I Am Not A Woman Blogger
I am a woman (if the photo wasn’t clear). But I am not a woman blogger. BlogHer ’08 is going on in San Francisco right now. I know some ladies who are there, and it would’ve been great to be there just to meet a new-and-noteworthy group of people. But I have to be honest [Keep Reading…]
10 Worthwhile Twitter Bots

Lots of folks out there have used the Twitter API to build their own search engine, the most popular of [Keep Reading…]
TweetDeck stream of consciousness
Preamble In my opinion, Twitter is a powerful vehicle for synchronous communication (Asychronous = e-mail; Synchronous = AIM). It’s happening in real-time, and while it’s often called a micro-blogging platform, I think that’s a misnomer.
