Today I will talk about Digsby, which integrates e-mail, IM, and social networking. Also tips on how to get you more Twitter followers. And finally I will talk about my five-year old GameBoy Advance SP. Here we go.

I stumbled upon Digsby while searching for people on Twitter. The user I found using Digsby was, surprisingly, @santaclaus. So I asked my followers if Digsby was any good. Two people responded, @evanrocks010 and @thirtydaes, both with very positive remarks. So I went to download Digsby and got my accounts in order. (Digsby can sync your Gmail, MSN, AOL, any IMAP or POP mail, also almost any IM account. It also can get your Twitter, Facebook, or your MySpace.) After the first day of using Digsby, I have to say it is a pretty cool application. I may not use it for Twittering — I have Tweetdeck for that — but for my IM clients it’s amazing. I highly recommend this client for anyone who has more than a few IM accounts. I am going to give Digsby a 94%.

Now I have been on Twitter for a little more than 10 months, and I have currently a little over 260 followers. I started actually using Twitter in March, in only five months I have gained 250 followers. How did I do it? I did two things.

1. Tweet tweets you know people would like. I am hugely into tech, so I mostly tweet about techie things. Tweet about what you like.
2. When people stopped following me, I looked at other people on Twitter. The people with the most followers followed more people than they had followers (ex: Jason Calacanis). I just started doing this, and there is a way to get a better result. Follow people who are following more people than followers, if you get that you’re brilliant. Here is an example. I am following 500+ people. But I have 260+ followers. When I do get a follower, I follow them back. If you get it, you can follow me, I will follow back.

Finally I am going to talk about my old Nintendo SP. It is just about 5.5 years old, and it still is an amazing piece of technology. Some of the design is seen in the new DS Lite. Like the power button concept is like the DS Lite’s. I still love using my SP for light gaming. Playing some Super Mario Bros 2 is extremely fun. The best thing about the SP is that it plays GameBoy color and GameBoy games. So the SP has a huge selection. If I rated the SP back when I got it, the SP would get a 97%. But now, in the age of the DS, I give it a 91%.

That is all for this Tuesday, July 22. Do not forget to follow me on Twitter — 40 until the 300 mark!
