    UPDATE: I managed to write this into a plugin – Facebook Like Button Since Facebook announced a few days ago that you would be able to use its OpenGraph technology to “like” pretty much anything on the Internet, I took it upon myself to test out a few solutions for adding a “Like” button on…

    Tweetmeme: (Digg – Trolls) + Twitter = Awesome

    So I had the privilege of testing out the TwitCam service today, and (since I had nothing better to talk about), I decided to do one of my favorite summertime activities: Grill Hamburgers! Sure, it was a little awkward at first, especially because I’m more accustomed to being behind the camera instead of in front…

    “Sue First, and Ask Questions Later” – Should We Watch What We Tweet?

Horizon Realty Group (latest post on Mashable is that Horizon is backpedaling) with some keen interest.  Here’s a tenant who says something bad about her (former?) landlord, to 20 people (the number of followers she has) and it ends up leading to a…

    So, I was looking through a design gallery when I came across “Magpie” – which claims to be able to make you so much money by overtaking your twitter account at random intervals and posting an advertising tweet.  I signed up, but quickly quit after seeing some of the tweets coming out of it: Hm……
