"… is now following you on Twitter" – why do I hate these notifications?

I hate them, because 99% of these new followers simply expect you to follow them back, and their names just don't sound intriguing, so I will never follow them back.

How to Find a Twitter RSS or Atom Feed

Just replace the xxxxxx by the twitter id here:

  • http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/xxxxx.rss
  • http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/xxxxx.atom



Just that the RSS feed goes much further to the past and the Atom feed doesn't.

Using this kind of feed helps me following people's tweets from within Google Reader.

my blogs, Facebook, Twitter, "NetworkedBlogs"

Most things I write and that I want to share, I usually write and publish on one of my blogs.
But I like to see them on my Facebook wall, in my Twitter stream, and also in my Buzz stream as well.

NetworkedBlogs.com offer a Facebook application, that picks up the (new) articles on my blogs and creates resp. entries on my Facebook wall and also on my Twitter stream.

Now the tweets, they generate also appear on my Facebook wall. That is a little annyoing. And I don't know, how to stop this. Is it NetworkedBlogs.com, that pulls my Twitter stream onto my Facebook wall, is it Facebook itself. For sure, it's me, who configured that somewhere at some stage in the past. But as I said: I don't know, how to stop this.

It's pretty similar on my Buzz stream, but that's not directly because of NetworkedBlogs.com. I want to have my blogs articles included there and also my tweets. But then most tweets got created from blog articles. It's rather rare, that I write a tweet manually. I got my Buzz stream to include my blogs and also my Twitter stream. That is easy to handle.

Sometimes I remove duplicate Facebook wall and Buzz entries, but not very often.

I am a software developer, that's true, but so far I have been a little lazy, and I did not create an application myself, that would smartly derive Facebook wall and Buzz entries and also tweets, avoiding redundancy. I am sure my readers get pretty annoyed by that redundancy. It's simply, that I have no time to fight this redundancy. This is rather sad.

my Twitter timeline at bedtime

I feel so much better, if I go to sleep pretty much in sync with my Twitter timeline. That just implies, it's pretty unlikely, I will lose something, until I will be able to catch up again tomorrow in the early afternoon.

an article on railsfreak.com: the right tool for your job

My second thing to do this morning might me digging into this tweet by rubyflow, the twitterer:
The right tool for your job
A tweet pointing to an article on railsfreak.com.

an interview with Stevan Little about Moose

Starting my day with an interview with Stevan Little about Moose, an idea I picked up from a tweet from perlbuzz, the twitterer.


(Do I really have to keep in mind, that this will be picked up by ironman.enlightenedperl.org? BTW it's bad, that they even match "perl" within words of my blog-articles, even if that does not have anything to do with perl as a programming language.)



Listening to the "perlcast",
reading the text at the same time

(keep in mind: I am not a native English speaker/reader/listener, so that helps!!),
drinking my breakfast coffee …

»Audrey coined the term “O-fun,” optimized for fun.«
"O-fun" – I think I will use this term a lot from now on.

»We’re hoping that Moore’s Law will catch up, and we’ll have a break.«

»I didn’t want it to have “feature-itis”«

»It’ll probably be a good idea to let people know where to go to get started if they wanted to learn about Mouse. …«
»… Yes, we have the Moose.Perl.org domain. …
The IRC channel has Moose on IRC.Perl.org. …
And the mailing list.
The mailing list has been getting a lot of traffic lately,
which I’m very happy about
because that means we have a lot of indexed content in there.«



(wow, I am still learning how to make better use of my Mac keyboard.
what do you think, where are these "guillemet" quotation characters hidden?
at q like quotation, of course … .
have a good laugh: at some stage, when I tried using that, I confused the Alt and the Cmd key, and … ;-( my browser shut down,
but luckily enough it restarted with all the right places.)


that perlcast was a very good thing to start my day with.
it boosted my motivation to use Moose.

this article was actually first "prepared" as a Google Buzz.
follow me there, if you want!
I would welcome that very much.

my iPhone twitter app: tweetie

I selected tweetie as my app, because it is quite outstanding in the comparison table on 12 Twitter Apps for the iPhone. It's quote important to me, that it is multi-account.
BTW: my twitter home page -- just in case ...

me on twitter

Jochen started tweeting ... -- yes, maybe that's not really, what the world was keeping its breath for ;-) but I thought, I give it a try.

No, I certainly don't want to have get SMSs at whatever time, I rather prefer a PC or iPhone multi-account application.
