Wow. Sign of the times!

Re: SlideShare team hits a home run

Interesting!

I saw that too, and I saw suddenly enormous viewed stats on my slideshows. I just assumed, however that it was a glitch, because a couple of order of magnitude differences in a couple of weeks was just too unlikely.

Re: 10 Most Extraordinary Twitter Updates

Very nice! My favorite tweet (of mine own), is this one:

"Doffed shirt, rolled pants, & walked the Santa Monica beach with sandals in hand, LAPD choppers punctuating the sky."

I'm definitely interested in an eBook version! Please let me know if you make it available.

Get an iPhone, get a Twittering app.

Now your tweets (in and out) are part of the datastream.

End of story.

If someone can and wants to use Twitter more frequently, then more power to them. A number of users have incorporated it into their work and depend on it. There's a big enough disconnect for me that I've had to limit myself and it's probably a good thing.

Your comments resonate for me. The reality is, most of us have "day jobs," and that's what puts food on the table. It needs first priority.

Sometimes I wonder what people who are posting on Twitter every 20 seconds do for a job ... or if they actually do anything in their job.

The problem, of course, is that hard work is so dreadfully unglamorous and ... uh ... hard.

:-)

Like the vidpost ... that is just the right length of content for video on your blog.

I wonder who just sold some APPL?

Me too, and with the algorithms Apple has in place, I can type quite fast.

Oh, before I go ... should open myself up to some positive criticism too.

I know I'm going to regret this:

John Koetsier — Wed, 14 Jan 2009 18:12:48 -0000

Great advice.

One caveat: I find the video resume on your website incredibly annoying.

Obviously, it has to be designed for self promotion ... but a bit of a soft-sell approach would tone down the I did, I was, I accomplish, I completely rock, I am awesome feel of it.

Re: A consumer complaint about Consumer Reports (Scripting News)

Funny!

Reminds me very much of dealing with large telecom companies, actualy.

Hey, love your blog and liked this post. (Even though I disagree with it.)

You said:

"Notice the difference in hand positions. On the iPhone, the user must cradle the device in one hand and hit the keys with their index finger. On the BlackBerry, the holds the device in both hands and can type with their thumbs."

I always type with two hands on my iPhone, just like you picture of the BlackBerry.

Re: 2009/01/06/twitter-follow-fail/

John Koetsier — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 21:58:32 -0000

Totally agree with your points, especially the one about auto-following. Auto-following is something that just allows spam to fester.

Coincidentally, I posted on a related topic a couple of days ago ... the Twitter Spamability Quotient:

Re: Ignore the Web? Good luck with that

The tide's coming in? What tide? I don't see any tide. In fact, there's no such thing!

Let's just stay out ... glurg, glurg ...

Thanks for posting your work publicly so others can refer to it, learn from it, and incorporate it into their own work!

Thanks, John. Looking forward to the challenge :-)

Very cool, Matthew. This is going to be tough but boy will it be exciting.

1) I'm very impressed that the Globe has the gumption, guts, and insight to start this. Newspapers of the future won't be made of dead trees.

2) You are definitely the right person for the job, as you've been deeply involved in this world for years.

Congrats!

Sorry, I really thought I was linked the first time I mentioned it, now is linked to the original source, thanks for your direction....

If AppleInsider is reporting it, and is your main source, why are you not linking to the article?

Interesting!

Steve probably thinks that 90% of handicapped spaces go un-used, and he might as well use them ...

Btw ... really like this blog design. So much less cluttered than the one you had a while ago.
