  • Twitter Addiction Broken

    I’ve been addicted to Twitter for nearly 16 years. I’ve been very happy about that addiction and have no regrets. It never interfered with my work (when I was working) and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed it in retirement. I rarely (as in almost never) post/tweet (at least not in the last 10+ years, I […]

  • Breaking Social Networking Interconnections

    Many (most?) people post updates to multiple Social Networks. Rather than hand-picking which networks get which updates, most of the multi-network types (nearly all?) post the identical update to all networks, simultaneously, automatically. There are many ways to do that, including services specifically meant to accomplish that (Ping.fm, FriendFeed, etc.), or multi-protocol clients […]

  • Droid Rocks

    For those who don’t like to read, I’ll start with my bottom line, then give lots of details: I love the Droid, it’s one of the best devices I’ve ever owned, and I’m a gadget freak! A little background before I begin what will inevitably be a very long post. I’m a geek, […]

  • PeopleBrowsr Boggles the Mind

    Twitter is a phenomenon. It’s one of the hottest topics in the media now, not just the tech media. Most non-Twitterers roll their eyes when someone tries to explain what they’re missing. Many first-time users abandon it pretty quickly too. I’ve been using Twitter consistently for over two years. In my opinion, there […]

  • Twitter for Business Webinar

    I rarely accept invitations for Webinars (online seminars). I know Twitter reasonably well, having used the service regularly for over two years. Why then did I attend a Twitter for Business Webinar this past Thursday? Two reasons: I knew one of the primary presenters for a number of years, so I had reason […]

  • Make the Time

    Lois and I have been, and continue to be blessed, in many ways. At or near the top of that list is the amazing group of friends that we have. Individually and collectively, they bring us immeasurable joy, and expand our horizons with each interaction. I know that many people lead busy, complicated […]

  • Digging Digsby

    I’ve been a very long-time user of Pidgin (previously called Gaim). I’ve also been a very happy user with no particular impetus to look into other IM clients. In addition to IM, I have accounts with a number of social networking sites. I am not particularly active on any of them (with the […]

  • Getting Very Tired of AlertThingy

    I’ve been using AlertThingy for a while now. I like the concept a lot. It started out as an Adobe Air front-end to FriendFeed. Let’s begin (briefly, at least brief by my normal standards) 😉 with FriendFeed itself. At a minimum, FriendFeed is a social media aggregator. You can have it create a […]

  • New Twitter Followers

    I’ve been using Twitter for a very long time (thanks Jamie, even though you deserted us for a while). 😉 I have had it set to IM me (via Jabber) whenever anyone tweets, and forever, that was working. A while ago (quite a while ago), those messages stopped coming. I was able to […]
