I see Dave has posted a few ideas that he’d like to be able to do with Twitter. His ‘use case #1′ is regarding the ability to subscribe to a kind of ‘reading list’ of people at a conference. Good idea! TwitterGroups are what we need!
So, while I was at Gnomedex, I wanted a […]

Well, here’s my first go at a kind of TwitterBot.
http://twitter.com/dictionary
Ask for the definition of a word from the Urban Dictionary via your Twitter account. It’s easy!
First when signed in to your Twitter account, go to the twitter.com/dictionary page and ‘add dictionary’ to your list. This will add you as a ‘follower’ of the […]

I see that Scripting News has been thinking of Twitter. I’m surprised at the reaction from someone who usually see so much potential in simple things. (Something seems to be up over there too - I tried to comment but they vanished)
UPDATE : More discussion from Dave Winer
At first, I thought - “so what’s so […]

What makes Second Life eerily powerful is the zero-distance between thinkers and technology by ZDNet’s Dana Gardner (and the ‘Briefings Direct’ podcast)– There is an egalitarian equalizing effect when your avatar IMs with another … even if you know who they are. There’s a comfort level with being virtual, and the IBMers seemed eager […]

I can’t promise this will be on all the time, as it was a quick test idea that I have thought about for a few months and got round to doing once I got more memory for the MacMini (running Windows).
Let’s see how this holds up - this blog doesn’t get many readers, so off […]

Analysis about Apple’s much anticipated iPhone is here.
But the question I want answering which I think will help define this device is: What will be the default ringtone? Be prepared - once this baby comes out, you’re sure to hear it alot (despite the predicted ability to play an mp3 as your ringtone, natch)
Also […]

I think this looks like a great product.
I hope it can read an RSS feed directly over that WiFi (like a PSP can)! So I can download podcasts too, over the connection (like PSP can).
As well as wifi connectivity (for download) the killer app, for me, would be the ability to record AND upload […]

For anyone out there interested in Dave’s River of News concepts, please come and have a read of this, over on my OPML powered blog. I think it’s very important and hopefully will be very, very helpful in giving this simple genius concept more data to play with and feed from.

Wow! Those Canadians sure do! Alot! Eh!
Have a look over at canada.podcast.com and see what I was able to create pretty easily with my test account.
I want to get these tools on your hands and on your screens (and in your pockets) ASAP!
Hopefully, that won’t take too long.
I was at Gnomedex over Canada […]

Is it time to start listing the producers of BAD RSS FEEDS? Since working on podcast.com and parsing the world of RSS out there, it is plain to see that MANY people are doing so many things WRONG!
What really annoys me is that many of these feeds are being created by people who […]
