just a few screenshots from the pending Xbox LIVE Update, which will include access to Facebook, Twitter, Last.fm & Zune marketplace. I couldn’t find Last.fm in the preview, but Facebook & Twitter really works well… if you want to be considered for upcoming Xbox preview-programs (this one seems to be closed down), sign up here!
It’s been a while since Twitter discontinued SMS-notification for most users outside the US. there have been plenty of replacements, all of which shared the downside of coming at an additional cost per SMS/Tweet. enter Twe2, which was launched a few weeks ago and is the first 100% free, ad-supported SMS-notification-service I’ve come around. Twe2 [...]
just in time for the weekend, here’s yet another mashup I’ve been working on lately. I guess the claim says it all: Tweetshirt – Your Tweet on a T-Shirt! (http://tweetshirt.me)
it’s pretty self-explanatory, just enter your Twitter-username, and choose the tweet you want printed on a shirt from your recent & favorite tweets. you may [...]
the idea of integrating tweets referencing a particular blog-post (“tweetback”) into the regular comment/backlink-stream of your blog has definitely gained some traction, maybe spurred by this article on Mashable last week. Dan Zarella, who was probably first to implement a Javascript-based solution has now released TweetSuite, a WordPress-plugin rolling up all the Twitter-related features you may ask [...]
don’t get me wrong, it’s great that twhirl added support for identi.ca in their latest release pushed out tonight. at least it will make me use identi.ca more often. however twhirl missed an important point. which is: identi.ca ain’t a Twitter-clone, it’s a distributed Twitter-clone! so it just doesn’t make sense you can’t add any [...]
the net is buzzing on identi.ca, a twitter-esque microblogging-service launched by Evan Prodromou a few days ago. as of today, identi.ca lacks many key-features Twitter has (SMS-gateway, API) or used to have (track). but criticizing identi.ca’s need to catch up is missing the point, as it’s not competing with Twitter on the level of features [...]
sorry for the recent lack of updates on this blog folks… just too much workload…
anyway, just stumbled over these interesing Twitter-client usage-stats at Neoformix…in a nutshell: web-usage is dominating much more than I’ve thought it would…
a common saying in web 2.0-land goes: “one never gets tired of twitter-mashups”. ok, I just made that one up. anyway, here are the three most recent twitter-mashups I’ve come across worth mentioning, in ascending order of hotness (according to my bias).
Tweetwheel
Tweetwheel displays bilateral connections between your twitter-followers (or the followers of any twitter-account, since [...]
while twitter.com still doesn’t provide search, Tweet Scan does a great job in monitoring the twitt-o-sphere, especially since you can subscribe to search-results via RSS. smart people may use this to monitor their brand/name/service, like Comcast apparently is doing.
