With middle names I get "SHARK SO DIAGRAM" WTF!!
- Mo Kargas
My name is I'M GRAND NERD JEERS BONNY, and don't you forget it! ;)
- Dennis Jernberg
Or my name is BRING JEERS 'N' NERD. I guess Nerd Jeers is a better name than Mud... ;)
- Dennis Jernberg
Or my name is GRRR! ENJOY MAD BEND (1st initial + middle name). With just my first and last name, all I get is BENIGN, DENSER JR. (#fail)...
- Dennis Jernberg
cool! will check it out? what does it do over the official brightkite app?
- Eugene Huo
You're right. I was confused. I already had the same app installed, just a previous version. What confused me was that the app was simply called Brightkite, which led me to believe it was an official app. :S

Kinda' makes you wonder how many people will go back to using TwitterBerry never mind how awful its GUI is. Too bad SocialScope isn't ready for prime time yet.
- Jeff Seale
I was using Twitterberry on my Bold 9000 (until I had to return it to my work when I left last week) but wasn't entirely satisfied with it...
- Sam Einfeld
ubertwitter... new version 0.78 was just released, lots of bug fixes. still pretty heavy drain on battery if you choose frequent updates, but that's not specific to ubertwitter i don't think. i used twitterberry for a while, i'd give it a grade of "meh." ubertwitter is awesome though.
- Bryan Zirkel
I've been using TweetGenius for the past couple of weeks and like it a lot.
- James Poling
i use ubertwitter, cause tweet genius still isn't available for the storm.
- Dan
UberTwitter and the current Twitterberry beta. I prefer UberTwitter.
- Jeff Harbert
I use both Twitterberry and Ubertwitter. Need one that EASILY allows for 2 twitter IDs.
- Tim Davis
UberTwitter is a great app, lots of functionality. I just started using Snaptu. It's a suite of apps and the twitter module is great bc it allows you to have different groups. And it is a super fast program. I tried Tweet Genius, and love the UI but it's a little slow.
- LizMoney
I was using Twitterberry until UberTwitter came into my life. Very happy with UberTwitter!
- Adam
TweetGenius on 8900. I tried UberTwitter and wasn't that impressed. The UI seemed really unimpressive. Are most people using it on the Storm though?
- James Poling
I use Twitterberry on my Storm 9530..
- Craig Arthur
Ubertwitter. More toys than Twitterberry.
- Andy Jacobson
Ubertwitter, better than Twitterberry
- Javier Valiño
Waiting to get my SocialScope invite. Till then, very happy with UberTwitter.
- Andy Jacobson
Waiting on my SocialScope invite, as well. haha I've been using UberTwitter for while and although it's the best, I've grown bored with it. I'm now using Viigo. Just installed it the other day. I had problems with it at first, but now that the kinks are all ironed out, it's pretty cool.
- Shelly
Yeah, UberTwitter seems best until we get to test SocialScope. BTW, SS is developed by the bit.ley folks.
- Andy Jacobson
I paid 5 bucks for Tweet Genius just instants before realizing that it completely sucks
- Giovanni De Stefano
übertwitter. I bet brüno uses it too.
- Eugene Huo
After some great advice from peeps in this room, I've moved to Ubertwitter on the Storm.
- Mark Edwards
Ubertwitter is great. Lots of cool functionality. Just wish it had TwitPic integration instead of its own photo hosting.
- Matt
Ubertwitter, but don't use the photo upload in the app. TwitPic is much, much faster.
- Irene Koehler
Just curious if anyone has tried TweetCaster from Handmark yet. It's a new client for the BB. It's free. It's pretty. It's slow on my Curve 8320. I can usually only see 2 tweets per screen tops (which is pretty annoying). It's got a ton of cool features like Trending Topics, Nearby tweets, Search, etc. I'll play with it for a few more days before deciding whether to keep it or not. UberTwitter is not nearly as pretty but I can get so much more info on the screen.
- Bryan Zirkel
Thanks to Vaughhn (@vrsj) for letting me know about these apps for blackberry! Just installed ubertwitter - look fwd to checking out its functionality - seems MUCH more than twitterberry>

Just found a good use for my Apple G4 Cube: I'm using it (running headless) to share internet to my hackintosh which lacks 802.11 wireless. Cube gets internet thru the Airport card, my hackintosh gets it shared via ethernet. Sweet!
I love my daughter more than life itself, but I swear the tantrums when I say it's time to go really make me not like her very much. I feel like a heel.
She's now spending time in her room. We both needed the cooling off period after her screaming and crying as we left the park. We were there for two hours and it was TIME to go dang it.
- Tendonitis' Bitch
What's weird about it, is they didn't happen at 3 and 4 when I expected it. She is almost 7 and they seem to be getting worse. I wonder if it's another part of "only child syndrome" if there is such a thing.
- Tendonitis' Bitch
My 8 and 4 year olds are going through this phase at the same time right now. I love my kids, but sometimes I just want to choke them. ;-)
- Jason Huebel
My kids are perfect. I don't know what you all are talking about. :p

