Not to brag, but I introduced Wil to Pipe's usefulness :)

I use it as a Twitter client as well as an aggregator. So very powerful!

thanks, Shawn.

Yeah, agreed there. I do think we'll see more folks blogging as things such as state tax laws continue to change the affiliate landscape, though.

Frankly, I'm amazed at what YFrog has been able to do. They've got a good product.

I've never felt easy about storing my photos on TwitPic etc and can't believe a "big" player hasn't stepped into the Twitter picture sharing space more adamantly given that Facebook quickly became the web's largest pic sharing site and Twitter has/will become the largest "picture time-relevant" sharing site.

Re: Jim Kukral is a Spammer

Nope, spamming your friends is still spam.

Consider this one permanent, tho. I'm creating a "Kukral Spam Filter" in
Yahoo Pipes that will take out your sponsored tweets that I'll post up here
for all of your affected friends.

yeah, that's shady.

but come on... it's still fun for quick inquiries.

Great points.

It is a great theme.

But no, I don't feel like I have to explain why (I think) SponsoredTweets is spam. That horse has been beaten way too many times by me and others. Ted and Jim are both great guys, but I have fundamental differences with them over how to use this stuff we're still developing.

And your point is...?

No doubt there. Jim is the only decent person from Ohio that I know. Except for when he spams me.

Yeah, that's a little janky but the overall stats for other networks and even offer links are pretty interesting. Try plugging in Linkshare, Clickbooth, etc.

Fun stuff.

Thanks, Amy!

I've kicked around that idea for so long, it's sad. I'm thinking that's the direction I'll eventually take on the personal blog. We'll see, though.

And yes, I'm anti-Kindle now :)

hope that's a good wow.

Maybe :)

Thanks!

Re: Daniel Saves the Comic Book Industry, Part 1: Continuity

You're insane! Rob Liefeld comics were awesome (if you didn't read the dialogue or care about them coming out more than once a quarter).

Fantastic post and ideas, Daniel.

Re: GTD: OmniFocus vs. Remember the Milk on Mac and iPhone

samharrelson — Sun, 12 Jul 2009 18:56:55 -0000

Great post, Daniel.

I woke up this morning and thought "maybe I should give Google Tasks another shot." Ha! Clearly, I'm a little obsessed with GTD apps.

I've been using OmniFocus since I first heard about it on the MacBreak Weekly podcast when it was in beta (episode 46 way back in the summer of '07! http://bit.ly/4Akc1s). I instantly fell in love and forked over the cash. When I got my iPhone, I gladly handed over the cash for the app. It's really just a beautiful, intuitive and amazing system.

But the reason I can't use it is that I find myself on my Windows 7 laptop, my Ubuntu laptop and my Macbook with equal regularity. I've even handed over the Macbook to the wife for her full time usage. My "main" computer has become my iPhone. And while OmniFocus is great on the iPhone, I can't get to the data on my Ubuntu or Win 7 laptop. I could sync it every few days with the Macbook, but that would be a pain since the wife considers it hers now :)

So, I'm back to RTM. It's no OmniFocus, but it is "in the cloud."

Let us know how it goes!

Great show!

I'll miss the weekly banter and hopefully I can still drop in from time to time if you don't mind!
