why wouldn't my clean work? - Ryan Gunhold

I've never heard of my clean. I'm new to bamboo - always had carpet before. - Kathleen Anderson

"myKite is the Brightkite application for BlackBerry. Previously known as “BrightBerry” when it was in Beta, the MyKite app is a social networking tool geared to simplify meeting people based on the places you go. The fact that it ties into other existing social networks — like Twitter and Facebook — means myKite will compliment, instead of compete with, those more popular social networking tools. iPhone users have had a dedicated Brightkite application since October 2008. I’ve had a chance to use myKite for BlackBerry since it was officially released last week. Does the free application translate well to the BlackBerry platform? Does it deserve space on your BlackBerry? Well, Let’s just see…" - Kathleen Anderson from Bookmarklet

"Microsoft has stated that there will be no update for any current hardware to add Pocket Internet Explorer 6. Regarding making IE Mobile available as a separate download or update, the rich media experiences that IE Mobile 6 enables require more powerful, advanced devices. That is why it will not be available as an upgrade or direct download for current phones, but rather will be made available on new phones." - Kathleen Anderson from Bookmarklet

I can't remember if I've tried Iris or not. I tried lots of them. There's always something missing. I hate the browsers that make me go to a different page to type text, for example. The Java ones do that. - MiniMage TKDteacher of FF

I have been lobbying for this for months. There currently isn't one and I have asked may developers. - Sweyn Venderbush

Kathleen we were looking for FF client - Roni Segoly

"Making the rounds quickly on Twitter this weekend is Tweetwasters, a site that gives you an idea of how much time you’re really ‘wasting’ posting messages and status updates to the popular micro-sharing service. Users are calculating away and tweeting about it, ironically spending even more time on Twitter (not that there’s anything wrong with that)." - Kathleen Anderson from Bookmarklet

I've still spent less than a day. - Chris, Taskerrific Guy

2.35 days and counting! http://tweetwasters.com/voyager... :) - Voyagerfan5761

"Anyone who works with fast moving technology knows that there is always a new shiny tool that gets all the attention. It tends to change every few months and anytime you start to use a new tool, you do secretly wonder if it will be around all that long. By any measure, Twitter has passed these boundaries. It has been around for several years. Every day more and more people discover it and it's usefulness in their personal lives." - Kathleen Anderson from Bookmarklet

"Q: When does a cat go tweet instead of meow? A: When it’s on Twitter." - Kathleen Anderson from Bookmarklet

"Like Facebook and Apple with its iPhone, San Francisco-based Twitter has successfully captured the attention and energies of third-party developers, who have unleashed a wave of both practical and trivial applications that work with it. So here’s another one that caught our eye: Tweetmas. The app, developed by the London-based Crowdstorm, allows Twitter users to tell their followers what is on their wish lists for the holidays." - Kathleen Anderson from Bookmarklet

""Until the Windows Mobile team gets their act together and at the very least makes IE6 Mobile a downloadable upgrade for all existing WM6 phones, I’m switching browsers to Opera Mobile. IE has been banished from my phone," so declared Microsoft mostly fanboy and blogger Robert McLaws on his Windows Now blog today. "Microsoft may be content to let Mozilla and Apple kick their butt in the mobile space, but that doesn’t mean that I have to be caught in the middle."" - Kathleen Anderson from Bookmarklet

"Irony Alert! I forgot to mention the President intends to pay for the $35 billion SCHIP program with a $.61 increase in the cigarette tax to $1.00 a pack. And yet one of the programs the Democrats want to fund in the Porkapalooza is $75 million for a “Smoking Cessation Program”. So they intend to fund the increased enrollment in the SCHIP program with smokers, while funding a program to get smokers to stop smoking. Only the government can design a plan like this." - Kathleen Anderson from Bookmarklet

"Michael Isikoff reported for Newsweek that while many of us were fomenting about Bush preemptively pardoning at-risk members of his administration, he and his lawyer Fred Fielding (White House Counsel) were concocting one last expansion of executive privilege. Four days before he left office, Mr. Bush authorized Fielding to write letters to Harriet Miers and Karl Rove giving them "absolute immunity" from Congressional inquiry and prosecution. Preemptively. In perpetuity. Absolute and irrevocable." - Kathleen Anderson from Bookmarklet

