Twitter List Evolution of #FollowFriday

When it first started, I use to pay close attention to the recommendations that came out of Follow Friday on Twitter. In it’s current form however, it’s just become noise. When I see a tweet that has the hashtag and just a bunch of names, I completely ignore it. If this is all that someone wants to do, they should just create a weekly Twitter List. It’s cleaner and gives...

Quick Take from Gartner Social Software Magic...

James Lundy shared the 2009 edition of Gartner’s Social Software Magic Quadrant on the ITxpo floor at Symposium in Orlando. Considering that he had just 20mins to present the topic, he did a great job fitting in high value content. The public version is to be posted tomorrow (yes, I have a pic but he asked everyone not to post it). Here’s some highlights from the brief...

Fring is back on iPhone home screen!

Over the weekend Fring released an update for their multi-IM client + VoIP app which added push notifications that are supported by iPhone OS 3.0. With this latest update, which I’ve been waiting for, the app has once again been promoted to my iPhone’s home screen. It’s come in handy a couple of times already (like when I was grabbing lunch) and as with always it’s great...

Here’s the rough chronology. I may have missed some letters in the middle, but points A and Z are pretty accurate. Melissa Chang runs a blog...

The Suite @ Foster Harris House on April 25th

I’d booked this room for the wife and I, but she’s out of town because of a family emergency so I can’t make it. It’s non-refundable, and I don’t want the room to go to waste. The room is The Suite at the Foster Harris House book for $339 for the one night. It’s supposed to really nice out there, and this B&B is rated as 5/5 on TripAdvisor. I’m...

Best of Inc. Magazine - March 2009

Inc. is one of few publications that I read end to end. I always find little tidbits that I want to remember. It used to be dog-eared pages amidst stacks of old issues.

Sure, I’ve considered cancelling them a number of times but the reality is that they come in handy at the gym when I want to keep myself distracted. Keeping entire issues around is certainly not...

30 Rock is hilarious. My fav characters are Tracy, Jack, and Kenneth. Here’s a classic moment with Kenneth from last week’s episode reverting to his farm boy accent. If you haven’t seen the show before, catch up on older episodes on Hulu.

Tweetie 1.3 is available now! →

Saw the post and downloaded it immediately! Tweetie is by the far the best iPhone Twitter app. My only complaint had really been the Retweet message style (via vs. RT) which is now a user configurable option. If you’re a Twitter user and have an iPhone, Tweetie @ $2.99 is a no-brainer.
