Goodbye, Twitter Spammers

May 7th, 2008  |  by Sarah Perez  |  published in Twitter, social media

I never thought Twitter spammers were that big of a deal. Unlike with spam in your inbox, you can just "unfollow" and "block" spammers, you know. However, it looks like Twitter won’t be letting spammers muck up the community they’ve built. I saw the news over on Stay N’ Alive, where Jesse Stay wrote:
Today, […]

Yet Another FriendFeed/Twitter App

May 5th, 2008  |  by Sarah Perez  |  published in AIR, FriendFeed, Twitter, Web Apps, social media

Oh dear lord. As if we didn’t already have enough with the war between Twhirl and Alert Thingy (and Feedalizer and bTittleTattle!), here comes yet another AIR app for Twitter/FriendFeed users. This one is from the makers of the Firefox extension, MySocial 24×7, and, like the extension, the app focuses on consolidating your social […]

Another Way to Classify Twitter Users

April 28th, 2008  |  by Sarah Perez  |  published in Twitter, social media

Recently, blogger Michael Klier came introduced a Greasemonkey script for identifying Twitter spammers based on the recommendations of a site called "The Twitter Blacklist." The site, which determines who is a Twitter spammer based on a "follow factor" ratio, has blocked 164 spammers to date. Michael’s script looks up the username of the visited Twitter […]

Oh, Right…

April 23rd, 2008  |  by Sarah Perez  |  published in AIR, FriendFeed, Twitter, social media

Well, it’s back to Twhirl. In my excitement to finally have my Twitter stream and FriendFeed stream all in one window, (and de-duped!) I temporarily forgot my obsession with having Twhirl pinned on top of my other windows, something which is especially important when I’m on my laptop. So, it’s back to Twhirl for […]

The AlertThingy vs Twhirl War Continues

April 23rd, 2008  |  by Sarah Perez  |  published in AIR, FriendFeed, Twitter, social media

Here we go again -the battle of the AIR apps continues. This time, it’s AlertThingy in the lead. They’ve just released version 1.3 of their popular FriendFeed AIR app, which you can download from their new and improved web site.
The new version of AlertThingy is an answer to my prayers: Twitter and FriendFeed […]

A Few Good Twitpitches

April 22nd, 2008  |  by Sarah Perez  |  published in Twitter, Web 2.0, Web Apps

You may have seen my post over on Read Write Web about the concept for Twitpitches. I see that some companies are starting to use this system and I thought I would feature a few I thought were interesting:
Tweetlater: This Twitter app lets you schedule tweets for a later date/time so it appears that […]

More on PR and Pitching

April 18th, 2008  |  by Sarah Perez  |  published in Blogging, Email, Personal, RSS, Twitter, social media

Despite Louis’s attempt to start this weekend’s bitchmeme on the topic of blogs and advertising - damn, Louis, you’re getting good at this! - I’m going to refrain from that discussion (as long as I can resist, that is) and write about something else instead.
…And we thought Techmeme was the echo-chamber!….OK, just kidding, […]

Twitter Reunites Man with Phone

April 17th, 2008  |  by Sarah Perez  |  published in Twitter

Just saw this on Epicenter and thought it was a nice, heartwarming Twitter story:
Scot Hacker didn’t know he had lost his phone until he saw a note on Twitter from his phone: "Hi.i found this phone.could you tell me how to find the owner.."
The good Samaritan who found the phone just texted the […]

Battle of the AIR Apps: Alert Thingy vs. Twhirl

April 17th, 2008  |  by Sarah Perez  |  published in AIR, FriendFeed, Twitter, social media

Just posted this on Read Write Web:  Today, the battle between the two most popular AIR apps as of late has begun. Yesterday, the FriendFeed AIR app, Alert Thingy, having only just launched on April 13th, was already getting an update - this one to include Twitter support via a built-in "Tweet" button. Not […]

Alert Thingy 1.2

April 16th, 2008  |  by Sarah Perez  |  published in FriendFeed, Twitter, social media

I’ve just now had time to upgrade Alert Thingy to the new version that was just released today - Alert Thingy 1.2, which I discovered thanks to Steven’s FriendFeed Watch blog. I’m really impressed with how fast they put out the new version - it seems the app was only released yesterday. I’m also […]
