Howdy! As you may have noticed I’ve installed a Tweetmeme button in the Share section of each post. Basically, it’s just a retweet counter which lets you promote the current post via a retweet on Twitter. More info about Tweetmeme and how it works can be found on their website and the official Tweetmeme WordPress plugin page is here. Anyways, I found it a little bit nasty having only...
Twitter: Just Another Way To Follow Nice People
Yeah I know there are loads of articles on following nice people on Twitter and getting followed back, but I found this method using WeFollow and TweetDeck very effective. And remember, in social media it’s not only about the quantity! Most of you heard about a Twitter directory called Twellow. Well, to me it’s kinda old and also annoying when you have to register and fill out your...
WordPress Junkies: Blogging via iPhone
I wrote about offline blogging with Windows Live Writer some time ago, and now I realized that it’s not that fun! Alright, I have two good news. The first one’s that I received approval for my second wordpress plugin (Related External Links) to be hosted at the official WordPress Plugin Directory. I commited the first beta a few minutes ago so go ahead and vote it up: Related External...
A Reason to Love TwitScoop
As many of you have already heard, Gmail servers have been down lately and Twitter was there to prove this. Instead of asking “Is it me or is Gmail offline” you could have just looked at the TwitScoop realtime cloud and remain silent, or perhaps tweet some “Experiencing problems with #gmail too…” just to keep up the trends. Wonderful, huh? I’m also glad that...
Blog Redesigned: Hi, This is the New Me!
Done! Wohooo! That seemed to take forever but my brand new WordPress theme is now complete and polished. Apperantly this is my first ever WordPress theme done from scratch. I started sketching like a week ago in Corel PaintShop Pro X2 (btw I don’t like to do Photoshop ’cause I’ve been using PaintShop Pro for around 6 years and got pretty much used to it. Looking forward to Adobe...
TweetDeck & Seesmic Desktop on Fedora 10
Hey just got TweetDeck running on my Fedora 10 Laptop. It took me about 20 minutes to figure this out, I just had some permission issues (error 5100). Go get the latest Adobe Air from the official Adobe Air website and save it somewhere. Then you’ll have to chmod +x the .bin file to be able to execute it. Run it using your root account – that should install Adobe Air and some...
I'm on Friend Connect!
I’ve finally found some time to setup a Google Friend Connect profile for my website, it was pretty easy by the way, so you should create one as well. And if you do, make sure you connect to my profile. Oh, and I tweeted out my ICQ number and e-mail address yesterday to public. It took me around 20 seconds to realize I did that, and around 5 seconds to remove it. Question – should I...
Wired News & Twitter
I’ve read an entry in the livejournal webdev community today – a link to a great blog post on Wired News about “the battle of the browsers”. Following the link I got onto the Wierd News Blogs website, and with a timeout of about 5 seconds I received a javascript popup message asking for my Twitter username and password. This looks like scam. Why the heck would a PR9 news...
Websites That Suck!
A couple of weeks ago I made a new friend on Twitter – Aaron, a web developer from Severna Park, MD. He posted a link to his new blog post on his website about websites that suck. I loved the idea and subscribed to his RSS feed. Yes, there are billions of webs out there that really suck, and I’m glad that Aaron’s getting them all in once place. Aaron describes the things done...
Working in Web 2.0
Somebody on Twitter yesterday posted a link to UADDit with photos of workplaces in web 2.0 companies, such as Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, Last.fm, Mozilla and others. I just couldn’t resist, so here they are:
The last.fm pictures are my favourite! The original post is at uaddit.com discussions.
