TwitterFon's just as good-- and free!

Andy: Was just going to ask about the advantages over TwitterFon, easily my favorite Twitter app and free of charge.
- Lon Harris
from twhirl
Lon, at this point I wouldn't recommend going with Tweetie-- you can't get simpler or more effective than Fon at this point, they're pretty similar!
- Andy DeSoto
I switched a month ago to Tweetie from Fon and I can't really tell a difference...
- Jeff
@Kevin - Thanks for the heads-up. Yeah, BuddyFeed looks pretty cool so far. I think I might almost like it better than the web interface. At least for reading if not typing. (posting from it now)
- Grey Drane

Grey: Yeah I'm kind of liking it so far too. I do find it easier to read just the posts and drill in for comments if I choose to.

I like Tweetie alot. BuddyFeed looks good but not sure I want to spend the dollar on it. The App Store feedback is not too promising.
- Altan Khendup
If you do try Tweetie, make sure you try to "Simple" theme. You change Tweetie's settings in the iPhone Settings app, not in Tweetie.

I was not happy when the upgrade took away the iChat like balloons... glad I can put them back... easier to read but more scrolling.

@Kevin: Interesting. I'll give it a try.

I LOVE Tweetie. Besides the very full functionality (you can do just about everything Twitter lets you do in this app), it's GORGEOUS, and it's FAST. This is the Twitter app that Apple would have written. And it keeps getting better. Loren Brichter keeps adding features and polish. Make sure to get the latest 1.2 update (came out today), and check out the Popularity EnhancEr (PEE) page on his site for a laugh. :-)

I saw a very young James Taylor make his solo debut at the Troubadour in LA in 1969. Does that count as a concert? I think it was a pretty decent first live music experience. :)
- Kevin Gamble
George Jones and he showed up, but my mom insisted that I be home by 10pm, so I only got to see a little of his performance. It must have been somewhere between 93 and 95. My first non country music was Live in 1995.
- Heather Solos
Simple Minds; though, with my family I saw many a country and bluegrass concert, Simple Minds was the first I bought tickets for and drove to myself.

My first proper concert was going to Weezer at the Astoria when I was 16. Cast and Coast were supporting. The gig was rescheduled from a few weeks earlier, can't remember why though

My first concert was those guys that sang that song "I wanna be a Cowboy and you can be my cow girl..." The concert didn't matter to me (can't even remember the band's name)... it was getting to go to the big city (Spokane, WA) with my girlfriends. After that, I moved to Orange County and saw Depeche Mode at the Colliseum, David Bowie, U2, and one of those concerts was opened by Siouxsie and the Banshees. So I guess I made up for my first concert experience.
- Trish Haley
Somehow I won tickets to see Dizzy Gilespie at the Toledo Masonic Auditorium. A friend had to drive me because I was only 15. The first concert I paid for myself was Stevie Ray Vaughan at the Ft. Wayne Coliseum.

I don't know...sounds like he's making a fair point (though, granted, not in the nicest or most civil way possible). Was there a good reason you streamed the conference on UStream and not Seesmic?
- Lon Harris

Lin: Seesmic does not do live streaming. So how would they do that?
- Robert Scoble
lol - those sound like fighting words to me :)
- David Dundas
from twhirl
Hmm. I think you're argument is with VentureBeat. It would seem CN is taking its cues from Anthony Ha of late: "Still, folks (including myself) were a bit perplexed with the fact that the event organizer, Loic Le Meur, opted to stream the conference (plus or minus the technical difficulties referenced above) using Ustream, rather than via his own video platform Seesmic."
- Richard pancakhaus Walker
Robert: True, but Stern's suggestion doesn't sound half bad to me. Have participants use Seesmic to discuss whatever topics they're presenting. I mean, you could do both, even. I'm just saying, I don't think the point the blog post is making is obviously stupid, and I would like to hear more elaboration on why he wouldn't employ his own service.
- Lon Harris
from twhirl
FYI Richard - I don't take cues from anyone and the VB piece came after mine
- Allen Stern
Lin: have you ever put on a conference for 2,000 people? I have and there is no time to do ANYTHING else. Seesmic has its own issues. Video is not a good place to have conversations. But I am glad Loic paid attention to his conference attendees instead of trying to do some videos.
- Robert Scoble
Robert - <sarcasm> was that with no heat, no internet and no food?</sarcasm> Interesting that you say video isn't a good place for discussion.
- Allen Stern
thanks for the clarification Allen, I did notice you cited his name in the socialmedian post. My bad!
- Richard pancakhaus Walker
Richard - I don't post things to SocialMedian - you might want to check last week's post about that service :)
- Allen Stern
Allen: I had a jacket and had plenty to eat. The conference was in Paris which has plenty of restaurants anyway. I gained weight this week. As to conversations, there is a reason I use FF for those.

NetFlix's "Watch Now" Service on the XBox 360 the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly - http://thomashawk.com/2008...
Mark Krynsky, Rob Haas, Zach Chisholm and 5 other people liked this
This servbice is pretty terrific. Seems kind of churlish to me to imply anything about nice-looking movies streamed to your TV at relatively low cost, but then again, I only have the one Xbox. My only complaint, really, would be that movies have to be in your Instant Queue before you can watch them on the TV. Kind of an obnoxious extra step, and I'd like to be able to browse their complete selection on my TV. Otherwise...GOLD!
- Lon Harris
from twhirl
Sorry, should say "imply anything negative..." Got ahead of myself.
- Lon Harris
from twhirl
I have really enjoyed using this service as well. I agree that the quality is great. The selection is very good too, but it did leave me a little disappointed. A lot of recent releases and blockbuster movies are not available, and others are only available for instant play for a limited time and expire after a certain date. That second point seems unfortunate to me. If Netflix is able to significantly pump up their XBox Watch Instantly inventory, I'd never buy another DVD.
- Tom Harrison
Minor point: I signed up for Netflix solely to use this feature, and was directed to the 1-at-a-time $8.99/mo unlimited plan.
- Tom Harrison
Yeah, you don't have to use the 2-disc out membership. Any with unlimited viewing should work fine on the 360 or Tivo HD.
- Brian
Tom and Brian, you are correct and I've changed that in the post. The $8.99 per month plan works as well. Thanks!
- Thomas Hawk
thanks for the writeup Thomas. This clears up a few questions i had about the 360/netflix combo. As of last night I reduced my directv bill by 50% and am currently looking at a 360 setup much like yours but also incorporating up two two Roku players for my other rooms, possibly 3. The jury is still out on that though.
- Carlos Ayala
I think the XBox 360s represent better value than the Rokus. They have DVD players. They can be used as Media Center Extenders and stream your music and photos. People can play games on them, etc. The hassle of course is the signing in and out of the Live Gold Membership though or having to pay for a different Gold Membership for each machine.

Ten crazy ideas from the brilliant Ted Leonsis. : http://www.tedstake.com/...
Marco(aureliusmaximus) liked this
Seems like most of them boil down to "get people to work harder, for longer, for the same amount of money or less." Not so much an IDEA as it is wish fulfillment. I mean, I think everyone knows if we forced old people to work and didn't give them health care, we'd save money. It's just not all that terribly practical, in that old people often CAN'T work (at least as productively as younger people) and sometimes they simply need health care.