Same here. My girl was fine until she hit 5. Now, she's no longer allowed to play across the street because when it's time for her to come over, she freaks out. We have to pick her up and carry her home. Unacceptable. The first time, I yelled. The second time, she was grounded. After the 3rd time (which also includes the fact that she and her brother snuck out the house and across the street *with* their bikes), she's banned until I can trust her.
- Anika
Thanks for the input guys. I <heart> you all and friend feed right now :)
- Tendonitis' Bitch
I have a similar problem too with my 4 year old. I do find that giving him warnings in advanced is very helpful--15 min we're leaving, 10 min, 5 min, 1 min OK time to say good-bye! I've also introduced a timer for things he doesn't want to stop doing-like the Wii. I just use the one in the kitchen that dings when there is 1 min left, and then again when time is up. He's gone from having full on tantrums to nicely putting the stuff away....
- Kelly W.
Gunny, my son is around the same age and we went through a similar period when he was about five. You have my every sympathy! Patience, calmness, and steady persistence eventually win the day. Damn that self-recognition phase, and the pugnaciousness that comes with it! :-) We still have 'those days' and I usually end up feeling like a heel myself, but I think we are all learning how to...

Kelly, I tried the timer thing at home because I saw how Pavlovian she reacted to it at school. Only problem is our inconsistency. Sometimes we let them just do whatever so we can do whatever. :) Maybe I should become Captain Von Trapp and put the whole family on the timer because it is needed.
- Anika
My angel is 10 now and has never thrown a tantrum. Probably because she knows that such behavior would have been met with swift and unyielding disciplinary action. Such behavior is unacceptable and cannot be allowed to continue. It's an unpopular thing to say (especially among those that have NO children themselves), but smack the crap out of her (not in the head) when she acts up. Explain why you are spanking her and that it's a direct result of her doing something that is unacceptable. Just my opinion
- Morgan Haley
I was a nanny for 3.5 years to two very cute boys who had absolutely no concept of rules. They were hell on wheels and it took putting in place a ridiculous number of rules and structure in place to finally get them to understand that they didn't get to call the shots. I had rules for everything, I was consistent to the point that it wore me out but after a while all the frustration and hard work paid off. Consistency is key. That's what I took away from that experience.
- pea ♥ fierce as a woozle
if you don't want to spank, that's cool. another thing that has worked for me is a quick prayer to God or whatever force in the universe you want to look up to. pray for guidance. real quick, nothing fancy. do this with sincerity and i'll bet that you end up doing the right thing. and YOU decide what is right for your kid. Don't forget that!
- Morgan Haley
remember who you are when faced with public meltdowns. NOBODY else there gives a shit about you or your kid. they just want the situation to go away eventually. So don't worry about anyone except your child. Focus on them. Even if it's smacking their butt and dragging them to the car. And Pea made a really good point - Consistency is the key!
- Morgan Haley
There are a lot of parents on the Internet who blow sunshine out their butts all day long about how wonderful their kids are at every given moment. It's utter crap. It's normal and OK to feel like you don't like your kid at times, because honestly every kid has a time where they act like a pain in the rear to push your buttons. Acknowledging those moments helps (at least in my...

Abby and Anika you are scaring me. I thought I read somewhere that five and six were ages of wanting to be helpful all the time. I'm already getting the button and boundary pushing from my four year old the last few months. I'm going the Pea route with lots of rules, structure, and consistency but it's difficult (and hard to get my husband doing the same thing I do). I was kind of banking on things getting better soon, not worse ...
- Laura Norvig
oh yeah, you and your spouse/partner REALLY have to be on the same page and act as a team when it comes to raising/disciplining your kids. our 18 month old seems to have skipped a few grades, so to speak, and is taking how-to-piss-off-mommy-and-papa lessons from our oldest who is about to turn 4. every moment of every day is a bigger challenge than the last. wheeeeee!!
- Joe Silence is not dead
Abby, maybe you and I should commiserate/brainstorm on how to get our hubs on the same page. My son has a pretty easy going temperment overall, but lately he has been relishing the whole concept of saying "no". It's actually something he didn't go through much at age two, but now it's really showing up. And I do think he is fascinated to see how I react versus how my husband reacts. I've read that much of button pushing is genuine curiosity on the kid's part about human emotions.
- Laura Norvig
Abby - one of the key things you expressed in your post is that your daughter's behaviour changes when she's tired. I've noticed very similar things in my two girls, ages 4 and 6, and I try to keep that in mind when their behaviour suddenly takes a turn for the worse. Hey, I get a little grumpy when I'm tired too, right? :) Gunny - hang in there!
- Eugene Huo
On balance the rest of the day was good. :) Today she's in the hands of church day camp.
- Tendonitis' Bitch
Anika, I brought out the timer for the Wii but have started using it with other things too--mommy needs 15 min to check her email, 20 min until dinner, etc. and it's crazy how well it's working. I think it works so well because it's the timer that is making him stop and not me, and he can't cry to a timer, if that makes sense. I think consistency is key, however you use it. Not just...
