Blogging From the Blackberry?
As you know, I still have a Blackberry as my phone. I can’t get a 3G iPhone until my T-Mobile contract expires next year, so I opted for an iPod Touch instead. Since I’m stuck using the BBerry when wi-fi isn’t available, I’m interested in finding apps that can do what the iPhone/iPod Touch can do. Although they don’t even come close in terms of usability, speed, and sheer glamour, there are a few apps that get me through the wi-fi dead spots. I’ve already got a flickr app for my blackberry, a Facebook Blackberry app, a new-and-improved Twitterberry client, and a funky browser from Zumobi.
Recently, I came across an app called BBMetaBlog. Although designed for Lotus Domino, it apparently works with WordPress or Movable Type (or any blog that uses the MetaWeblog API). I haven’t tried it out yet, but I think I’ll install it in case I get the urge to tap out my thoughts on the tiny keyboard of my Pearl. It’s worth noting that other blogging platforms offer Blackberry apps, too - there’s the TypePad Mobile BlackBerry app and Blogger for BlackBerry for those that use Google’s blogging system. However, for the 90% of the tech world that already switched to iPhone, the WordPress iPhone app is the tool to have. Now, if only we had a decent keyboard with which to use it.

And We’re Back…Sorta
If you follow my blog via RSS or email and had wondered what had happened to my site, then you must have missed the story I documented via Twitter and FriendFeed last week. The shortest explanation is that my dear ol’ dad accidentally killed my website, but the longer story involves a tale of [...]
Tweeple Twak (The Twitter App I’ve Been Dying To Show You)
When a friend showed me the Twitter app he was building not too long ago, I was pretty darned excited. I knew for a fact that this app would greatly appeal to Twitter users who would like to keep track of their followers, especially in the wake of the great Twitter follower drop of [...]
The Microsoft Sphere
By now, you probably have heard the news about the Microsoft Sphere. From the same researchers who developed Surface, the Sphere is a similar multi-touch device except instead of being a table, it’s shaped like a globe.

Update Twitter From Identi.ca
For those of you who haven’t taken the plunge with Ping.fm, I just came across a cool little cross-posting tool for Twitter/Identi.ca users. The app will post Identi.ca updates to your Twitter account automatically after you fill in the necessary information. The first post will only grab your latest Identi.ca update, and then, after [...]
For Love (or Not) of FriendFeed
Today, I asked this question on Twitter and I got some interesting responses:
Now I’m really curious. I was surprised to see so many NO’s. I guess I thought that most of the people following me on Twitter would probably be social media enthusiasts who loved the FriendFeed service, too. This is a [...]

Since Marshall will be getting married in September (congrats!), I will be going to this year’s DEMO conference as ReadWriteWeb’s representative. I have just one thing to say: Sweet! [...]
I Did A Bad, Bad Thing
I bought an iPod Touch. Now, you may be wondering why a social media enthusiast like myself is out there buying a iPod Touch instead of an iPhone, and the truth is that it came down to cold, hard cash.
The problem was that both my husband and I have a T-Mobile account and neither [...]
