So I finally took the plunge and setup a Twitter account. My final reasoning for doing so was the fact that I am always on Skype and like to use the Skype Mood feature but I thought it would be a cool idea to share my status with everyone, not just my Skype buddies. So I looked into it a bit and found that I can use Twitter as my main “status” holding system, as well as posting anything I like. Then using a new program called “Twype” my Skype status is automatically updated based on Twitter. I also downloaded TweetDeck so I can update both my Skype and Facebook statuses from one place. It’s pretty nifty. Although I must say the best one of all is the program I have on my Windows Mobile phone called PockeTwit which is simply cool. It uses a cool UI that works great with touch screen devices. It even understands more advanced touch screen motions like slides and flicks. I think the coolest part though is when I post a status update using PockeTwit I can get my current position using GPS coordinates from the built-in GPS device and then post a link with my status to show my posting location on Google Maps. That’s just pretty slick if you ask me. So you can follow me by clicking on the link on the navigation menu.
Here are the links to the software I am using:
