Dave Klein just updated a list of NFJS past and present speaker twitter accounts on the nfjs-alumni group and I thought it might help to re-iterate this list a little more visibly. Many of these people are my favorite people to watch on Twitter so I heartily recommend this list.

On a hot tip from Guillaume Laforge, I checked out Nambu tonight as a Twitter client. And hot damn this is what I’ve been waiting for! My old stand-by Twhirl is hitting the trash can tonight.
So here’s a short list of reasons Nambu is the shit:

Choose your interface – just your [...]

I thought it would be fun to write a Ruby script to generate the HTML table I used in the previous post and it turned out to be a nice little exercise. I admit way up front here that I am still getting the feel for Ruby so it’s entirely likely that my Ruby [...]

Given that I’ve been diverting a fair amount of attention to posting on Twitter lately (@puredanger) I thought maybe it would be worthwhile dropping the set of links I post there to this blog. I’m on the fence about whether this is actually annoying or useful. I’m sure you’ll let me know. :)

I saw (and participated) in a barrage of tweets today from Twitter directory WeFollow. Basically you send a tweet to @wefollow with #tag1 #tag2 #tag3 that you want to be listed under in the WeFollow directory. Then users looking for people who tweet about that topic can find the most popular tweetists by [...]

I realized recently that I’ve been through three different stages of using Twitter as my number of followers / followed has increased (they’ve always been roughly the same).
Stage 1 – friends – only connected to a small number of people that I know well. All tweets are fairly valuable and of interest to [...]

On the old blog here, I wrote 186 entries in 2008 and saw a slow but steady increase in traffic. Overall, I had 199,341 visitors (+29%), 142,268 unique visitors (+42%), and 333,975 pageviews (+33%). I wrote 186 blog entries in 2008 down from 197 in 2007. My blog output was definitely down [...]

Okay lazyweb, here’s my Twitter idea of the day:
Create a Twitter bot that you can use for instant Twitter-based polls. Create the poll by sending a message to the bot with first word as poll key (I’ll prefix with ? but maybe that’s just over-complicating). Everyone who follows you sees it and then [...]

Just saw this post about reasons people Twitter. After having been on Twitter for 2 weeks I completely disagree with all of these except maybe weakly on #4 – I don’t use it for any of those reasons.
So far the benefits I’ve seen from using Twitter:

I’m planning on twittering when possible at JavaOne. I’m kind of a luddite in the phone dept so probably depends how much I have the computer on and connected.
Check out crazybob’s great summary on how you can get hooked into the JavaOne twitter scene as well.
Even if you’re not going to be there, this [...]
