Tuesday, April 6th, 2010Only the paranoid survive. Even the paranoid have enemies. And the list of paranoid quotes goes on. Within the last 18 hours, I’ve had two experiences with twitter that are worth sharing. If only for twitter bragging rights. Firstly, whilst ABC1’s Media Watch was shown last night – what I considered a long “advertorial” piece […]
WPF Twitter Client. Over.">The long search for the perfect WPF Twitter Client. Over.
Sunday, September 6th, 2009Twitter; Facebook and friends is the place where I spend most of my day. For work and play. Separating work and play is difficult in single-column twitter clients. Enter mutliple columns, filtering as base requirements for my perfect twitter client. Stuck in closed-source TweetDeck; or moving through a myriad of AIR based applications. Subjecting myself to […]

Saturday, May 30th, 2009For various reasons, I am on another sabbatical from Twitter. This is not my first, and I dare say not my last. Duration, unknown. Frankly, I am boring myself and slowly sticking my foot in my own mouth. To fill the now empty space, I have spent more time thinking and writing. So, for instance […]
The Group Twitter Account Conundrum
Friday, May 29th, 2009On my Soapbox, I have been somewhat negative (and somewhat vitriolic) on blind group twitter accounts. My argument has been that no-one talks to brands; humans tend to and would prefer to connect with rather human. There is a perspective I missed: where organisations want people to represent them, and the individuals see themselves are […]
Three Witches of the Australian Twittershpere
Thursday, March 5th, 2009@stilgherrian, @kcarruthers and @nickhodge. Yes, we are all on Twitter, twittering to the Twitterati. We were waiting for Pia Waugh, one of Australia’s leading Linux and Open source experts to show us the Art Deco Theatre. Excellent photo taken in the main street of Yass, New South Wales by @ApostrophePong. More Photos on ‘pongs site.
16 ways to know you are addicted to Twitter
Monday, December 29th, 2008You received a tiny URL to this list via Twitter. And links to the other n lists of “How do you know when you are addicted to Twitter” via Twitter. You have re-followed @ev just to send him dm’s about features that were once in twitter, and have disappeared. Without thinking twice, you grok #2. Before a conference […]
A ghost on twitter
Monday, April 21st, 2008It seems people are missing my tweets. I say stuff, and very few people can see me. Other people are missing. As Allison blogs: “The day that twitter died” Thankfully, today was a busy day. Productivity level good.
Selling your Identity Stunts your Intelligence
Monday, April 14th, 2008As mentioned by Duncan Riley in “Rocketboom Founder Puts His Twitter Account On Sale”, Andrew Varon Baron is “selling his twitter account” as a stunt. As at posting, the bidding is at US$510.00 I am not sure how this ID is valued, and it seems strange that it has value when decoupled from the person selling […]
UK Earthquake: Facebook and Twitter broke quake news">UK Earthquake: Facebook and Twitter broke quake news
Thursday, February 28th, 2008I am quoted in a UK article Facebook and Twitter broke quake news in Metro.co.uk My statement on twitter ‘one day, on the BBC: “reports from twitter are stating an earthquake…” one day’
Twitter Paranoia
Friday, November 9th, 2007OK, aliens are invading my twitter feed Or, after reaching 5000 tweets ranging in topics from Eurovision’07 to Neil Finn Revival Meetings, my postings are swallowed by the great twitter engine. Does Ms Gale have a restraining order out on me? More likely Paul Foster’s mobile phone cost centre owner in the UK. Maybe it’s the lolcat […]
