Twhirl’s Latest Update

So twhirl updated their application once again. I must say that things have been improving with the AIR application. I am still planning on writing a post about it, I just have been so busy with my income-based jobs that I have not had the chance to sit down and write.

Ok, back to twhirl.

The application now works with FriendFeed, which is awesome. I do not have to worry about AlertThingy anymore and can just use this one app to handle both services. I have only one complaint, each service runs in a separate window! I would love to see twhirl have tabs for each service that will allow me to just have one window open.

So twhirl, please considering adding a tab functionality to your next update. I love your application, make it easier and better for me!

Do you have any thoughts on twhirl’s latest update?

Cheers!

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?!

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?

Twitter…WTH?

The Alana Taylor Show

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!
