It’s coming to the end of 2008, and along with the holidays, vacation, shopping, we also tend to find a lot of “best of 2008″ tv shows, specials, and even blog posts. I’d rather not go into why I’m doing this, I just find that it’s a fun activity. Last year, I did a video [...]

Doing The TWiT, Baby

In: geek

10 Nov 2008

So Leo Laporte, internet superstar and ruler of podcasting, contacted me a couple of weeks ago to appear on This Week In Tech (TWiT) as a guest host.

Twitter 2008: Get Used To It (Goodbye IM/Track)

In: geek

12 Oct 2008

I saw the responses Twitter gave Steve Gillmor at Bearhug camp and determined they were prolonging the obvious: Track is dead, and they’re not bringing it back.

Today, I made my fourth attempt to understand and utilize the new social network, Socialmedian. I’ve tried in the past with failed results. Why? I believe it may be due to laziness and also some social media burnout that I’m fighting through. Thankfully, this time around, I was able to dig deep and find some [...]

The Reason Why I Returned to Twitter: Track is Dead

In: geek

16 Sep 2008

I’ve been away from Twitter for about 4 months as I’ve stated in previous posts. Many of you know my frustrations regarding Twitter’s smoke & mirrors routine when it comes to uptime and availability. Most of this angst was driven by my lust for Twitter’s absent Track feature. Last week at bearhug camp, the guys [...]

After 4 Months, Has Twitter Improved?

In: geek

10 Sep 2008

It’s still not common knowledge among my online friends that I left Twitter on June 06, 2008. It’s been about 4 months since I did, and it seems like a lot has changed. Twitter is receiving praise for their improved “uptime” over the past months. Some have gone on record to state this could be [...]

In: geek

5 Jul 2008

Twitter‘s architectural problems are well known. Many of us in the social networking scene have never been so focused on what’s under the hood of a particular service. While I do have a great deal of performance testing and tuning experience, I have never seen it pushed so hard in the social web. Not to [...]
