At the welcoming party for this year’s GnomeDex, I caught up with the excellent John Hartman who I’ve met before at GnomeDex and in Second Life. He interviewed me for AlphaGeek TV
He wanted to know all about the Twitteromance between Efisia (my now fiancee!) and I
So, I talk about aaaaaall that and […]
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 […]
Yesterday, Dave Winer says that ‘It’s time to open open Social Networking again‘ - I agree. (Though I will add that I wasn’t aware anything had ‘closed’
At about the same time he posted that, while sat here in a hotel in Cambridge MA, I get a tweet from a buddy who says there’s an […]
In light of Dave Winer’s recent post about Twitter since the announcement on TechCrunch that some new API features are on the way, I thought I’d point back to a couple of earlier posts I made about these very subjects.

Wow. Looks like Twitter is having the biggest downtime to date. After a day of it crawling at very low speeds, refreshing on the other machine, it’s now firing in circles. Meaning that a hit to my Twitter seems to be constantly redirecting to itself. Odd. And painful (for the server)!
update: Now it’s “Twitter: down […]
Well, here’s my first go at a kind of TwitterBot.

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 […]
As it’s so utterly and incredibly easy to do this, I thought I’d add to the resources of how to post to message to your Twitter account using PHP and Curl.
So, to add to the other PHP scripts I’ve been plonking out here, here is the PHP source code to a simple function which will […]
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)
