Twitter trending topics are tits on a bull

Seriously, what is the point of this? It is information as useless as tits on a bull. :/ Twitter, you might as well quit while you’re ahead. I’m also starting to wonder about Twitter… By the way, you can follow me on Twitter here. :P

So you’re planning a Tweetup or geeky get together, are you?

How many times have you heard: “Oh no! I didn’t KNOW there was a Tweetup/Event/Dinner :P”. Well, if you hear it again, the person saying that is an IDIOT! Introducing Tweetmeup. Tweetmeup is a great way to keep track of where and when the next Tweetup will be. It even goes as far as pointing [...]

Vulgar display of (Social Media) power

I see this happen more and more every day in the social media space. People try and get other’s attention by hitting them with a fist in the face and then say “sorry, but I was just trying to get your attention…”. Well, hello! A simple tap on the shoulder would’ve done the trick, you [...]

Why all the Twitter hate lately?

Is it just me, or is there a barrage of haters throwing stones at the little bird? And I’m not talking the usual Techcrunch comment trolls, I’m talking high profile suits. First we have the “dooming” Morgan Stanley report(The report is in PDF format). The one written by a 15 year old intern. Now, don’t [...]

Pots calling kettles black

Twice I saw this yesterday. The first was by a Social Media “Rockstar” (really, this “Rockstar” meme makes me want to lick a red hot grill at a steakhouse) who was ranting about web celebrities who are clueless. Basically what he was referring to was popular people on Twitter who follows only a small group [...]

Using Bash to update Twitter with the current playing track in iTunes

Bash can do everything. From curing cancer right up to making you look cool :) I wanted to update Twitter when I listen to something very, very cool like Tom Waits. This Bash script gets the info of the current playing track from iTunes using the osascript command (osascript executes AppleScript, so naturally, this is [...]

SocialToo (with help from Twitter) made me a masochist…

I’m not one for kinky S&M stuff. I’m a wimp when it comes to pain. I opened up Twitter this morning to find that all the people I followed were gone. People that follow me are fine. People I followed, gone. (Image credit: http://slackerschronicles.blogspot.com) A couple of months I signed up for SocialToo. It is [...]

The perpetual n00b

That’s me! I’m a perpetual n00b. Its not a bad thing since every single human being on planet earth is one as soon as they take on something new. The thing about being a n00b, specially on the internet is that it has the capability to change. Quick! That’s the beauty of this Interwebz. I’ve [...]

Homemark abuse is funny, but is it significant?

Yesterday when @homemark followed me on Twitter, I thought “Oh lawd… what’s going to be force fed to me NOW?!” When I went to their account and just read the first few tweets I almost short circuited my Macbook when I spat a mouthful of water all over the keyboard. @homemark We are the devil, [...]

Bloggers, watch your grammar and punctuation

Often you’ll find people who is are quite irked by spelling mistakes, incorrect grammar, etc. on blogs. It could be quite irritating, I have to admit! I know Nic has written about it in the past. This morning Joy-Mari tweeted this: A few moments ago I received this apt little image via email from Lester [...]
