Everything that does not have a home, just a big old stinking pile of posts.
Just quickly came across a link to Wordle, a tag cloud generating site, which provides some interesting layout options for visual display of tag clouds- generated form text cut and paste into the tool or via a del.icio.us account. Wordle is a toy for generating “word clouds” from text that you provide. The clouds give […]
With my recent twitter screen shots I am showing my snark for sure.
Yet, I am in no way advocating a rally for “let’s bail on twitter”. And to be honest, it really does not produce urine in my wheaties (as a variant of peeing in Cheerios for @fncil) when twitter goes down, out, or flying elephant. It serves as a wake uop call do to something productive 😉
So its been more as an experiment to see how the service works to try Ping.fm than some effort to be able to spread tweets everywhere.
Ping.fm was created for the sole purpose of making it as easy as possible to share your posts with the world. Now you don’t have to fumble around the web in order to post anymore, you can just post once, and be done with it.
The idea came about when making some posts to Twitter and Tumblr. The idea of posting the exact same information in two places seemed a bit tedious, so Ping.fm was born.
Once you have an account on ping.fm, you can configure it to accept your updates via the web, phone, IM (e.g. just like twitter) and it will send it to all the social networks you activate, so my messages sent via ping.fm can go to twitter, pownce, jaikui, facebook, linkedin, 14 in total.

In the midst of my regular daily mix of seeing what new things come into my antennae, I am reading the email update of Stephen’s OLDaily and stop my scan/scrolling– there it is, a familiar name: How Identity and Access Management Can Help Your Institution Touch Its Toes Kevin Morooney, EDUCAUSE Connect This presentation was […]
Wow, very cool, very wow …. found on the Clutter Museum, comes this twitter fountain. I am not tossing in any eduP*** here, but just playing – with tweets on “Strawberry” and flickr photos tagged “cogdog”
You dont have to blog (or twitter) every 10 minutes… as long as when you do its meaningful. Greg Ritter posts maybe once or twice a month, and there was a time when the light at Ten Reasons Why was dark for like a year, but he shares some fabulous gems. Earlier this month he […]
To paraphrase an old favorite tongue-twister: A punk sat on a stump. The punk thunk the stump thunk, but the stump thunk the punk stunk My blog hat is humbly dipped to the east to Jim Groom for feverishly launching the spreading EDUPUNK meme (must be in all caps, eh). That photo is scary enough. […]
