Tue, 09 Feb 2010 00:46:19 GMT 8832642154 Wow @twitpic must be celebrating. @Astro_Soichi is posting pictures from space using its service! Hard to beat that! Tue, 09 Feb 2010 00:45:26 GMT 8832609106 Ahh, Google has something social coming out this week. @gartenberg got an invite. Can't wait to see it. I'll be at TED, though. Tue, 09 Feb 2010 00:37:06 GMT 8832306956 Oh, sorry, @CLIENTSHOW has a nice way for graphic designers to show their work to clients. http://geebo.com/ is the classified ad network. Tue, 09 Feb 2010 00:29:44 GMT 8832043476 Thanks to @SuiteArrival for the tip of @tigertag --these are little tags that increase the chances your lost gadgets will get returned to u. Tue, 09 Feb 2010 00:20:35 GMT 8831712249 Thanks to @CLIENTSHOW for talking to me about the classified ad space. Local ads are big market, hope you do well! Tue, 09 Feb 2010 00:12:14 GMT 8831407041 Going to @SXSW? I've started working on a blog about apps and things you need to have a great time: http://bit.ly/cy7yIe Would love help! Tue, 09 Feb 2010 00:10:55 GMT 8831359488 I've read through thousands of lame tweets to find the best: http://twitter.com/scobleizer/favorites (more than 14,000 and growing). Mon, 08 Feb 2010 18:06:04 GMT 8818586701 http://twitter.com/scobleizer/favorites Two of my brother-in-laws are laid off, so I celebrate people who create jobs. http://twitter.com/Scobleizer/founders is a list of them! Mon, 08 Feb 2010 17:48:52 GMT 8818001393 http://twitter.com/Scobleizer/founders Other economic heros? @ev has created more than 100 jobs in three years. @markpinc has created 700+ in two years. @ginab hundreds. Mon, 08 Feb 2010 17:46:22 GMT 8817918280 Modern economic Heroes? Anyone who creates a job. @finkd has created more than 1,000 in past four years. Who else is creating jobs? Mon, 08 Feb 2010 17:44:17 GMT 8817846029 I uploaded a YouTube video -- New pip.io brings much better UI and privacy than Facebook or Twitter http://youtu.be/7Xqt8nPtYs4?a Mon, 08 Feb 2010 17:42:40 GMT 8817792194 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Xqt8nPtYs4&feature=youtu.be&a Forrester changed its approach to bloggers and @LisaBarone nailed what's wrong with their changes: http://outspokenmedia.com/1xc8 Mon, 08 Feb 2010 17:40:46 GMT 8817728378 New term, introduced by Pip.io's CEO: "Collaborative Narcissism." Just what I need, heheh: http://bit.ly/axJVkA Mon, 08 Feb 2010 17:37:22 GMT 8817612089 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Xqt8nPtYs4 Video of Pip.io's founders up now: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Xqt8nPtYs4 it shows promise, nice UI, not ready for mainstream yet. Mon, 08 Feb 2010 17:34:44 GMT 8817521685 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Xqt8nPtYs4 I love seeing entrepreneurs ship. @hillel and the Jackson Fish Market just shipped cool wedding guest books http://bit.ly/bZ6LcU Mon, 08 Feb 2010 17:20:25 GMT 8817033218 Pip.io is like Twitter with more features, @MickyFin asked. I'll have a video up in about 45 minutes that will explain more. Mon, 08 Feb 2010 17:15:38 GMT 8816873065 I like @pipioinc -- it's a new social network where you can develop private groups (like Twitter). Much better UI than Twitter. Mon, 08 Feb 2010 17:12:53 GMT 8816777354 No, I'm not going to be at the Mobile World Congress, can't be in two places at once! (I'm going to TED). @furrier will be there, though. Mon, 08 Feb 2010 17:11:50 GMT 8816740843 Late last week I interviewed @pipioinc and that video will be up shortly but their 1.0 just shipped. Playing with it now. Mon, 08 Feb 2010 17:08:05 GMT 8816610889 Every morning when I wake up I'm excited to help an entrepreneur. Today I'm off to interview @CLIENTSHOW and a couple of others. Mon, 08 Feb 2010 17:05:49 GMT 8816531589 New @tweetdeck is now out, now trying it. Will compare to @seesmic. Looking good so far. Mon, 08 Feb 2010 16:59:27 GMT 8816296691 The other thing that devs tell me is that iPhone users are far more monetizable than other platform's users. @spooons @ppk Mon, 08 Feb 2010 16:55:04 GMT 8816144119 He @ppk has a good point, but I've tried lots of other phones and iPhone is still the best for using the web and apps. Mon, 08 Feb 2010 16:51:06 GMT 8816006978 Developers: @ppk tells people like me who hype up iPhone off and yells louder at other devs who push iPhone: http://tinyurl.com/yhtzhym Mon, 08 Feb 2010 16:50:11 GMT 8815975820
