Twitt, Twat, Twot – Pages Around Twitter: BingTweets and Twittorati

July 24, 2009 | by Karol Sójko

Comments

The whole Twitter phenomenon is slowly fading away. It was obviously quite predictable that sooner or later it would happen but the part when people start to make something more out of it is the part where the fun begins. Nowadays, browsing the Internet you’ll have a difficulty  finding a page that is not “tweetable”. This makes all the interesting stuff spread faster but I think that people pay less and less attention to the Twitter links they follow. It often boils down to just reading the headers, but there are some solutions which will help you follow the subjects that you’re especially keen on and relax while doing it.

For all you social networks fans there’s a new sensation coming to the party. It’s name is Goodreads – the perfect place for people who enjoy reading. The main reason why I got intrigued by it was that I like to keep track of what I am reading, have read, and most importantly, would like to read. Goodreads gives you all that and much more.

Finally Firefox 3.5 is out! What could we expect from this new release? After a few weeks of intensive advertising I expect to see some fireworks. Hopefully, it won’t fall short of my expectations.

Do you know the feeling when you look at your screen waiting for the project to build its workspace for hours or when you have to search the whole project in order to find a simple function ? If you do I recommend trying NetBeans as your primary IDE.

The intelligent web with Wolfram Alpha, Bing and Hunch

As most of you could observe, there is a new stream in which the internet is going lately. The so-called “intelligent web” or “decision helping” web. Does it appear to you as an attempt to make the internet users thoughtless and opinionless or is this a trend that, in the long run, will make our time spending more efficient?

New technologies on the horizon

Lately all the media services have been buzzing about new projects of the big boys (Microsoft, Google). The whole big fuss is about the sea of possibilites that those companies would like to offer to the internet society. How could this change the internet as we know it and especially the social services ?
