Identi.ca: Twitter Killer or a Distraction?
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 [...]
Scoble is Wrong About Blog Comments Being Dead
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 [...]
Twellow Helps You Find Fellow Twitterers
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 [...]
Plurk API Could Change The Race
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 [...]
Why Plurk Is Unexciting And Boring
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 [...]
Twitter Spammers, Who Are They?
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 [...]
If Twitter Were An Airline…
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 [...]
Twitter Is Killing Itself, Slowly but Surely
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 [...]
Top 10: Signs You’re Addicted to Twitter and/or FriendFeed
You’re on the FriendFeed website and find yourself refreshing the page rather than waiting for the auto-refresh. F5 is worn out. You realize you need to turn off Twitter or FriendFeed to get any work done. Problem is, you “realized” that an hour ago, too. You get overly excited when you get a new follower. [...]
No, Links are NOT Dead, Scoble and Gillmore
Yesterday, in the FriendFeed noise pool that I started with my post on FriendFeed, Scoble reacted to my post and ultimately ended up posting a well written response on his blog. That’s great and all, but I noticed (and pointed out to him) that he decided to link to the FriendFeed conversation rather than my [...]
