im a big data visualization person, and although this is quite simple, the concept is pretty darn cool and something you could sit and stare at for some time...

you basically go to this site: http://www.visibletweets.com and enter any keyword you'd like to see, at which point, a little birdie goes out and grabs relevant tweets for you and you just sit back and watch...

pretty nifty! any other cool ones you know of, lemme know!

i thought it might be neat to see what words i most use when tweeting in my favorite twitter application, Wordle to see if i could generate a beautiful word cloud. first i went to my twitter page, and made sure that all of my tweets from all the way back to the first day i signed on "April 17th, 2008" and simply copy and pasted them into my favorite text editor, adobe dreamweaver cs3, and from there removed some words i didnt care to see in there "twittelator, twhirl, am, pm, etc"

Anyway, here is my Wordle

very cool to see... go try it with yours!

you can hide these blog postings if you'd like... i understand... they are not for you... and would bore me if i were you... facebook has a great feature whereby you can link your blog to your facebook page and draw interested web searchers that way.

conversely, to all of my geek friends, you might want to try adding your blog's rss feed to facebook's "notes" system and see if help's generate traffic!

i know that i have enjoyed a 280% increase on my Google Adsense payouts this month, and i'm looking to get that return to increase even more. why not. we have good knowledge, that new people in the industry want - more and more each day!

good luck, im sure you will be able to figure it out. but if you cannot... here is some information that i found here at SiteProNews "5 ways to Import and Promote your blog on Facebook"

I think this is a great idea... Imagine if you could update your twitter status with the simple change of your Google Talk status? How simple. It wouldn't take much to do it, the twitter api and oAuth are easy enoug to use, and would definitely keep people using Google Talk a lot more!

thanks,

a VERY loyal google fanboy!

i found this link today while combing through some tweets in my favorite little twitter application twhirl.

the guys @ Switch on the Code have put together a VERY simple and easy to understand guide to making your first little "hello world" application for the iPhone. all you need is the following:

1. a mac computer and the iPhone SDK
2. Xcode
3. Interface Builder
4. iPhone Simulator that you can use for free.

if you want to actually put your new App on an actual iPhone or into the AppStore, you have to pay the $99 fee.

i really want to build an iPhone application, and i plan to, trust me! But until then, im just going to collect more links, store them here, and hopefully build a nice little pool of guides that will help me!

now, if someone would just buy a new MacBook Pro 15" with 4gb of ram, i'd be able to get started!

great new feature, and this includes a host of new features for TweetDeck.

for this new Autocomplete feature you get the following behaviour:

and this not-heavily-released vesion also included the following changes from v0.21.5:

the only feature im REALLY waiting on at this point, , its coming so thats cool!
