I do not have the tallies all in yet, but my estimate is that we raised just about $1500 for The Prostate Cancer Foundation and The Lance Armstrong Foundation at the party! Thank you to all the people who came to the party, who brought donations both monetary and for the raffle, who helped me keep things running smoothly, and who had a great time. As I get more pictures and information I will post them both here on my blog and through Twitter so that everyone can get a glimpse of the great fun we had. If you know who all won prizes at the event, I would really appreciate you sharing this information with me so I can… » Read More

#nsn – No Shave November (Twitter List) Here is before I shaved this morning: Here is after I shaved: I do not EVER shaved my chin.  So, when I do it always feels really weird.  I also decided to use a brand new razor this morning, because well…I am not going to be using one for the whole month. This means I am saving money! Sphere: Related Content… » Read More

About Me/BackStory I might regret admitting this: In almost EVERY SINGLE situation, if a friend or even an acquaintance needs help of any kind I am there 100% to help out in any way possible.  I will help friends move, give free advice on WordPress or other web stuff, pick up a friend from the airport at 11:00pm because her flight was cancelled, I have even run into the burning house of people I didn’t know. It’s who I am and what I do, I always have. Sometimes, I even go out looking for ways I can help.  I have been known to ask NPOs like the 1010Project if I can promote what they are doing through my Twitter feed,… » Read More

So, when I built ProbableFollow.com it was perfectly clear to me why I was building it.  It seems that maybe I live in my own little bubble where flowers bloom, the sun rises every day, and as I skip and whistle through the forest while all the wonderful animals harmonize with me. It turns out that my idea has caused some controversy and some very confused tweeple.  Some people seem to think that I am making a statement and pushing my non-twitter-purist ideals on them because they have a low follow back probability.  Some people seem to think that I am aggrandizing those that follow everyone back, just because I put the 98%+ crowd on the homepage. So, I will… » Read More

Since Startup Weekend, I have noticed the impact that having that many top-notch people around in one place has had on those same top-notch people. Many different blog posts, tweets and general conversation has come out of this weekend.  So I am going to do my best to aggregate some of that information here.

These are all of the features I would like to see in a single twitter app.  If there is a twitter app that already has all of these features, then tell me, so I can STFU and get my perfect app.  I would love it if this could happen. Twitter Features Following/Unfollowing Allow me to follow or unfollow people from the app. I know the API has this feature. Search Yep, I want to be able to search. Yep, I would like the results to be in a time line like my normal feed Yep, I would like to have multiple searches Nope, you don’t have to keep these running in the background, just run them when I look at… » Read More
