Over the past several years I’ve posted content all over the web on various platforms like WordPress, Tumblr, Google+, Twitter and Facebook. In my current situation, I need to consolidate. Mostly, I don’t make money on my websites, never have, just wanted to share content and ideas.
Facebook gives me all I need at the moment; a forum, followers, media storage and discovery. So, that’s where I’ll be posting, probably for ever.

Review: Bootstrap
As more and more opensource frameworks hit the market, few if any contain documentation on their use. The Bootstrap framework has a great website dedicated to the features and simple use. Most throw code in github and call it a day. For some people, a little instructional help or code example and they will be off and running.I recently completed Bootstrap...

5 Tech Stories Worth Reading
Today's Tech Stories I found interesting:1. Google WalletGoogle is getting into the mobile payment market.2. Twitter Photo SharingTwitter is finally putting a photo sharing service online. But can we expect constant outages with Twtimg as well? One interesting note, especially for developers. Twitter is going to crate it's own version of your stand alone client application. If you rely on Twitter for your core business, expect to be challenged, by the source.3. Apple iCloudApple plans on announcing it's newly minted iCloud...

Favorite iPhone Apps Of 2010
I'm installing and buying more apps for the iPhone than ever befor. A couple of reason for this, but mostly, I'm eating my own dog food as it were. Paying for great apps instead of always looking foe the free alternative.As a software engineer, I want people to appreciate my work, and I hope they find it valuable. One way thy can show me that value is to pay me for it.That said, I installed a few apps last year that totally rocked. I'll share my three favorite apps of 2010. They are SpringPad, Camera+, and Mormon Channel.SpringPad...

Now, simply slide your finger over any of the Tweets, and a menu of options are opened up. Now I can act on the tweet without having to open it up. Brilliant.

Tweet Chats Cast A Wider Twitter Net
I've been a Twitter user for a few years now, and I have seen the service morph from a conversation tool to an advertising marketing tool. At first it was "What are you doing?" to "Hey, look at what I've done!". I enjoy and sometimes even appreciate links to articles, news items, even events, but the platform isn't the same one I used to love.There...

Book Review: TwittFaced
Twitter is something I know pretty well. I've been a user for 2 years. While I don't have tens of thousands of followers, I understand the power of Twitter. When I learned Josh Peters wrote a book out on Twitter, titled TwittFaced, I thought I would give it a read. I gave Josh my money and off I went.It's not a long read, 156 pages or so, but man,...

While Qik Is A Leap Forward, Mass Adoption Will Be Slow
Jesse Stay wrote a piece for Louis Grey where he asks if Sundance can do for Qik what SXSW did for Twitter. I say no. I'm not saying Qik isn't an important or impressive technology, I'm simply saying Qik doesn't have the reach Twitter did, and therefore won't have as big an impact.Here are my reasons. Qik is only supported by a small amount of handsets, unlike Twitter, which supports SMS and the mobile web. If I can't get to the content easily, or produce content easily, I'm not going to use it, and I don't think others will...

iPhone Twitter Tip: Favorite Tweets For Later Review
[singlepic id=36 w=320 h=240 float=left]I read a lot of my Twitter (you're a Twitter user, right?) messages on the iPhone. I don't always have time to look at the cool links in tweets, so I found favoriting a tweet lets me go back later on the computer and look them up quickly. As you can see from the photo to the left, I use Twittellator Pro, and there is a cool little star that you tap, and its tagged. It's as easy as that.What cool Twitter tips do you hav...

My Request For Government Bailout
News over the past few days has been all about money the US Government has been giving to ailing financial institutions in hopes of keeping them from collapsing. I'm not a financial expert, but I'm sure the layman can recognize what a sham this is.So this morning I thought it was appropriate that I ask the US Government to give me a few Billion dollars...

The Most Bizzar Political Message I've Ever Heard
A couple of days ago I found a message on my home phone from a local guy named Dell Schanze. It was one of those automated messages that political candidates use when they are running for office, and want to get their message to as many people as possible.Dell, or Super Dell, as he likes to be called, started slinging mud almost immediately at two other candidate, all of which are running for the Governor of Utah. When ever someone leaves a message on my phone, Vonage provides an audio file I can download and listen too on...

Wanna See The Power Of Social Networking?
A few hours ago a young woman was requesting small donations to go to college. I think the starting amount was somewhere around $400. A Twitter friend of Chris Brogan mentioned this cause and Chris jumped into action. Within a few hours, and mostly through Twitter friends, people had donated enough money for the woman to meet her goal. As Chris proclaimed:chrisbrogan: Raising over $500 in 2 hours? Great work, Twitter nation! I'm beholden to your power.This was amazing. I'm sure everyone is abuzz over reaching the goal. But...

Is this the first Twitter Ads?
Everyone has noticed the increased Tip: usage on individual tweets coming from Twitter. However, just a few minutes ago, I got this: Has it finally happened? The text says "If you like twitter you'll love ITConversations.com!". I'm pretty sure ITConversations has nothing to do with Twitter. Anyone else seen something other than "you look...
