Based on media coverage alone, Twitter would appear to be mainstreaming to the tune of a MySpace or Facebook. In reality, the Twitterati remains a small but vocal segment of the Internet, identify trends and riding them for brief cycles.
This week represents the motherload of all Twitter cycles, as the Twitterati descend upon San Diego [...]

TweetDeck gets all iPhone-y (and adds multiple accounts!)
Filed under: Community, Social Networking, Twitter, iPhone | Tags: Community, iPhone, Social Networking, TweetDeck, Twinkle, Twitter, Twitterfon, Twitterific
Back in April, I deconstructed what I thought was wrong with TweetDeck. Now I only do this sort of exercise with products I think show real potential. I did the same on BusyGamerNews.com for the Nintendo Wii user interface and twice for the Xbox 360 (but never got around to the PS3).
I critique because I care.

How do you solve a problem like the “Bruno” movie? You let life imitate art. Sacha Baron Cohen pulled off one of the year’s great publicity stunts Sunday at the MTV Movie Awards, in the clip viewed round the world. Susan Boyle who? Between Sunday night and Monday, it was all about the backless chaps [...]
Work Samples – Community newsletters
Filed under: Community, Newsletters, Work Samples | Tags: Community
One of the services I provide (also a passion!) is planning and writing e-mail newsletters. My early career was in journalism, but in the mid-’90s I fell in love with the Internet and this necessitated a jump to a technology publisher where I was one third of the gopher/Web team. (Jacqui was another third, but that’s another [...]
