Well, there's no problem to launch iTunes on yet another platform - Android.

Re: Brizzly and Seesmic Web Get Into the Twitter Lists Game as Well

If you are working with a network marketing co., start up a twitter account using your personal name. By doing so, you are branding you. If you have your own business, than I recommend starting an account with your business name.

Re: TweetDeck iPhone Update Fail Makes the Day "Manic".

louismg — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 17:21:03 -0000

Looking forward to extended TweetDeck mania next week - of a positive variety. Like many others, I've been trying to get the iPhone app throughout the day, and hope to see it soon. Want me to drive over to Apple HQ and give a little knock on the front door? :)

Hey Louis, yes not exactly the kind of "manic" I was hoping for. To answer your question frankly, even though the bug never once surfaced in all our testing, the buck stops with us - simple as that. Lots more "manic" to come next week...

TweetDeck has been crashing since day one on my 3G S. I am usually able to mitigate most crashes though, by waiting for all tweets to load before scrolling through or enlarging any of the windows.

Good post. Dynamic market. I think that @cw has an unfair competitive advantage given his past and Brizzly is going to get increasingly better and harder to compete with.

I like Brizzly, but the interface is complex for a new twitter user imo. That's why I came with tweetcetera.com, something as simple and usable as facebook. I'll try to integrate list this week as well.

Brizzly is the best web based Twitter client. Seesmic and Tweetdeck have major design flaws, they look more like stock market monitoring software than a Twitter client.

Maybe I am just too used to Facebook's homepage and find Brizzly to be superior from its counterparts

Very interesting - thanks!

johnhaydon — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 11:51:17 -0000

Thanks, Louis. I wonder how many more hundreds of sites will be born from Twitter Lists? ;-)

Re: Listiti Watches Selected Twitter Lists for Keywords and Alerts

twitter-15109069 — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 20:13:22 -0000

I think what will matter is not how many lists a person is on, but "which" lists a person is on.

Re: Listiti Watches Selected Twitter Lists for Keywords and Alerts

samksethi — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 19:17:28 -0000

This is very powerful, until now I have used hashtags in tweetdeck columns to track events/topics. Once Tweetdeck adds support lists I will be able to follow both lists and hashtags. Now with Listi I can track keywords just as I used to do with Particls (from Chris Saad). It will be interesting to see how these lists develop overtime.

Personally I think we are at the dawn of a reputation system. Lists are not something I can chose to be on. I am only added when others choose to add me. The more lists a person is on might be one measure of their reputation. Equally if we can tag people or digg vote them up on a list it might show us who is an expert in any list or topic.

Lopinukas — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 18:27:21 -0000

Wow those apps looks really nice. I am using my iPhone a lot because the biggest part of my life I should spend outside my house.. So I can see my laptop one time in a month or few months. Huge thanks to Apple for distributing such a miracle as iPhone is. I can do almost everything with it. Thanks for reviewing Regator app, I will definitely download and install it. Thanks one more time and I will be waiting for other great articles from you in the future.

Sincerely,

Paul Timmson from iphone development

Twitpay’s Michael Ivey is also quoted on his decision to upgrade to PayPal X from Amazon Payments due to our “huge user base.”

Wow Jesse, how much is Amazon giving you anyway?... Not big in Canada either.

Been using Wave for a couple days now. Two words: re-tarded.

People are already so thoughtless about e-writing; if this catches on (which I doubt) it'll make things worse.

Re: Seesmic Desktop To be First Major Twitter Client With Built-In Lists

Re: Could A Real Apple Fan Completely "Go Google"?

jinkhet — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 16:21:32 -0000

Great article, Louis!

This is the exact situation I've found myself in, and other than my Macbook Pro, almost every service is from Google (calendar, mail, voice, contacts, RSS, docs). When I unloaded my iPhone for a G1 during the winter (I've since upgraded to the horribly-named "myTouch" and left AT&T), that was also the end of any consideration of MobileMe as well. The fact that google supports open standards (for most of their products) and data portability generally keeps me from getting _too_ nervous about them.

Re: Why I Wouldn't Accept $25,000 To Stop Using Google Reader for a Year

MartinB — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 12:28:20 -0000

Thank you for the hint, Louis. As a Feedly-beginner who installed it last week for the first time I should read your article this evening to get a better introduction.

I like most that Feedly is fast and great to post to Twitter, and if I can also manage to save my bookmarks in Diigo using Ping.fm I should integrate my opml from webanalyticsupdate.com back into my Google Reader. ;-) For me it was a reason to put these feeds onto a separate page, because my Google Reader appeared to be too "full" and slow with more than 600 feeds.

Recently I heard from a group of journalists who attended a course on better internet research. They were introduced to RSS and taught how to use the dynamic bookmarks feature and newsfox... In fact I have no idea why they still rely on these kind of solutions. ;-)

louismg — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 12:01:26 -0000

Martin, glad to hear you like Google Reader. I also know Feedly well,
and enjoy that product. I was the first ever to write about Feedly,
and have covered the service several times since its launch last June.

MartinB — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 11:53:47 -0000

I like your post very much, because we both have exactly the same opinion. Btw. I found you using feedly. If you want to try another reader interface without giving up Google Reader, I'd suggest you to try this great addon for Google Reader and Firefox. (www.feedly.com). Both work hand in hand and do it very well.

Re: Stalqer: A Location Sharing App for Real Friends

Otto4242 — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 10:13:48 -0000

Hah! I worked out how it does it!

Basically, it creates a fake email account in your phone. When your phone checks this email account, it gives their servers information, like your IP address. They can use that for a general location fix, or they can use Push to talk back to their app and have it send them updated location info.
