Twitter Powered Forum

2009-06-28T20:00:00.000+05:30

Tweetboard: Tweetmeme proposes, we alpha « Social Networking and New Markets

The unobtrusive Tweetboard forum sits on the left hand side of your screen as a small tab indicating the count of tweets since a viewer’s last visit. Visitors can then click the tab and the Tweetboard will slide open with a view of all tweets pulled in from your Twitter stream, threaded appropriately. Tweets pulled in include your account updates and @replies to other users. Replies, however, show up in context of the original message, so as to create a back-and-forth conversation-like feel.

This conversation format spontaneously adds a Twitter friendly-forum to display chatter between you and your followers, friends, customers, and would-be clients. Users can even use Sign in with Twitter to tweet from the page, expand replies, add their own reply, and filter tweets by date, last activity, and most active.

Tweetboard is a pretty nifty addition that many a brand or startup — or even celebrities that want to have a fan forum — should consider implementing on their site. Not only does it reinforce that you have a strong Twitter presence, but it could help reduce support emails, increase your reach across the Twittersphere, grow site traffic, and help new customers/users get engaged.

140ware, the company behind Tweetboard, is automatically approving alpha invite requests to Twitterers who make their request to @140ware in this form: “Requesting an invite for Tweetboard Alpha (http://tweetboard.com) by @140ware, for my site: http://ReplaceWithYourURL.com.”

Rules for Computing Happiness

2008-09-21T10:00:00.001+05:30

From Alex Payne's Blog

Software
Use as little software as possible.
Use software that does one thing well.
Do not use software that does many things poorly.
Do not use software that must sync over the internet to function.
Do not use web applications that should be desktop applications.

Do not use desktop applications that should be web applications.
Do not use software that isn't made specifically for your operating
system. (You'll know it when you see it because it won't look right or
work correctly.)
Do not run beta software unless you know how to submit a bug report and are eager to do so.
Use a plain text editor that you know well. Not a word processor, a plain text editor.
Do not use your text editor for tasks other than editing text.
Use a password manager. You shouldn't know any of your passwords save the one to your primary email account and the one to your password manager.
Do not use software that's unmaintained.
Pay for software that's worth paying for, but only after evaluating it for no less than two weeks.
Thoroughly delete all traces of software that you no longer use.
Hardware
Do not buy a desktop computer unless your daily computing needs
include video/audio editing, 3D rendering, or some other hugely
processor-intensive computing task. Buy a portable computer instead.
Do not use your phone/smartphone/PDA/UMPC for tasks that would be
more comfortably and effectively accomplished on a
full-fledged computer.
Use a Mac for personal computing.
Use Linux or BSD on commodity hardware for server computing.
Do not use anything other than a Mac at home and Linux/BSD on the server.
The only peripheral you absolutely need is a hard disk or network drive to put backups on.
Buy as large an external display as you can afford if you'll be working on the computer for more than three hours at a time.
Use hosted services in lieu of hosting on your own hardware (or virtual hardware) for all but the most custom applications.
File Formats
Keep as much as possible in plain text. Not Word or Pages documents, plain text.
For tasks that plain text doesn't fit, store documents in an open standard file format if possible.
Do not buy digital media crippled by rights restriction
technologies unless your intention is to rent the content for a limited
period of time.

Getting a scratched CD to work

2008-08-23T18:15:00.001+05:30

We’ve all got many precious discs that have been ruined by careless handling, regular damage while using or by the pet dog’s mauling.

Use these cool pointers to get some of them working again:

1. Clean the surface of the disc by running water (warm is better). You can even use soap or mild detergent to clean the grime. Always rub the disc from the center going out. Do not rub the disc in circular motion.
2. Let it dry in the air. This in itself may get it to work sometimes.
3. If that doesn’t work polish the CD using the inside of a banana peel, toothpaste or brasso. Again remember to gently rub from the center going outwards.
4. Once it gets going - the first thing to do is to quickly copy all data on to your PC - just in case it fails again.
