The NEW Tweet Tees Site!

Over the past week I have been working with Albert (Twitter: iAlbert & TweetTees) on a store for his Tweet Tees. Last night I made some DNS changes and as of 5:30 this morning - the new site is live!

I encourage all of you Twitterholics to head over to eatsleeptweet.com and order a shirt. The prices are very reasonable and Albert is always working on new designs.

As for me, I think I will be hibernating after I finish another project that I have lined up.

Cheers!

Please note that there are some final tweaks being made, if you see any problems, contact us!

Twitter Account for Sale…AGAIN?!

Posted on: April 22, 2008 at 2:09 am | Posted under: Twitter

Well Twitter is in the process of fixing things and I am getting an influx of old tweets from the people that I am following. I came across another interesting tweet from Andrew Baron and it looks like his account will be going back up for sale on eBay.

I am completely confused as to why he is doing this. Is this another PR stunt? Only time will tell what exactly is going to happen here, but you can only cry wolf so many times before people stop listening.

Andrew, what are you doing man?

The Alana Taylor Show

Posted on: April 16, 2008 at 12:29 am | Posted under: Technology, Twitter

So a week ago I get this tweet from Gary Vaynerchuk. I take his advice and decide to follow Alana Taylor on Twitter. I then subscribe to Alana’s blog with Google Reader to see what she is about. Once I see her post about The Alana Taylor Show, I DM her on Twitter to see if she needs any help moderating her uStream chatroom. We go back and forth on Twitter and I end up helping her out for the 1.5 hours that she was on tonight.

What does all of this mean? It is the power of the social web! Just how one tweet from a crazy wine guy (love ya Gary!) can prompt someone to follow and connect with someone and then help that person out on their first uStream show is just amazing! I was very glad to help out Alana with her show tonight, she is a very talented young woman with a lot of potential. I wish that the whole "web 2.0" social networking phenomenon was around when I was still in college, because I would be just like her (except with facial hair and a deeper voice).

We had a lot of fun with her show tonight, and even tried to get Jason Calacanis to stop by so that Alana could do a live audition for him for Mahalo Daily, but no luck!

Building relationships with new people and exploring new avenues of communication is where we are at - and it is fantastic!

On a more somber note, I did not win the lottery tonight. So no 37 million dollars for me. I want to start Mahalo East in NYC - it will happen eventually!

Cheers!
