New Twitter Widget
Posted by: Owen on Sunday, 13th Apr, 2008
I’ve added a new section to my sidebar that shows the most recent Tweets that my friends and I have Twittered. I don’t know if you’re into this whole micro-blogging thing, but this new widget should have get more people dragged in, as they see all the fun we’re having
You’ll notice a whole [...]

Looks like ProBlogger is hopping onto the ever-growing market where common users get paid for generating social media content on the behalf of commercial organisations, with their new PayPerTweet service. Here’s the blurb from their site:

Visualising Twitter
Posted by: Owen on Friday, 14th Mar, 2008
I came across a great post today that talk about 17 ways to visualise your (and other people’s) network in Twitter. People’s connections are public (who they follow and who’s following them), so there’s a wealth of data that can be used in a pretty interesting fashion. If you click on the thumbnail in this [...]

The Twitter Debate
Posted by: Owen on Thursday, 17th Jan, 2008

Getting to grips with Twitter
Posted by: Owen on Wednesday, 21st Nov, 2007
I’ve finally managed to get Twitter ingrained into the way I do things. Have you tried it yet? If so, does it work for me? I originally found it interesting, but could never see myself leaving a browser open on Twitter, or going back to visit the website, so it didn’t really catch on. Now [...]
I’m on Pownce
Posted by: Owen on Tuesday, 7th Aug, 2007
Just when you thought Facebook has taken over the world, in comes another social network to steal it’s thunder. I signed up with Pownce today and here’s my Pownce page. I haven’t really given it a chance yet, but it seems much more limited that anything Facebook brings to the table. But then, the power [...]

I’ve signed up to Twitter and I’m currently trying to get a Twitter Update plugin working. Wish me luck!
Here’s another try …
