Gmail cleans up navigation
Big thanks to Gmail for taking out the annoying 'sites' from the menu:
Awesome.
Twitter tools
Tweetdeck
Personally, I think this is the best Twitter client/interface I've used so far - they also have a version available for the iPhone.
TweetStats
Find out more about your Tweeting-patterns:
Twitalyzer
Find out about your Twitter 'influence', 'signal', 'generosity', 'velocity' and 'clout':
TweetPsych
This is interesting - build a psychological profile of a person based on the content of their tweets:
Twitter Karma
Find out who isn't following you back and who you're not following:
BackTweets
Lets you search for links on twitter (even through URL shorteners). Useful if you want to see who's been tweeting about your website. They also have a WordPress plugin for it.
Twuffer
Twuffer is a "Twitter Buffer" that allows you to schedule tweets for a later time
Qwitter
Qwitter lets you know when someone has stopped following you
Did I miss something? Let me know in the comments. You can also follow me on twitter
Google Wave: View all public waves
Search for with:public and you'll have enough to keep you busy testing.
Update: To make your wave publicly viewable, add this "public@a.gwave.com"
Note: You have to add it in the contact list on the bottom-left of the screen. It might not accept the email address, but just press enter anyway and it should work.
Note2: Sometimes the address will disappear from your list - in which case, add it again (I know, it's annoying).
Google Wave
Got my invitation for Google Wave this morning and I'm already seeing just how useful this can be for collaboration. Especially from a developer's point-of-view: Imagine real-time code-reviews, or dare I say, extreme programming (XP) across continents?.
The editor isn't half-bad at all - it recognizes Tabs (unlike Gmail)
To make it better, pressing Enter at the end of the line goes to the start of the tab, as opposed to the start of the new-line (awesome!):
The other thing I've noticed is there isn't any mention of overall space-limitations.
More to come later...
Flickr badges, awards, invites and other nasty stuff
If you use Flickr, you've probably encountered images, flashing GIFs and badges in people's comments:
Cheap. Nasty. Whatever you'd like to call it, they're an eye-sore. I delete them whenever I see them on my photos.
Then I ran into this:
I have to admit, that's the funniest Flickr group I've ever seen - with a badge to match.
You can view the group here: Giant T-Rex Group
Now publishing full-text to RSS
As of today, I'll be annoying less people by publishing the full-text of my blog entries (as opposed to publishing only the summary)
