Recently I wrote when I quit using Pownce because of instability issues. So I thought I would give Plurk another shot. Now I didn’t really use Plurk when it first launched. . .but I did sign up to get the name ‘Four20′.
I looked over the service that first time and thought ‘what is this place’. [...]

Bye Pownce. . .Hello Plurk
Dvorak Feels Bad?
I noticed that John C. Dvorak has quit plugging his blog as much as he used to. Before I would ear it at least 2 times on Cranky Geeks. . .sometimes even getting like 5 plugs in. Which I guess since it’s his own show I can’t blame him right?
John doesn’t feel bad for plugging [...]
What Do You Use Twitter For?
Some use it as a social network, some use it to market themselves or their blogs/websites, and even some use it to tell them when to water their plants.
Why Twitter?
I sort of understand why everyone hasn’t jumped ship to Pownce. . .but why not Jaiku? Even Jaiku copies Twitter’s 140 character limit and it’s even more stable.
Twitter: Outages Could Last Months. . .

Leo Quits Twitter. . .

The King of Twitter
I bet Jason Calacanis can’t believe it. Leo Laporte not only passed him on his way to #1. . .he also didn’t have to offer a MacBook Air to get a good chunk of his followers. To top it off, even Kevin Rose has 3,000 more followers than Jason now.
Congratulations Leo!
Pownce Admits Defeat?
I can’t be the only one that has noticed Kevin Rose getting the Twitter fever like everyone else. Is Kevin turning it’s back on Pownce. . .when Pownce first launched Kevin plugged it quite a few times on Diggnation. . .not so much anymore.
Say No To Tweet
A few days I setup a quick poll to see what you thought about the term Tweet. 40% said you liked the term. . .31% said you didn’t like the term. . .and 29% said it didn’t matter.
I just want to go on record saying. . .
To Tweet Or Not To Tweet
This is the question. I was about to do a write-up on my opinion of the term Tweet. . .but wanted to see what you, the readers, thought. I believe Molly Wood has already said on BOL that she doesn’t like the term. . .what about you?

So this is my blog. This will be the place I go to write up random thoughts about random things. Most of it will deal with the internet or technology. . .since I am a geek. Just don't expect anything too exciting. . .