Oh, crap. Thanks a bunch, W. - Bill Sodeman

"Sunday, the Hartford Courant came out and said what thousands of Connecticut voters have been demanding for months - the full disclosure of Sen. Chris Dodd’s mortgage documents through Countrywide Financial, the sub prime lender that provided sweet deals to Washington, D.C. insiders. The headline urged Sen. Dodd to “stop the waffling,” and cough up all the paperwork surrounding his two mortgage arrangements through a special program run by Countrywide’s CEO Angelo Mozillo." - Kathleen Anderson from Bookmarklet

yep - let's see 'em! - MikeAmundsen

"At last night’s black-tie dinner at Washington’s Alfalfa Club, Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT) couldn’t resist cracking a joke about torture. Politico’s Mike Allen reports: More from Senator Lieberman: ‘We had hoped Vice President Cheney would be here tonight. I hope it’s not his back injury that’s keeping him away. Apparently, he hurt it moving some things out of his office. Personally, I had no idea that waterboards were so heavy." - Kathleen Anderson from Bookmarklet

Americans used to portray torturers in the movies as Nazis. How far we have come. - Sean McBride

"A federal judge has denied a request to keep the names of donors to California's anti-gay marriage initiative secret, saying the public has a right to know who's giving money to state ballot measures. Supporters of the initiative, which was approved by voters in November, had sought a preliminary injunction to hide the identities of those who contributed to their campaign. They had asked the judge to block disclosure of late donors, who gave in the final weeks of the campaign or shortly after the election. The state is scheduled to release that report on Feb. 2." - Kathleen Anderson from Bookmarklet

"In a separate release, the Times also said it's hired Goldman Sachs "to explore the possible sale of the Company's 17.75 percent ownership interest in New England Sports Ventures," also known as Major League Baseball's Boston Red Sox." - Kathleen Anderson from Bookmarklet

"If you ever wondered why our banks are failing, the answer, my friends, is greed. Greed that President Obama is trying to put an end to—starting with Citigroup's plans for a $50 million jet." - Kathleen Anderson from Bookmarklet

The best and most efficient systems don't collapse and melt down. - Todd Hoff

"Anyone who watched the news videos this week of Hillary Clinton’s entrance into the Department of State would have been struck by the outpouring of the staffers there. She was surrounded by people; people taking photographs with their phones and cameras; people who obviously knew her from somewhere before; people who were just trying to pump her hand, to touch her, people who were just so damned glad that SHE was there. The only thing I did not see was someone throw themselves on the ground to kiss the hem of her pantsuit. Dorothy had landed; the wicked witch was dead, and the Munchkins had emerged to celebrate and throw off their fear." - Kathleen Anderson from Bookmarklet

"During a question-and-answer session with reporters after announcing his choice of Ms. Gillibrand, Gov. David A. Paterson batted away a question about Mr. Cuomo. He said that Mr. Cuomo had never formally asked for the job of senator. Interestingly, Mr. Paterson said he did not pick Mr. Cuomo, whom he called “as qualified as anyone who I looked at,” because it would have meant that all three of New York’s statewide elected officials would not have been elected to their jobs." - Kathleen Anderson from Bookmarklet

"As Obama weaved through the crowded chambers Thursday afternoon shaking hands with the journalists and camera operators, a reporter asked how the president could reconcile a strict ban on lobbyists in his administration with a deputy defense secretary nominee who lobbied for Raytheon, Politico said." - Kathleen Anderson from Bookmarklet

"PIX NEWS is being told that Congresswoman Kirsten Gillibrand is the reported choice of Governor David Paterson to fill the U.S. Senate seat vacated by Hillary Clinton. Two Congressional sources say members of the New York delegation have been invited to join Governor Paterson for the announcement in Albany at noon tomorrow." - Kathleen Anderson from Bookmarklet

