How to have a conversation across three social networks

pre-alpha

I’ve made a couple videos on the new service Seesmic today. Seesmic post one in which I give some feedback. Seesmic post two in which Tim makes faces. Seesmic is pretty cool, but still in “pre-alpha” as they’re calling it. It’s so new I don’t even have a profile page I can link you to. [...]

PodCamp Philly!

A few highlights of my weekend at PodCamp Philly, as a new PodCamper, podcast fan, and potential podcaster: Rooming with Kathryn Jones. I met Kathryn on Twitter and we’ve worked together on the site for her production company, Synchronis.TV, so we decided to share the cost of a hotel room. She’s producing (and acting in) [...]

My Twitter Upgrade

Twitter was offline most of the day. We’ve been told upgrades were happening, although I don’t see any- hopefully they were increasing under-the-hood stuff. It does seem to be working quite quickly now. People still look at me cross-eyed when I mention Twitter. Even I sometimes wonder why I hang around, with all the technical [...]

Do not taunt happy exercise ball chair

I’m gently perched back on my exercise ball after a months-long switch back to my very un-ergonomic chair. I was back to the chair for a couple reasons. The big one was that during the migration from PC to my new MacBook I had both computers (and three monitors) set up around me, and an [...]

A quick post while the computer does its thing.

Since I returned from my vacation my butt has been practically glued to my chair (which reminds me that now that I’m no longer swiveling between two computers I should switch back to the exercise ball!) I’ve been working on a few different projects, and while I complain about it I’m actually glad the weather’s [...]

My PC is dying

I had it going for awhile streaming the Live Earth feeds today. It’s been groaning for awhile but this was an awful grinding I’ve never heard before. Luckily I’m nearly done moving files to my new MacBook.

Social Network Overdosing

I can’t stand it anymore! I belong to at least 10 social networks, plus a couple email lists and a few forums. No one has that kind of time. Even this barely employed freelancer/SAHM. Except maybe those lucky few who get paid to bounce around the internet socializing (hiring? Call me, babe!) Facebook- three strikes, [...]

Twitter-fame is fleeting

The old paradigm that a story in the paper = your 15 minutes of fame is dead. Yesterday I was featured in a story in the Star-Ledger newspaper about Twitter, which included my blog address. It was an interesting but pretty low-key experience. Despite the prominent placement of the article on page two of the [...]

How Twitter May Change My Life

I’m four weeks into Twitter and I’m still amazed with it. It hasn’t turned out to be what I expected at all. I initially thought of Twitter as just a micro-blog feed. I’d post my tweets and feed them to my blog sidebar. I didn’t know anyone else using the service, in fact to this [...]

Live, from your menu, it’s The Chef!

The other night I had all those great ideas that I lost (I was able to recover a couple of them, but of course in the daylight they don’t seem so great.) But the other morning, just before I woke up, I had a dream of a product I think is genius! There’s a technology [...]

Tumbling

I’m still playing with the layout a bit. I’m going to add a couple plug-ins, but I don’t want to go plug-in crazy here. Twitter is still a little wonky so I’ve removed my latest tweets from the sidebar and added my Tumblr feed instead. I’ve got Twitter running through there (so it’s a bit [...]

My theme is done!

I’ve still got some tweaking to do, but after a day (wow, it’s nearly midnight!) of non-stop messing around, I have my design pretty close to what I wanted. It’s so easy for me to lose myself in projects like this. I don’t want to break for anything! I need to learn to break up [...]

More Twitter stuff!

I thought Twittermap was pretty cool, but today debuts Twittervision! I may never be productive again. Both of these are from one guy.  I wonder what others will come up with?

Well, I like Twitter

I’m reading all the love notes to and diatribes against Twitter. Slow down, people! Some people, including me, think maybe you’re all taking this way too seriously. Maybe (and likely) I’m not typical because I’m not in the industry (whatever that may mean.) I’m just a blogger who blogs for fun. Twitter is just another [...]
