Twitter Adds Stalking Feature‽

(Yes, that is an interrobang.) Tell me you don’t think that statement deserves one.
With all the new features being added to Twitter, I’m not sure this is really needed, though people like Ashton Kutcher and Sarah Palin will probably like it.
Download Squad explains a bit more -
Third-party Twitter apps have access to nearly all of [...]

Sarah Palin – Could She Be The Second Internet President?

Did I just say that? I certainly hope i doesn’t come true. I do wonder it though.
Today, Palin’s book begins to be sold while already being considered at number one. Though the mainstream “gotcha” media, as she would put it, always tries to marginalize her ability to rally people to her cause, I see an [...]

Trillian Astra Gets Better, Goes to 4.1 Beta, Fewer Nits to Pick

When I first tried Astra, I was amazed at how much it had changed from the 3.x release of the program. I was also impressed with the smooth working behavior.
To be honest, I must not stress the program much, because I have only noticed an occasional bug where I have to stop and reboot to [...]

Twitter – More About You Than Yahoo Will Ever Be

Though the new slogan from Yahoo would seem to indicate the focus was on each user, it must take a back seat in that department compared to the likes of Twitter.
A recent study, done by Rutgers University, shows that Twitter is the most egocentric thing happening on the internet, and that when someone tweets it [...]

Sticks and Stones Can Break My Bones, But Cyberbullying Is A Focus of Congress

When I think back to my formative years, I remember quite a bit of trouble with people who made fun, or said mean things about me. I was usually the new kid, as my step-father was in the Army, and since his job was a missile engineer, we tended to get moved around a great [...]

Possible Value In Miscellaneous Ramblings- Twitter Valued At Up to $1 Billion

I can hear all the rambling, train of thought, disjointed speakers now, claiming that this validates their inane style. Through a minor twist and some financial wrangling, entrepreneur Biz Stone’s Twitter is now given a value of up to $1 billion - in actual dollars.
Hard to believe, and yet inevitably believable, the entity seems to [...]

Darwin’s Voyage - Reenacted

The voyage that took Charles Darwin to places like the Galapagos Islands, has been undertaken again, and will be available for inspection during the entirety of the trip. It is being undertaken by a group of British and Dutch scientists, who will replicate the trip, and make their progress known concurrently through Twitter, Facebook, and [...]

You Know Things Are Bad When…

Sites that have hosted files for years, with no notice of problems, start suddenly using site like RapidShare to ghost host downloads.

The U3 website, which is where specialized versions of various programs, designed to run without a trace on host computers, are found. The site used to be a vibrant place, with new additions to [...]

Instant messaging junkies know Trillian as the only client that will allow a user to be in contact with all their contacts at once, no matter what system the contacts use.

What If the Manufacturers & Providers You Cared About Were on Twitter, & Actually Listened?

I just finished watching Wall Street Journal Report with Maria Bartiromo. This week, among others, she interviewed Kathy Ireland, former model and lust object, about her projects, entrepreneurial spirit, and her ideas about her success.
Kathy said that for her, being on Twitter allowed her constant feedback with her customers, said to be busy mothers, and [...]

Microsoft Vine

After having just received my invitation for Microsoft Vine, I downloaded the software and started to set it up. This is no three-hour-wonder, as many Twitter applications tend to be. The scope of this is such that I think, with very little exposure, it will become very popular with those not wanting to gather as [...]

Australia’s ITWire reports that the Roman Catholic church, and specifically the Pope, is going to be an online presence.
The new “Pope to You” website gives visitors a chance to hear from the pontiff directly and connect with him on social networks.
The new site , aka pope2you.net and P2Y, represents the Vatican’s attempt to “bring the Gospel [...]

Is Twitter So Yesterday?

While it seems that many are joining Twitter daily, those who keep track of statistics state that the retention factor of users is only about 40%. This means that for each ten who sign up, soon 6 of them have ended their time on the 140 character wonder.
A story on ComputerWorld gives a bit more [...]

Any Liar Can Figure, But Do They Also Twitter?

Looking around, there is no doubt that Oprah had an effect on Twitter. Heck, they’re talking about it on the evening news. But the people who are trying to push Twitter upon us can’t get the math correct, or else they are purposely distorting the facts.
On Digital Inspiration, reported is a 24% increase in traffic [...]
