Russell is bang on, microblogging should be based on a queuing system and not whatever it is now. Hindsight is 20/20 of course, no one thought Twitter or microblogging would take off like this.
The lesson from Twitter is that microblogs aren’t Content Management Systems at all, but are instead Messaging systems, and have to be […]
The day after Canada Day and we have a new, and potentially exciting, microblogging service to play around with. Identi.ca might seem like “just another Twitter clone”, but I think they are really onto something here.
Corvida, Sarah Perez, and Marshall Kirkpatrick all have it right on target. Sure, it’s early days and Identi.ca doesn’t have […]
As we complain about Twitter and other services not working, it’s great when a service just keeps getting better. Toluu wins the “let’s just make it better over time” award:

I admit it, I’m a data junkie. I will pour over the stats for my blogs for, well, let’s say I can do it for a long time. Oh and not just one source of data either. Oh that would be just too easy, too simple. No, I have redundant webstats tools. It seems like […]
This week we’ve seen both the release of a new version of Skype—Skype 4.0 Beta 1 for Windows initial release - Skype Garage—and a preview version of Twhirl that includes Seesmic playback—Seesmic Blog: Play Seesmic videos in Twhirl client—while they haven’t been connected previously, that’s exactly what I’m going to do.

I don’t think Yahoo can catch a break lately. Man you have the over publicized battle with Microsoft (I doubt we’ve seen the last act of this saga), execs, managers, and just regular folks leaving in droves. This just isn’t something that I’d like to wake up to everyday (headlines like this don’t help either: […]
I got word from Caleb last night that toluu was getting a wee update today. Yeah you could say that–Toluu Blog » Blog Archive » New feed page views: Popular and Subscribers—now not only does it run faster (I could tell the moment he turned it on, that’s how much it improved), but you can […]
