If you didn’t already know, 10 days ago, I got tired of trying to use Twitter only to be greeted by errors. I have a strong Software Quality Assurance background and have a small tolerance for bad software, yet I put up with Twitter for almost 2 years. I had to call it [...]

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.

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 [...]

Video blogging has been atop of my interests lately and while I haven’t found my video micro-blogging solution yet, I am experimenting with various video commenting solutions for my Wordpress blog.

Hey guys, what’s the best solution for video micro-blogging? I document my quest here, but I’m interested in your thoughts.

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 [...]
