Date July 2, 2008

As a podcaster, I’m always looking for ways to enhance the experience for my listeners.

Intense Debate Is the Easy Choice

Date June 12, 2008

A while ago, I wrote about my difficult decision between choosing from the commenting systems, Disqus and Intense Debate. Much has changed since that post, including Disqus’s support of video comments and now, Intense Debate’s support of FriendFeed. At this moment, the only benefit I see of using Disqus over Intense Debate is [...]

Plurk: What’s the Big Deal?

Date June 4, 2008

When a new Twitter clone emerges in an already crowded space, it is easy to denounce it as just another wanna-be and classify it as a failure. No one knew Twitter would take the internet by storm, competitors such as Jaiku and Pownce are still thriving today, but they are nowhere near the [...]

Google Reader Shared Notes Feature

Date May 5, 2008

Today, Google announced a cool new feature to Google Reader: The ability to share an item with a note. I could see this being useful for me and my podcast as Google Reader shared items is my primary source for collecting links to podcast about. Now I can do this outside of [...]

My Twitter-Fu is Better Than Yours

Flickr Video: I like it.

Date April 8, 2008

I really don’t have reasons not to like it. It’s in the same category as Seesmic in terms of “video microblogging” from my point of view. I don’t really care about the 90 second limit on the video to be honest. I agree with Gruber in that Twitter is limited to 140 [...]

FriendFeed Replaces Google Reader? Maybe
