"Solid advice, Patrick — not just for book reviewers, but even for John Doe reviewing ACME Product X on Amazon, for example. An Amazon product caked full of reviews from people who have never touched the product does nobody any favors and hurts that product, even if people vote the comment down as unhelpful. More need to heed your advice." - Jared Smith

Increasingly, I’m sharing things that fit my definition of “interesting” over on my Posterous blog. If you haven’t tried it yet, Posterous is a neat way to share cool things quickly (as easily as sending an e-mail!). Some folks use it for their full blog, too. It lets you autopost to as [...] - Jared Smith

I’ve resisted Google Chrome over the last year, primarily because it hasn’t been extensible. Well, that’s all changed. I’m running the development version of Chrome, Chromium, on my Mac, and starting to add extensions to it. (You can’t add extensions to the “official” Mac beta.) The speed is incredible, and makes [...] - Jared Smith

Last Friday, I got the opportunity to speak as part of a panel at AdFed U, a series of educational seminars for businesses and marketing professionals put on by the Advertising Federation of Charleston. The panel included Caroline Nuttall, the publisher of CHARLIE Magazine who spoke on online advertising, and Lyn Mettler, Web strategist [...] - Jared Smith

"Congratulations on the new gig, Wayne!" - Jared Smith

In advance of a doozy of a weather day, I’ve spent a portion of my evening revamping the Charleston Weather blog. I’ve installed the latest P2, Automattic’s excellent real-time WordPress theme, and I’ve also (with any luck) enabled PubSubHubbub for posts to the blog. Weather information is exactly what the real-time web is [...] - Jared Smith

Saints played incredibly tonight. So happy for them and so happy for the city of New Orleans. - Jared Smith

As a SD native and a Charger fan, I agree. What might have happened if Brees had stayed? - Derrick

Crazy thing to think about, isn't it Derrick? I do know that A.J. Smith always seemed to have it out for him, and the shoulder surgery was his out to bring Rivers in. I suspect Brees was never comfortable in San Diego, and I just don't think he could have taken on the leadership role in SD as he's done so marvelously in NO. No disrespect to Brees -- he could have easily led SD, but the front office issues would have made that a really tough situation for him, IMO. - Jared Smith

While A.J.'s results have been fairly positive in SD (never thought hiring Norv Turner would have turned out the way it has), he's the kind of guy who must have HIS guy. Brees was Marty's guy. - Jared Smith

Something to do for one of those increasingly rare bored-and-lonely nights. - Jared Smith

Great article by Andria Krewson (@underoak) about Charleston's TheDigitel. Seriously thrilled to see Ken making waves like this with his site. - Jared Smith

Fightin' Words of the Worlds - Ladybug Heather

UN Resolution 2471 of the Worlds - Pete, Enabling Force

That seems like a deal breaker for you. - Dave Slusher

Nah, not really. Don't have much love for TWC in recent years, especially after the NBC acquisition stole what was left of TWC's soul. (The shots they took were really spot-on -- primarily surrounding TWC's treatment of some female anchors over the years.) - Jared Smith

At the wedding ceremony when asked if you will take her hand in marriage, it probably would not be a good thing to say "Make it So". - Don D. Lewis

We've decided that we can't get married until we can afford to have Patrick Stewart officiate. Because "Make it so." is about a thousand times better than "You may now kiss the bride." - James (@willia4)

Interesting idea in force in Cincinnati for easing into co-working. Mentioned by @exposur3 as a possibility for easing into co-working in Charleston... - Jared Smith

Yeah, that post really clicked as a way to see if this idea has legs. Now we just need *the right* location! - Chrys

Belated congratulations to Ken Hawkins and his team at TheDigitel for landing their recent investment. TheDigitel is a true asset to the Charleston community, both tech and otherwise; I know that I’ve become better in-tune with my city than ever not only because of the work they do, but because they permit citizens like [...] - Jared Smith

Nice quick-and-dirty rewrite rule generator. - Jared Smith

Seems like this is the only way one can join a Jabber-based conference on a BlackBerry. - Jared Smith

I’m looking forward to #chstweetup tonight at Bambu in Mt. Pleasant. Christina Lor of Ergonomix PR, who recently relocated to Charleston, is working to launch a new series of Twitter-based networking events here designed to connect a wide variety of professionals and other interested parties. These meetups will be a great complement to [...] - Jared Smith

Yep, I'll be there, hitting all 3 counties today. Sigh. - Heather Solos

It'll probably be April 2010 before I get it, but hey :) - Jared Smith

See more in my Dopplr profile. - Jared Smith

I went up to Charlotte, NC on Saturday to take part in BarCamp Charlotte 2. I got a great deal of value out of the presentations, and it was really important for me to see a BarCamp in action — important as we prepare for the inaugural BarCamp Charleston on Saturday. I was only able [...] - Jared Smith

Adam Hunter's (@_ah) EXCELLENT page of demos and source code for #barcampclt. - Jared Smith

JavaScript framework that Apple apparently less than threes. - Jared Smith

I'll be there from October 16th until October 18th. See more in my Dopplr profile. - Jared Smith

Yeah, so this got delayed a day and I forgot to tell Dopplr. Whoops. - Jared Smith

I'd forgotten all about the toolbar swirls in old IE. It's kind of like looking at a yearbook from the 80s. - James (@willia4)

I'm trying to get IE 4 with the Desktop Update installed. The catch: I want the original IE 4.0 build, not the 4.01 build with the E icons everywhere. Nitpicky! - Jared Smith

This episode is AWESOME, complete with an early RIM device, Linus Torvalds, Windows 98, and a Robert Scoble cameo. - Jared Smith

Happy Birthday - Josh Haley from iPhone

From the pics I've seen, you look much younger. Happy Birthday, John! - Spidra Webster

"Yo Kanye, I'm happy for you and Ima let you finish but CREATE South is the best conference of ALL TIME" - Paul Reynolds

HAHA...that is great. - Kreg Steppe

Wonder how long it will take before Charleston gets on board? - Jared Smith

Obviously someone who can't even spell :P - Rene Wirtz

Just saw this tweet pop up in the stream: http://twitter.com/trendse... :-S - Zulema ◕ ◡ ◕
