My Gmail Inbox Is Filled With Spam Linking to Google Groups
2008-08-06 05:41:00 You certainly have to hand it to the spammers ? they are nothing if not resourceful. I have no idea how they?re doing this, but lately I?ve been getting tons (and I mean tons) of spam in my Gmail inbox. Not my Spam folder but my actual inbox. Although my email address is publicly ...

Posty: Now Smaller With Identi.ca Support
2008-08-01 19:53:00 Other Adobe AIR clients have had trouble competing with Twhirl thanks to that app?s overwhelming popularity among Twitter users, but a little app called Posty has a shot. That?s mainly due to the fact that it offers the ability to multi-post to a number of services in a manner that?s similar to how HelloTxt ... More About: Friend , Support , Feed
Whoa! I Just Got Feedly Results in My Google Search Results
2008-07-31 22:28:00 Apparently, I missed this little update on the Feedly blog: ?feedly + google search experiment.? It read: One of the first pieces of feedback we received when we launched beta 1 was to extend feedly?s search capabilities.

My Blog Leaderboard ? It?s All About the Sharers
2008-07-30 15:08:00 Over the weekend, Louis Gray posted on his blog ?Roll Your Own Blog Leaderboard With Google Reader Trends.? After seeing his article, of course I had to look at My Google Reader trends, too. A couple of things immediately jumped out at me. One, I?m guilty of self-promotion and My Google Reader trends certainly ... More About: Blogging

Oh, Happy Day! TwitterBerry Does DMs
2008-07-26 14:01:00 I realize that I?m one of the last people that still care about anything Blackberry -related right now, but that?s because I?m having to wait for my contract to run out with T-Mobile . Believe me, when it does, I?m all over the 3G iPhone. Unfortunately, until then I?m stuck with my Blackberry Pearl. That?s why ... More About: Happy , Twitter
Why I Ditched My Friends On Digg
2008-07-25 22:41:00 I?ll admit, I never was deeply involved in the Digg community. Sure, I enjoyed reading through the news and digging items I liked, but I didn?t have any goals to become a super-digger or form more intimate with relationships with any of the site?s users. Perhaps this lack of involvement made me a little ... More About: Friends
Identi.ca Adds Features, Gets Into Twhirl
2008-07-22 01:25:00 After the initial rush to try out Identi.ca, not everyone stuck around. Why? Maybe it?s because Twitter started stabilizing and no longer was Identi.ca needed as a backup to Twitter. Or maybe it was a shiny new thing for some, but after playing with it, the shininess wore off. Whatever the reason, it seemed ... More About: Features
Local Tweets on AIR
2008-07-19 22:55:00 Yesterday, I asked the question ?Who do you follow on Twitter ??

Five Things I Meant To Blog About
2008-07-18 22:27:00 You know how this goes ? you mark it for later and then don?t get around to it. Maybe these wouldn?t have filled out an entire blog post or maybe there?s not that much to say about them, but they?re worth a mention nonetheless. They?re kind of awesome.

Who Do You Follow?
2008-07-18 15:27:00 Chrissie Brodigan (@chrissieb) was looking for recommendations about who to follow on Twitter . It?s sort of a hard thing to say because determining who?s ?best? is so subjective. If you?re a web designer, you?ll want to follow other designers; if you?re a tech geek, you?ll want to follow other tech geeks; etc. etc. There are ...
Zumobi Works + Other Blackberry Apps To Try
2008-07-18 13:18:00 I?ll admit, it?s literally killing me to not have an iPhone right now. I can?t afford the extra $200 for the early termination of my T-Mobile contract which doesn?t expire until January. I know I?m being practical by waiting ? I?m not a rich girl and I have bills to pay, but I?m ranking ... More About: Blackberry , Works
Zumobi Comes to Blackberry
2008-07-17 11:04:00 No iPhone 2.0 yet? Me neither. I?m sticking with my Blackberry Pearl until January when my T-Mobile contract runs out. (I?m nothing if not practical.) The iPhone news is killing me though, so I thought I would spread a little love for the other smartphone for a change: Zumobi has come to the Blackberry ...

2008-07-16 09:15:00 How exciting! I just blogged this news over on ReadWriteWeb: Windows Live Mesh is Microsoft ?s software+services data synchronization platform. Because of its complex nature, most people assume that file synchronization is all there is to Live Mesh, but in reality, that?s just the tip of the iceberg. Microsoft has big plans for the service ... More About: Open
Can?t Buy Me Love ? Why Getting Digg Hosts to Pimp the Zune Fell Flat
2008-07-15 00:14:00 The Microsoft Zune is definitely the underdog when it comes to MP3 music players. In this market, there is only one king and everyone knows it?s the iPod. It?s hard for anyone offering an alternative MP3 player to get ahead, even when they have the marketing budget of a company like Microsoft. And the ... More About: Music , Love , Pimp

Syncing My Friends, Feeling the Social Media Burn
2008-07-08 19:43:00 I?ve been looking into ways to get my followers in sync between the various services I?m using, mainly Friend Feed , Twitter, Facebook, and Identi.ca. It?s not easy. Of course there?s the Twitter 2 FriendFeed Importer, but ultimately, adding contacts is still very much a manual process these days. I tend to batch this process on ...

Identi.ca Gets A Reply Tab, Actually Becomes Useful
2008-07-07 16:56:00 After my initial Identi.ca lovefest, I quickly became swamped with invites to connect with others on the service (I?m still working through my inbox on those, by the way ? someone build me a ?follow my followers app??). Of course, once you have followers and friends, you have conversations. And god forbid you have ...
