How to Post Long Tweets

Twitter limits users to 140 characters, but sometimes that just isn't enough. Some Twitter applications have started to take advantage of third-party services that let users post longer messages, and then in the tweet it will provide a link to the text. In many ways this defeats the purpose of Twitter, but sometimes you just can't fit what you want to say in a mere 140 characters.

Using Twitter to Control Your Computer

Looking back at how Twitter has evolved I can't help but be amazed by not only it's popularity, but also the various services it is used for. I've seen ways to track packages using Twitter, add events to your calendar, manage your todo list, check balances on your accounts, and all sorts of other things. It's crazy.

Do You Remember When…

Do you remember when Twitter was a word that only the tech-savvy crowd have heard of? It was back in March of 2007 that I finally started paying attention to what Twitter was, only because there was so much buzz about it on the blogs I was reading. Between then and now, Twitter has experienced all kinds of growing pains, including outages from traffic overload.

Is Twitter Becoming a News-Wire?

Twitter is one of those services I just can't make up my mind about. On one hand it provides a simple and quick way to get information about what's going out there whether it be updates from friends or news from my favorite sites.

CyberNotes: Update Your Status on Twitter (and more) from Opera’s Address Bar

A few weeks ago we wrote about a Firefox extension that could post to Twitter right from the address bar, and it impressed me to say the least. One commenter, who goes by the name lilmoder, cleverly pointed out that you can do the same thing in Opera using its keyword search functionality.

Digsby: A Nice Cross-Network Messenger

I've been meaning to give Digsby a spin ever since the public Beta was released about two weeks ago. It looked like it was a well designed cross-network (and cross-platform) instant messenger, and it offered quite a few features that no other instant messengers have touched on before. And after having used it for only about 30 minutes I think I may have found myself a new messenger.
