Post your Twitter links!

[kopper]

Just wondering who else out there uses Twitter... I kinda like it. It's sorta like a mini-blog that can also work like a kind of chat interface. You only "follow" (or receive updates from) people you know or like or otherwise want to follow, so it's not like you have to follow everyone's updates (because many of them are really geeky and boring). Plus, the updates are short (140 characters or less). And if you get a few friends to sign up and use it, it can be kinda fun. It's taken a while, but it's really growing on me, despite the fact that most people I know aren't using it (yet).

It's also very useful when you're out and about because you can quickly check it from your phone to see what everyone's up to. For example, I know someone who was doing this last year at SXSW and they were able to find out where all the cool after-parties were instantaneously (while they were out trolling around town), just by getting the Twitter updates sent as text messages directly to their mobile phone or instant messenger (although I haven't done this yet myself).

I have two accounts, one for myself, and one for GaragePunk.com.

Actually, I like Plurk better! Even though I post pretty much the same exact nonsense on both, thanks to Ping.fm.

[kopper]

So you figured out how to post to both thru Ping.fm? How d'ya do it?

[Michael Kaiser]

Ping lets you check off the sites that you want updated (I post to Twitter, Plurk, Facebook and my personal Myspace page), and you can choose micro-blog or update for any post. Actually, Twitter and Plurk are considered "updates" instead of micro-blogs. At least with my set-up. It took a couple tries to get it right. Then I installed the Ping.fm widget for the iGoogle page, and post from there!

Combine that widget and the "BeTwittered" widget on iGoogle and yer set!

Has anyone checked out Blip.fm (not to be confused with Blip.tv, which is a different company/service entirely) yet? It's a lot like Twitter, but you can actually post songs, DJ-style, for others to hear. And their database is pretty frickin' amazing. I've been finding a lot of stuff I've searched for, and some (like Mike Rep & the Quotas) is pretty damned obscure. Also, if you want your music featured there, read this:

How do I get my music to show up in the search results?

In a perfect world we would have every song from every band ever, and we’re working on that, but for now there’s a chance that your music isn’t in our database. If you have music that you would like to make available for others to blip, you can save URLs to music otherwise not hosted. First, create an account (or log in if you already have one), then click the “Settings” link in the top right corner and click “Music” (link: http://blip.fm/settings/music). From there you can enter in as many urls to songs as you would like and we’ll save them for you and they will be accessible from our search. If you are an artist or label and would like us to host your content (e.g., because your content isn’t hosted anywhere else), you can contact us at [e-mail], providing your name and full contact information, as well as a list of the content you represent; requests will be considered on a case by case basis. NOTE: It’s a good idea to make sure the ID3 tags are in order, we plan to use them quite a bit.

Yup, I'm there now - of course (I get sucked into these things mighty easily).
