  • Is Twitter The Future?

    Monday, February 26, 2007

    Ian Curry at Frog Design calls Twitter the Missing Messenger. Always on the lookout for something that will simultaneously support his desire to stay in touch and not be distracted, Ian finds "These light exchanges typify the kind of communication that arises among people who are saturated with other forms of communication." He's also a Twitterrific fan. We're energized by this thoughtful post. What a great way to start the week!

    Thursday, February 15, 2007

    I'm not sure exactly what this project by Gregory Chatonsky is but it's blowing my mind. Video, photos, ambient music, and giant sliding Twitter updates all mushed together into some kind of never-ending, trance-inducing, experimental documentary film thingy. Wow.

  • Anil Dash on Twitter

    Wednesday, February 14, 2007

    Consider Twitter: "The sign of success in social software is when your community does something you didn't expect." Anil likes Twitter. And I like his idea of just updating emoticons ;-).

  • Twitter+Wordpress

    Twitter Wordpress Sidebar Widget: "I created the Twitter sidebar widget for Wordpress because I wanted something more customisable than the badges issued by Twitter. If you know your way around CSS you can style it yourself, otherwise it will keep the default styling of lists in your sidebar. It requires the Widgets plugin from Automattic." Neat!
