  • 27 Oct, 2008

I’ve become a fan of Ping.fm and its mass notification abilities.  However, I wanted to update my Ping.fm status without navigating away from the page I was on.  So I created the Ping.fm Mobile Sidebar for Firefox. Much like my many other Firefox sidebars, it simply works as a shortcut to access the mobile version […]

Last I checked, a web page had to be on the web in order for Google to crawl the page and serve it up in search results.  But then how does it crawl iTunes? On a recent search for “implus iphone application” I came across the iTunes store page ranked at #8 in Google. Yes, […]

My Blog Is About Bacon. What About Yours?

I love to create Firefox themes, make addons and lots of freebees that others often enjoy.  I do this on my free time and love to see people enjoy them.  But some days, I’m ready to throw in the towel. I’ve recently got a few comments from a visitor saying “hurry up and release the […]

Plurk Screen Shot

I’m a big fan of Plurk, a micro blogging platform, that is often compared to Twitter.  It has basically taken me away from Twitter by fixing some of my big Twitter concerns.  The more I use Plurk, the more I realize how many limitations and issues Twitter currently has. Here are a few reasons why […]

SocialAddict Goes Online and Mobile

I realized that the code I wrote for SocialAddict on Adobe Air could easily translate into a web application.  So I tossed the files up online and now it’s accessible everywhere. Check it out: http://twistermc.com/s What’s cool about this is you can use it in a few different ways. 1 – Use it without Adobe […]

SocialAddict – 11 Social Sites, 1 Adobe Air Application

  • 23 Jun, 2008

After my recent success with Plurkit, I decided to take the idea to the next level and add in more social sites.  The outcome is SocialAddict which has 11 social sites within one Adobe Air application. What SocialAddict does is loads the mobile or iPhone version of each site for easy access.  Again, I didn’t […]
