Blogging Lifestreams 2012 and My Personal Cloud

January 2, 2010

Yesterday I was tweaking my blog and generally updating myself with plug-ins and what others are doing with them. When I started blogging back in 2002 I was already thinking about lifestreams. Over the years I’ve blogged about and tried out Linkblogs (before bookmarking / del.icio.us) to both track content I see, help share it, [...]

November 23, 2009

SendSocial via @Aswath (thanks!) and Andy Abramson a varation on using any ID and then brokering the exchange. This is a great variation.

Should a Social Skype add Skeets? How does Skype compete with Twitter? A Rant!

November 10, 2009

I’d love to see Skype follow Brian McConnell’s advice on @gigaom and add an open status updating mechanism. See my “Skype Will Never Beat Facebook from Jan09 so this isn’t the first time it has been discussed in the Skypeosphere. However, he has to go further and I believe Twitter is equally dangerous and may [...]

September 16, 2009

Daniel Terdiman of Cnet reports that Jajah will enable Twitter to talk. There’s a few hints in their announcement. There’s also material differences in what the experience is likely to deliver vs Phweet which was launched 15 months ago and remains in PublicAlpha as we never believed in giving free calls away to grow the [...]

.@biz Twitter Management should consider new Tweet Button rather than settings for Location Based Tweets. eg, map-it or TweetPlus

August 26, 2009

Adding a location option to each tweet will revolutionize Twitter and in fact any micro-blogging service. However, I’m worried about Twitter’s implementation. The thinking (see content below) suggests that people will have to “turn it on” and it will be off by default. Twitter Blog: Location, Location, Location We’re gearing up to launch a new [...]

What You Missed on Twitter by @mrblog – Twitter loss of “real-time” and the “intimacy factor”

May 26, 2009

What You Missed on Twitter is a little program that answers the #fixreplies problem for all those (according to Twitter less than 3% – although that IMHO is a poor statistic) that liked seeing “all@replies”.

What could Apple see in Twitter? Are Tweets – MobileMe 3.0 Notifications? Is Apple really David?

May 7, 2009

I keep reading Apple + Twitter stories and no-one seems to have a clue why it might be a good idea… or a very bad idea… or simply unnecessary. What almost no one does… is tell me a story of why it might be a good idea. This is a crude little thought experiment. An [...]

Today I downloaded and installed the latest Seesmic for Facebook app. I tweeted about it and received a quick notification from @rojajimmy about the latest TweetDeck beta.

March 3, 2009

I wrote a post a long time ago suggesting that presenters be prepared to put up their presentations quickly after a presentation. When I was putting this together I recorded it using Keynote.

February 6, 2009

This post is to put the case for a SuperTweet. I’m positing it in response to an exchange I had last night with @al3x who heads up the Twitter API. The example below is a SuperTweet mock-up in the simplest of terms. I also made a related case “Twitter and the Business Model 2009” for [...]

The TwitterAPI and the Super Tweet

February 6, 2009

I was at the SF Mobile 2.0 Meetup last night where Twitter was the main discussion point. We had short presentations from Twittilator, Twitpic and Twitterfon and then a briefing from @alex who runs Twitter’s API program. I also got to ask a few questions. The answers were candid and from my perspective as a [...]

February 4, 2009

Just a couple of those idea requests partially stimulated by a chris pirillo’s little tweet today. I seemed to get a flurry of twitter comments and thoughts today all of which I’m very thankful for.
