Twitter Updates for 2008-02-04

@CraigPratchett – my review of Born Rich from June ’06 http://tinyurl.com/2r3ugt #
just got pulled into http://www.naymz.com/ – yah, even w/ it’s downtime, Twitter is my favorite and my best #
is @ Kopplins for my first day back doing client work….well for the next 39 minutes of battery life. #
@geniodiabolico, just wanted to share the frustration with making Mail.app usable. Like iTunes, I want a far more flexible alternative. #

potty training stats: hours to pants ratio; 3:5 #
"treat your users as owners"…another principle behind @cullect – cullect/1: http://culld.us/687441 #
"The slicker you make your show, the more it looks like a Pepsi commercial. It also gets less interesting to me " http://culld.us/687256 … #
IL2: MPR’s rebroadcast of last night’s debates. Definitely not agreeing w/ HC’s economics (healthcare & mortgage). #

Guiliani’s presidential campaign was a manifestation of New York City arrogance. #
is looking for people w/ blogs that they can add javascript widgets onto to test a new feature of @cullect. DM me. kthxbye. #
proving the future is already here: "policy changes begin to affect the economy as soon as they are anticipated" cullect/53: http://cull … #
@timelliott -re: @Scobleizer I was thinking the same thing. If being deleted from FB is your biggest problem… #
is spending the morning working on the benefits of @cullect for _feed publishers_. Stunned that so few aggregators consider the publisher. #

after forgetting about it for ~2 years, one of the very 1st features for ‘feedseeder’ came back to me this morning. It now awaits deployment #
@geniodiabolico – as both listener and a publisher I’ve found it overly complex and fragile. #
http://tinyurl.com/34tcx3 confirms my feelings that the economy is only bad because it’s an election year. #
@geniodiabolico, to follow up, the forthcoming version of @cullect is nicknamed ‘Fear of an Evil Genius’. It’ll be in the user-agent string. #
@tweet140 I don’t think you should expect all tweets to be 140. :p #

MinnPost proves they’re ‘real journalists’ by speculating. Rad. http://tinyurl.com/yntbf4 thx @s4xton #
@BaldGuyShow_AJ – I did – http://tinyurl.com/yp3rv5 – from http://TerraPass.com #
@BaldGuyShow_AJ – why do you ask? #

@geniodiabolico inspired by one of your tweets, I heavily refactored @cullect all weekend. So heavily, I need a new MC. Who’s your favorite? #
@gapingvoid, "hey, they’re Parisian literary purists – they’re going to bitch and moan anyway." Brilliant! cullect/1: http://culld.us/641081 #
@geniodiabolico – Chuck D is works. I’m versioning w/ ‘MC’ or ‘Mc’ or ‘Mac’ s. tweet is http://twitter.com/geniodiabolico/statuses/611605172 #
has reached inbox 0. #
@croncast – I played w/ Joost prolly 6mn ago. New ways to get Big Media don’t excite me, so I uninstalled shortly there after. #
asks: anyone know of something like FlickrFan, but for Twitter? #
@stefanhartwig – something I can put on my mac mini + tv. #
@stefanhartwig – Apple’s RSS Headline screensaver is close. Thanks. #

watching season 1 of Torchwood via Netflix. Pretty good. Needs to either get darker or more humorous to be enjoyable long term. #
@jwynia, Top # lists are useless and why any on-demand/streaming service won’t beat Netflix for a while. J’s Top 100 is far more interesting #
a nice reminder that in more places than conventional wisdom allows, Wal-Mart is hope. cullect/53: http://culld.us/622283 #
97.8% of Americans make more than minimum wage. cullect/53: http://culld.us/588983 #
Me: "Granola." Him: "Cooper, says it’s ‘granona’." #
@sborsch, last time I rented a place (~5 yrs ago) – we found it sitting in a coffee shop browsing the bulletin board. #

http://everyblock.com is about to launch. I’m interested, even it if involves newspapers. cullect/1: http://culld.us/619110 #
my initial impressions when seeing the opening shots of GigaOm TV http://tinyurl.com/2ywmga : ‘boring’ or ‘porn’. Neither sound interesting. #
spent his morning alternating between business taxes and potty training. The former is in the mail. The later is maybe 25% of the way there. #
"given where the economy is right now and the best forecasts of where it is heading, the fiscal package seems unnecessary as a short-run … #

@timelliott – I’m real anxious to listen to them (and some Talk Shows, and @gapingvoid’s latest, and an EconTalk). #
"may", "might", "could" are words that belong in fear-mongering propaganda….not Public Radio news reports. #
@timelliott – 65 feeds may not be as arbitrary as you think, @cullect reading lists feel best in that area http://culld.us/590301 – #
The Law of Unintended Consequences – something I’ve been thinking about his election season – cullect/53: http://culld.us/599103 #
catching up on twitter….missing that I can’t hide tweets I’m done with @ twitter.com like I can elsewhere. 😉 #
@croncast – re: new theme. Thanks! #
posits 2 things; 1. things (news, invites, memes) move faster on twitter than on facebook. 2. things move faster on email than either. #
@misc – your feed import is complete: http://cullect.com/68 #
@pfhyper, @swirlspice – something I got in email 2 days ago is just hitting facebook now (actually it hasn’t hit twitter yet). #
@truetone – interesting. I have twitter, facebook, etc – email me all direct messages, so does that make email the best way to reach me? #
