Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this December 30th, 2007 10:00 pm

Wish I had the productivity of Dave Sifry; in his announcement, in 48 hours he rolled out a nifty new twitter/blog crawl mashup called Hoosgot (aka “Who’s Got?”):
a simple way to ask who’s got what you’re looking for. Just put “hoosgot” in a blog post or a Twitter tweet and it’ll show up here in [...]

Four out of Five Social Networks Surveyed Said…

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this December 30th, 2007 9:14 pm

Something that always gets my fur up is the blatant use of fishy language dressed up like “fact” or science.
Last week when i was so idly bored (by choice) I was watching late night TV, and there were two different ads for things like “Gut Buster” or “Pilates Plus” – those ones where people [...]

Who’s Who in TwitDir

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this December 30th, 2007 12:24 am

It took twitter quite some time to add a search bar so you can find fellow tweeters, so its no surprise that TwitDir arose as an outside tool serving as a Twitter Directory, claiming to allow you to search among 715,235 twitterers.
And since this the season of contagious listmaking, TwitDir offers the answers to the [...]

Sweet! Tweetscan

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this December 28th, 2007 11:02 pm

Tweetscan is “a real-time search engine for Twitter posts. Beyond that, TweetScan can do your searches automatically and email them to you”.
At the ego level, you can use it to search for tweets directed at yourself or make that, myself.

So this is extremely useful to track replies people may make to you who are [...]

Writing for Junior High (and free spam links to boot)

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this December 28th, 2007 6:32 pm

The blog readability site has plenty of bounces around the blog-o-sphere – plug in a blog URL, and the magical black box somehow comes up with an absolute determination. I am proud to wear by junior high school reading level badge, which means I am certainly writing for an audience that is at a higher [...]

Blank Page posted 12 Feb ‘07, 12.18pm MST PST on flickr
Mmm … what shall I create today?

It’s probably not healthy that I awoke this morning, still shaking off the dream state, thinking I was writing a blog entry. Why dream about writing blog posts? Why not red sports cars, standing on mountains, that girl [...]

Spam in a GMail Ocean

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this December 25th, 2007 11:41 pm

Even with a slew of slaughtered email spam and just about every message I have gotten for several years, my use of GMail’s space hovers around 0%:

Some of this is likely because they quietly just upped everyone’s quote to 6 Megabytes, a whole lotta space indeed.
The again Google is out there harvesting all of my [...]

Flickr Drops the Hammer on Spammer

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this December 23rd, 2007 9:26 pm

Yes another log on the fire for my adoration of flickr. One of my “dogs only” rss feed in my Reader is a watch on my comments in flickr (there is an RSS feed for yourself at http://www.flickr.com/recent_activity.gne?days=2).
