What the heck is going on, you ask? Say hello to Tersus.

Bare bones? You got it. Tersus is an achingly simple WordPress theme without all the usual cruft.

15 Days Down

It’s been 15 days since I started my “hia­tus” from Face­book and Twit­ter. It hasn’t gone quite as I had hoped. I still find myself read­ing Twit­ter from time to time and I’ve played some games on Face­book, but over­all my usage of both sites is sig­nif­i­cantly down. I feel like I’m miss­ing out on lots by not keep­ing … Read the rest of this item

Broken

Dear Twit­ter: Twit­ter Trends are bro­ken. Yes, they can give invalu­able insight on the pulse of Twit­ter as a whole, but they’ve long been irrel­e­vant to me and I don’t feel like I’m alone.. The sys­tem is eas­ily gamed. Ran­dom hash­tags like #SheP­rob­a­blyA­Hoe spread like syphillis but why? I know what you’re think­ing: just ignore them. Use a desk­top … Read the rest of this item

BaconTwits

So, a cou­ple of weeks ago Phil and I were jok­ing around about bacon. (It’s a pretty com­mon occur­rence these days.) We came up with the idea of  rais­ing money for a .bacon TLD (e.g. iaccidentallythewhole.bacon). Out of nowhere he sug­gests: twitterbacon.com. I thought it was bril­liant. I got the domain. I started work­ing on a site by myself, but couldn’t quite … Read the rest of this item

The new Twitter Transparency

One of my biggest com­plaints with Twit­ter is that users were left in the dark when the site was hav­ing prob­lems. That’s changed. Twitter’s more trans­par­ent than ever. Recently Techcrunch asked Twit­ter sev­eral ques­tions regard­ing their infra­struc­ture, poli­cies and more (Hey Twit­ter I Have A Few Ques­tions Too). Twit­ter answered back with “It’s not rocket sci­ence, but it’s … Read the rest of this item

Getting Local with Twitter

Recently I started an exper­i­ment on Twit­ter. I know that I’m not the only web/design geek in the area, so I decided to use Twit­ter to get to know some folks in the area. Using Twitter’s peo­ple search, I looked for peo­ple in and around Augusta, GA. The result? I’m not alone, and while Twit­ter use in and around … Read the rest of this item

Snitter

Get Snit­ter. Use Twit­ter, but look­ing for a viable desk­top app on the PC? Look no fur­ther than the Snit­ter AIR. Nicely done, Snook.