"Earlier today, President Obama issued his first set of Executive Orders. One of these orders instructs “federal agencies to handle requests for information from the public and press under the Freedom of Information Act [FOIA] with an eye toward disclosure, not refusal.” The order reportedly returns to “pre-Bush administration policies” regarding FOIA. In response to the “new standard of openness,” conservative talker Rush Limbaugh said that he fears that the more open FOIA rules will make it easier for Bush to be held to account for any misdeeds he committed as president: LIMBAUGH: What I’m afraid of is that what Obama did with this executive order is actually make it easier for the media to go get Bush documents. Because you know Pelosi and some of the guys over in congress are talking about war crimes trials and charges and so forth. […] What I’m afraid of is what Obama’s done here is made the gathering of the information for this kind of stuff– This is not American. This is not America" - Kathleen Anderson from Bookmarklet

The mendacity of Limbaugh never fails to surprise, no matter how many times I tell myself that he can't possibly top himself after the last nutty thing he said. - Steven Perez

"January 21, 2009 (Computerworld) President Barack Obama's stated plan to create a "Google for government" began Tuesday with a WhiteHouse.gov makeover that was announced via a blog entry on the redesigned Web site and a Twitter post. The Web-site transition occurred at 12:01 p.m. yesterday, when Obama officially took over the presidency from predecessor George W. Bush. The Twitter announcement said "Change has come to WhiteHouse.gov" and pointed online readers to the blog post written by Macon Phillips, the Obama administration's director of new media at the White House. The @TheWhitehouse Twitter account was set up by the Bush administration, which posted more than 1,500 entries there. But the account never attracted much of a following until now. On Monday, it had only about 3,800 followers. By this evening, just a little over 24 hours since Obama's inauguration, the number of followers had topped 14,000 and was seemingly climbing with each page refresh." - Kathleen Anderson from Bookmarklet

"Caroline Kennedy has withdrawn from consideration for the vacant Senate seat in New York, according to a person told of her decision." - Kathleen Anderson from Bookmarklet

CNN just confirmed. - Andrew Leyden

"HARTFORD, Conn. -- Connecticut Democrats are calling on Sen. Joe Lieberman to apologize to President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden for his comments criticizing them during the campaign. The request was made in a Jan. 16 letter from Nancy DiNardo, chairwoman of the state party, on behalf of the Democratic State Central Committee. It chastises the longtime Democrat, who won re-election in 2006 as an independent, for speaking at the Republican National Convention on behalf of Sen. John McCain." - Kathleen Anderson from Bookmarklet

"Vice President Dick Cheney pulled a muscle in his back while moving boxes and will be in a wheelchair for Tuesday's inauguration ceremony. White House press secretary Dana Perino said Monday that Cheney was helping to move into his new home outside Washington in McLean, Va., when he injured his back. His doctor recommended that he needed a wheelchair for the next couple of days." - Kathleen Anderson from Bookmarklet

What is a guy with a catheter doing picking up boxes? - Steven Perez

"New York Gov. David Paterson appears to be slowly nearing the end of his lengthy deliberation process over whom to appoint to replace Hillary Clinton as New York's junior senator. Paterson has stated that he would wait until the Senate confirmed Clinton as secretary of state before he formally selected her replacement. Clinton is expected to be confirmed when the Senate convenes at 3 p.m. after the inaugural Tuesday." - Kathleen Anderson from Bookmarklet

"As the clock ticks down the last days of the George W. Bush administration, a long list of people are hoping the president might pardon them for their criminal acts. This year, it is possible the president himself, as well as members of his administration, might be on that list—for authorizing torture. On his way out the door, President Bush might be tempted to protect himself and members of his administration by issuing a broad pardon for any crimes committed in the course of fighting terrorism." - Kathleen Anderson from Bookmarklet

"The debate over whether you should follow everyone who follows you on Twitter has raged on ever since the popular micro-blogging service gained traction. Some say following everyone eliminates the real value Twitter provides--connecting with others of similar interests. Others say that following everyone actually provides more value. But if you consider some of the finer points of following everyone who follows you on Twitter, I think you might come to the realization, just as I have, that following everyone is not just a responsible move on your part, it's good of the entire community." - Kathleen Anderson from Bookmarklet

If you won't add valuable information to any of my conversations, I won't follow you back. Simple as that. If You only use twitter to promote your webcontent, I won't follow you back. If you are a "Social Media Expert" I definately won't follow you back because I don't waste my time with "Experts". - Mirco
