10. OpenID / OAuth Support. I know, I know… you guys are all over this, along with a better Jabber API, hCards and several other projects. Having worked on a couple of twitter applications it would be so nice to have OAuth… and as a user, OpenID would be very nice as well.
9. @Replies view in mobile Twitter. I don’t watch twitter all day, every day. Who does? So it makes it very nice to sit down and hit the "replies" view on the main web page to make sure that I haven’t missed anything that was specifically directed to me. When I’m on my mobile phone http://m.twitter.com is one of the best ways that I’ve found to use twitter. Its’ just very frustrating to not have a @replies view there! While we’re on the @replies topic… it would also be nice to include replies if your @name was mentioned anywhere in the response, not just first. (we’ll call that 9.2 ;) )
I found this widget today via the JuliaRoy blog. It took me a minute to figure out how to copy for your self (just click on the link in the widget itself that says "copy widget"). Yes, I can be slow sometimes. I’d love to see this sort of visualization done with Silverlight… or maybe even as a PopFly mashup.. (PopFly makes it *really* easy to create your own mash ups).
We don’t watch a lot of TV at our house, but last night we just happened across “America’s Got Talent” I’ve never seen this show before. Most of the “acts” were just so-so, but I gotta say, this girl stole the show.
Maybe it’s because our Kaitlyn is also four, but I can definitely say that this girl is the *second* cutest 4 year old in the world.Â
In honor of Jawbone releasing a new version, I thought that I’d finally post my thoughts on my favorite blue tooth headset ever.
As was noted last year by Christoph, I love my Jawbone Bluetooth Headset, it is quite possibly the best headset in the world! Seriously, it’s fantastic. The first time I tried it I was driving down the freeway with the AC on full and all of the windows rolled down. My wife couldn’t tell if I was in the car or not… “Have you left yet?”. Awesome. That’s a great headset.
Like most things, it could be better. Here is my list of 3 features that I would love to see in a future version of the Jawbone.
You may have noticed that my blog has been down for a couple of weeks now. (at least, I hope that someone besides my wife noticed!) Yes, my contract with Webhost4life was up, and rather than re-live some of my OutOfMemoryException errors that I was having with them I decided that it was time to search out a new host. In addition to that, I had been frustrated with some of the limitations of the DotNetNuke blogging module. It has served me well, but with the lack of support for common things like tagging, tag clouds and an implementation of the Meta Blog API I decided that it was time to look elsewhere.
So, I’m trying out Wordpress. Although I’m not completely certain that this is where I’ll end up. It made sense to go here first as a blogging platform… they have a great import/export feature (and just about everyone and their mother supports an import or conversion form the Wordpress format) so if I ever decide that I’d like to move to another blogging platform, I’m hoping that it will be pretty painless.
BTW… I’m also trying out Windows Live Writer (something that I could never use with DNN Blog’s lack of MetaBlog API Support) and so far I have to agree with what others have said. I like it!
So for now, I’m actually on Wordpress.com, but I’m looking at better hosted (and more flexible) Wordpress solutions. Site5.com looks like an interesting option. In the mean time, subscribe to my RSS so that no matter where I go, you should be able to find me.
(picture inserted just to try out Live Writer feature… ok, nothing more to see here, move along - but you do have to admit it… she’s cute! )
wow! It’s been a while since I’ve actually blogged something! I blame twitter (and my crazy busy schedule!). Seriously though, if you really want to follow what I’m up to… you should follow my twitter feed. It even has RSS.
Get ready for a couple of follow up posts. I need to talk about joining the INETA Speaker’s Bureau, the Webmaster Jam Session, Tulsa Tech Fest, xTrain,Improving, CommunityCast.tv, Traveling by plane, and my upcoming visit to Louisiana nextweek!
Yikes! that’s a lot to cover! Hopefully, I can find some time to get that all out today!
About 3 weeks ago my website went down for a weekend for some unknown reason. (more on that later) I’m back now, and have got a ton to catch everyone up on! I hope that you’re also following my twitter feed for times like this. It’s nice to be back!
