your.FlowingData – Collect Data About Yourself With Twitter
Wednesday, July 15th, 2009 | Marketing, Research, Tools, Twitter, WebApps, analytics | No Comments
Now you can track all your twitter movements automatically with the latest FREE research tool just released by FlowingData. Appropriately named your.flowingdata, it’s only a quick 2 minute setup and then the webapp will start collecting all of your twitter data for you to later explore with built-in tools that resemble IBM’s Many Eyes dashboard. As with any behavioral analysis tool, the more data you have the better the results will be so I can easily see this tool being widely used by researchers and interactive planners alike for a seriously long time (I wonder if they have any personal database limitations that would prevent one infinite 365 day data-stream?). Worried about exposing your private twitter habits? Have no fear my friend, all the data collected is automatically set to ‘private.’ If at a later date you’d like to release it to the masses then that’ll be up to you, but for all you tin-foil hat wearing twitter users – you’re secrets are still safe.
Here are some screen shots showing a sampling of the reports that are built-in to the dashboard, they look amazing!
JamLegend is Free Online Guitar Hero!
Tuesday, May 12th, 2009 | Beta, Games, Music, WebApps | 1 Comment
Like Guitar Hero but wish you could play it at work without your boss catching you air-guitaring in the break room? Now you can with the recently opened beta online game JamLegend.com!
Pretty much it’s guitar hero meets the keyboard….even allowing you to change up which keys are assigned to which strings, enable or disable having to strum & it even gives you the option to disable 3+ note chords (for the weaksauce soft-rockers). They’ve come up with a way where you can use your keyboard (this is where a wireless keyboard is strongly suggested) similar to how you’d hold the console-version plastic guitars….though if you’re at work I would recommend you not playing in this fashion as it may draw unneeded attention from coworkers.
You can play against the computer, be auto-matched against another online player or even challenge other users and friends to duels/showdowns (A duel lets you take a high score and challenge a user to match or beat it, a showdown allows for real-time multiplayer matches). In addition to achievements there are levels, XP earned/lost as well as a rapidly growing list of songs. Want to hear the song you and your drunk friends recorded on the site? Not a problem – they’re actively seeking new material, all the artist has to do is fill out a short form agreeing to allow their material to appear on the site.
Already have a guitar controller and want to use it with JamLegend.com? No Problem! They’ve got a wiki with instructions for how to use your Wii, PS2/PS3 and even Xbox260 controllers with your computer….so if nosy bosses aren’t a problem feel free to rock away on your fake plastic guitars against other online players in a fight to top the charts as the JamLegend superstar!
Anyhow, there you go – the latest site to take up all the time I should be spending on writing new posts…Enjoy!
R.I.P Geocities – We’ll always remember the animated gifs
Saturday, April 25th, 2009 | Business, News, Yahoo | No Comments
It has just been reported that Yahoo has finally shut down age-old free web hosting service Geocities for good this time. Acquired by Yahoo! in 1999 for a whopping $2.87 billion, it was a service that many used to get their first website. Ohh how I will always remember those animated flame border .gifs and the flashing text featured all over the page…and who could forget the scrolling news going across the top of the screen…it was the coolest.
You were a legend, you will be missed.

Free Gmail Stickers – Get ‘em While They’re Hot!
Monday, December 8th, 2008 | Funny, Promotion, google | No Comments
They just posted over at the official Gmail blog that apparently the engineering team had recently suffered from a bad case of holiday spirit and decided to print up in bulk some of the homemade stickers that had been circulating through the office. Everything from some wacky Gmail keyboard shortcuts, a bunch of shiny envelopes, a robot and even a friggin’ unicorn. Yes, a unicorn.
So, if you want some free Gmail stickers of your own, all you have to do is send a self-addressed stamped envelope (with short note if possible) to:
Send me some Gmail stickers already
P.O. Box 391420
Mountain View, CA 94039-1420
I so want the unicorn:
