellow is a new site which serves as a directory of Twitter users. A who’s who kind of thing. Various Twitter people are organized into categories and you can then better find them. If you are looking for other bloggers, for example, check [...]

A few days ago, my response to Plurk was: BORING! I don’t like the interface and I think it is too hard to track down and add friends. I’m sure they thought the horizontal timeline was a novel concept, but I personally find it to be incredibly frustrating.

Today’s news: Plurk is set to release an [...]

This last week, we saw Plurk enter into our mindset. I first found out about it on FriendFeed and, of course, all the tech bloggers and early adopters on that site went and signed up for Plurk immediately. As did I.
Now, Plurk is basically a Twitter wannabe. The concept is the same, but they use [...]

Those of us who use Twitter a lot know that Twitter is out of the early adopters phase. Twitter is practically becoming a standard bearer for micro-blogging (which of course is sad when you consider how often Twitter crashes).
It is only a matter of time before spammers take on new mediums and start using them [...]

This would be the pre-flight safety speech:
When the “something is technically wrong” sign illuminates, you must fasten your seat belt. Insert the metal fittings one into the other, and tighten by pulling on the loose end of the strap. To release your seat belt, lift the upper portion of the buckle. We suggest that [...]

Warning: The following post will be seen as some as a party foul.
Sometimes I can’t help but wonder if geek bloggers just get excited about everything that comes down the pike or do they really look to see what the value is first. Case in point: Toluu.com.
Now let me be clear: I’m not [...]

OK, Twitter. It is time to get your act together. FriendFeed is abuzz with talk of Twitter outages. Bloggers are even staging Twit-Out, where they will, for a day, boycott Twitter and use FriendFeed exclusively. Bwana may have started the idea, but it spread quickly because bloggers talk and bloggers dig Twitter.
Twit-Out is today (May [...]
