The FriendFeed Orgasm And Why It Is Off The Mark

I am a happy user of Twitter. Like a lot of people, it took me some time to realize the value of Twitter. My initial reaction was somewhere between “This is stupid as hell” and “It’s useless”. Today, however, I have been using Twitter for a little while. I do use it to network with [...]

Another Reason Twitter is Cool

I was shopping for airline tickets this afternoon. I needed a round trip from Tampa, FL to Phoenix, AZ. I’m going out there for an internet marketing retreat put on by Harris Fellman.

Alert Thingy 1.3 - Talk About Timing

What a case of crazy timing. The day after I compare Alert Thingy to Twhirl, Alert Thingy comes out with a new version that pretty much addresses my major beef. The app now allows you to follow tweets in addition to FriendFeed, allowing the app to be used on both. It even goes to the [...]

I have been a little wishy-washy on this whole Twitter thing. But, now I am a little less so. Why? Because I think I have finally settled on a reason why I will use it.
Twitter is easily one of those things you put into the “fad” category. And perhaps it is a bad, [...]

Twitter a BlowHard Platform?

When I was at Gnomedex, people were sending out “tweets” all the time on Twitter. I found it to be really ironic, actually, considering that my conversations with people usually gravitate to the fact that Twitter is rather useless. But, since bloggers are usually first in line to try the latest [...]

Is Twitter of Any Use to Anybody?

Twitter has turned into a bit of a phenomenon. The site has earned a love/hate relationship among bloggers, usually with them trying to figure out if the thing has ANY use at all. Well, that’s a good question. I saw a post over at LifeHacker that asked Is Twitter Worth Your Time? I was curious [...]
