watching #egypt

February 2, 2011 – 23:33

I don’t know if you are following this as much as I am, but I can’t keep from checking out the news rolling in on the #Egypt feed on twitter. It doesn’t get any more real than that with live pictures and video’s being blogged and tweeted first hand. Paper.li on #Egypt proves great for [...]

interesting links floating on twitter

April 15, 2010 – 18:32

Twitter is pretty cool isn’t it? It has like people chatting and ranting on about all sorts of stuff. But if you’re dealing with real people (not those pesky bots) you’ll end up reading some interesting tweets now and then. This is certainly so when it comes to the links tweeps (as they are called [...]

the lazyweb is back

December 23, 2009 – 21:31

June 24, 2009 – 20:30

A breakcore release from CAPSLOCK on a new Dutch netlabel. A long time ago another free CAPSLOCK release got pimped here as well, and this one is equally filled with distorted fast beats and eerie industrial sounds. Sweetness. A set mixed by Drop The Lime distributed together with a magazine but DTL was so free [...]

how to twitter

January 17, 2009 – 15:39

Is actually quite a silly question. It’s like blogging, but on a micro level (that’s why it’s called micro-blogging I guess). You basically do what you think should be done. I did brush up on my twitter etiquette lately, as I started expanding my follower count a big, and I didn’t want to piss people [...]

all you can eat twitter stats

April 10, 2008 – 18:32

Pic by CatCubed, cc-licensed Twitter. It’s kinda fun. It’s also fun to see how much apps are popping up all over the place doing something with the public data from the twitter feeds. Stuff like Twitterholic for instance, which gives you an overview of which twits have the most followers. Barack Obama is clearly at [...]
