The new Twitter upgrade promises to give an easier, faster and richer experience on Twitter. I can’t wait until they roll it out. Check out the video below:

New design. The site has a cleaner timeline and a rich details pane that instantly adds more impact to individual Tweets while still maintaining the simplicity of [...]


Twitter lists - the good, the bad and the ugly

WHAT IS IT?
Twitter lists is a new feature which lets you organise users you’re following into lists. The feature allows you to compile the Twitter streams of selected users into your own categories. The groupings are of your own choosing. For example I’m in one called “special” - which needs to be taken with a [...]


Twitter 101 - the official guide

Twitter is one of the most talked about topics at the moment, with celebrity endorsements, political campaigns, breaking news coverage; countless how-tos, helpful hints and tutorials and introductory literature.

Harnessing Twitter for business use preoccupies many a suit’s mind, including my own.

I am very pleased then, to reveal that Twitter has now created their official 101 [...]

Twitter vs. the Logies

Last night, I repeatedly LOL’d at the numerous live coverage updates of the TV Week Logie Awards 2009. For you non-Aussies, The Logies is Australia’s television entertainment industry awards. It’s arguably, our *ahem* Emmys. In my opinion, Aussies have always had an ambivalent relationship with the Logies, because while it celebrates Aussie TV talent, it [...]


Managing the information overload

I moved house recently and this caused a week long wait while my ISP transferred my internet service to the new location.  During this time, I felt listless, disorganised, anxious and irritated. I felt cut off and isolated, like I was missing out on so many events and valuable information during this downtime. Of course [...]


Who is(n’t) on Twitter?

Big brands, industry professionals, celebrities with compulsive behaviours and even the government use Twitter now. CNN, MTV, M&Ms, Dell, Starbucks, Arnie Governator (who is my follower :)) are some of these.

Classifying, organising and finding all these users have now become a task on its own. There are many different applications which help you organise your [...]

This cartoon is currently spreading like wildfire! It’s pretty funny and you’ll appreciate it if you use Twitter, or have no clue what is it, or don’t like it at all. In any case, it’s being talked about everywhere.
