  • Tech Twitter-ing/Tweeting at toddogasawara


    As a boutique blogger (i.e., low traffic site :-), my blogs tend to be more like a personal note taking service. Basically, I write about stuff that interests me or annoys me (tech related stuff, of course). If other people find it interesting too, great. Otherwise, blogging is way to quickly note things down that interest me. I’ve been twitter-ing with friends for over a year now. But, I figure most people have no interest in what I ate for lunch (even friends 🙂 or what book I read or movie I watched. So, I created a new Twitter account purely for personal quick tech related note taking (140 characters or less per tweet). You can find it at…

    I promise not to be a Twitter fire hose that clutters up your Twitter stream 🙂 You can see what I’ve posted in the past day since creating this new public Twitter account. See you on Twitter!

  • TwitPic: Send a Photo to Twitter From Your Phone


    TwitPic is a free web service that lets you attach a photo web link to a Twitter tweet. Here’s how you do it, head over to TwitPic and sign-in with your normal Twitter account name and password. Then, click on Settings and add the special email address it shows you to your cameraphone’s email contacts list. The address is in the form of: twitterusername.secretstuff@twitpic.com. If you send a photo to this email address, the email subject line will become your tweet text and a weblink to your photo will appear beside this text. Anyone who clicks on your TwitPic photo link will be able to see your photo.

  • Tiny Twitter for Windows Mobile

    Tiny Twitter on an HTC Vox SmartphoneQuick! Name a web service that is as flaky as a bowl of breakfast cereal that doesn’t seem to generate hate even though it seems to be down half the time. Did you say Twitter? I learned about Tiny Twitter from Mobility Site’s Jack Cook. There are versions for Windows Mobile (native code) and Java-enabled phones. So, I downloaded the Windows Mobile Smartphone (Standard Edition) version (there’s a separate download for Pocket PCs — Classic/Professional Edition) and tested it on an HTC Vox smartphone. The one thing that might bother you at first is that you don’t see your own tweets in the display as you do on a desktop or even Twitter’s mobile web site. You do, however, get a richer Twitter experience using this freeware client than you do with Twitter’s mobile friendly website.
