Twitter on my blog
Posted by scotjam in Uncategorized on May 30th, 2009
Given that I am now updating Twitter much more regularly than I update my blog, I thought it would make sense to link the two - there are a bunch of Wordpress plugins that do a good job of displaying your latest tweets in a sidebar on your blog, but I thought it would be better to have the tweets as actual blog posts (so that they don’t take ages to load, and disappear entirely during Twitter’s frequent downtime, as well as to make them searchable from my blog). This way, you save / archive your Twitter posts (tweets) for the rest of their natural life on your blog.
Thankfully, as always, there’s someone out there who has thought of this already and written a plugin for it - this time it’s Alex King with his Twitter Tools plugin - you can find Twitter Tools here: http://alexking.org/projects/wordpress - thanks Alex!

Talk about generation gap - even for a media exec this is pretty short sighted w.r.t. the value of the internet http://bit.ly/ectNC .

Quite impressed by Wolfram|Alpha so far - as they say, not a google killer but interesting. Falls a bit short on my site http://bit.ly/1s4c7

Nice to see that scribd is becoming a bookstore, shame they opted for DRM (at least it’s optional) http://bit.ly/z7DZx

Interesting p2p argument - esp for folks who buy a DVD but then download it anyway (video is more practical in divx) http://bit.ly/evSAb
