Re: The Transition From The N82 To The N97

twittervlog — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 06:14:59 -0000

Great review. Am N82 user, about to move on, although probably to N86 or N900.
But N97 won't play m4v? That's weird - and annoying.

Re: How Microsoft Office 2010 will be locked out of my toolbag

exactly.
you may not know any American geeks with Nokias, Robert, but outside the US, they're everywhere.
Nokia still have the largest share of the smartphone market globally, followed by Blackberry, followed by iPhone. Last figures I saw were approx 40% > 20% > 10% respectively.
And my money is on Nokia's share growing even more with the new carrier-independent iPhone-like N900 & its open source OS.
I still don't see any people in my personal or business life using Google apps or docs - 99% of the world is stuck in the Office groove, and will be for a long time to come. Nokia/MS deal seems like a smart move to me.

This was taken with a phone. The idea of that still gives me thrills.
Lovely picture, whatever the format. You have such a wonderful eye.

I could listen to him all day. I love the way he segues between explanatory lecturing and suggesting a cappucino & smoke with no perceptible change in tone or rhythm.
I saw the Fondation Cartier exhibition 2 years ago. It was good - particularly the extracts from his notebooks & doodles. I like the idea of him working with lithographs - they would suit his subjects and approach to painting - and the hidden theatre setup is great, too. Good excuse to go back to Paris :)
Have mixed feelings about his later film work - but I have to say, if it weren't for him, I wouldn't be writing this message on your Tumblr.

You maniac. I love that you've done all this. Better get busy with some of this stuff so that we can play with it together. Though I have no iPhone.

One thing I've discovered in the last couple of days which will totally transform my ability to upload content is Pixelpipes.com - not only does it allow you to send videos and pictures to pretty much every sharing site & social network, but it has Nokia Share Online integration, so you can send any pic or vid from your Nokia to *everywhere* in one click. Will be very useful on our N86s. (Same with iPhone)

It also works with Blip.tv's autocrossposting service. So I can upload a video to Pixelpipes, it will post the video to my Blip account, and Blip will automatically post the video to my videoblog with an embedded Flash/H264 player *and* a mp4 file link for your video podcast feed - as well as post Title and description.

I've also been tinkering with Twitterfeed, which I've used since it first came out, and which is hugely useful to automate your content distribution when you're doing everything from your mobile. It now has a bunch of advanced settings, so you can add a hashtag to all your tweets, and also add a filter so that it only tweets when the post contains a keyword.

So I can set Pixelpipes to upload videos and photos to all the different sharing sites, but Twitterfeed will only tweet from each service if the post contains a certain keyword. Thus, for example, Flickr will tweet only photos, and my blog will tweet only videos. Which stops drowning my twitter stream with multiple links to duplicate content if I upload the same video to my Blog & Flickr & various other services via Pixelpipes.

Re: Horizon Realty Responds to Lawsuit Twitter Controversy

Well, actually, no - @ tweets are searchable, so it would show up if you searched for Horizon Realty - and doubtless they found it because they searched or had some kind of Twitter alert set up to tell them when anyone used the words Horizon Realty.
so there is that...
