Sep. 18, 2009

Every couple of months, I update you with a list of plugins I use on my self-hosted Wordpress blog. (I profiled 15 plugins in December 2008 and 23 plugins in March 2009.) Looking back six months, many plugins remain the same but I deactivated some and installed some more.

How Readtwit Improves Twitter Productivity

Sep. 17, 2009

Because Twitter is analogous to a river’s flow that you are not expected to watch non-stop, it is presumptive you will miss tweets when you’re not looking.

Is Twitter Stupid?

Jul. 24, 2009

Steve Huff of the American Society of Shitcanned Media Elites provides evidence that Twitter is stupid relating a trending series of Twitter messages last week about an Idaho girl abducted.
