Last night was February’s NY Tech Meetup, the second month under new organizer Nate Westheimer. One of the major changes that Nate has made to the event so far is that the evening’s presenters have related products or services. This month’s theme was “Mobile Meets Social.” The presenters were: Peek Xtify viaPlace Coovents Mobile Commons [Keep Reading…]
A year of Twitter statistics
Twitter Counter tracks your number of followers over time TweetStats shows trends by day of the week and time of day (proof that I do sleep) and who receives the most replies (this surprised me) What I’ve said the most (happy to see that “thanks” is up there) Xefer also looks at tweets by time [Keep Reading…]
Today is my 1 year anniversary on Twitter
That was my very first tweet, exactly 1 year ago today. And this is exactly 1 year later. So much has transpired between the two that it makes my head spin. I’ve told you how much I’ve changed in the past year, and Twitter has been a huge part of that. I think some people [Keep Reading…]
NY Tech Meetup — January 2009
Last night was the first NY Tech Meetup of 2009 and the first meetup since Nate Westheimer became the new organizer last month. I thought it was a huge success. For the first time, at least since I’ve been attending, it had a theme: “Built on Twitter” — the seven presenters all have created products [Keep Reading…]
Twitter: An Asymmetrical Chat Room
Back in July, I wrote a blog post titled “How Twitter has changed my life” in which I stated that the best way to explain Twitter to non-tech friends is to show, not tell.

Business Cards and Twitter
If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, you can probably tell that I go to a lot of conferences and events. I love getting out and meeting new people, strengthening business contacts, and bonding with friends. Suffice it to say, I go through a lot of business cards. If we’ve ever met in [Keep Reading…]
Twitter Praise for IDEA 2008
Here are all the comments I could find about IDEA 2008 on Twitter. Great job, team! I’m so thrilled that the conference was this well received. Be sure to read my Day 1 and Day 2 roundups!
Conference Twittering
I wanna get something off my chest. Some people don’t like that I use Twitter to take notes at conferences. Several people stopped following me this week while I was at Web 2.0 Expo. I’m sad to see them go, but I don’t apologize. I get an enormous amount of support for my live-tweeting (see [Keep Reading…]
Philly Tweetup 08/27/08
If you’ve been reading this blog long enough, you probably realize I have a mild (okay, not so mild) obsession with Twitter. If you aren’t already following me, please rectify that now. Because I enjoy nothing more than a good conversation over a good beer, I’ve organized some “Tweetups” (Twitter meetups) in the past, both [Keep Reading…]
