It appears that last weeks timeline slowdown wan't enough bad news to happen to the microblogging site Twitter.  Service has been spotty today as various APIs were having trouble connecting to the service. Is this an issue surrounding massive growth or is it just the result of too many spam bots trolling the open waters? I don't know about you but I have recently been hit with a number of users that have account names with more numbers than letters, and churn from the affiliate ma... Read Full Story

In a past post, I demonstrated how to acquire a badge from Linkedin and install the HTML code in your Blogger blog. A number of you out there made good of that code and put it to immediate use. Here’s what you need to know. Facebook also offers a badge. Plaxo offers a badge as well. And Twitter gives you the opportunity to create a window into your tweets right on your blog. The downside for some of these badges is that they take up a lot of real estate on your blog. In perusing some of ... Read Full Story

Gaining Access To Multiple Yahoo Accounts Using IE8 OK. I logged into my second Yahoo email account recently. I typically login to my catchall account everyday to look at the spam, check email marketing samples, and look for anything of value that may find it’s way into the account. But I login to my “technical” account about once or twice a month. For the longest time, if you had multiple Yahoo email accounts, you had to log out of the one that you had opened on your machine because Yahoo o... Read Full Story

Accessing Multiple Gmail Accounts Using IE8 In a previous post, we saw how to open multiple gmail accounts with IE8. And we saw that all of the action was contained in the menu bar under “file”->”new session”. There is another way to achieve the same result using IE8 but it takes a little more configuration setup.

This last weekend I broke down and installed Internet Explorer 8. I had been using IE7 and had heard such lackluster things about IE8 that I really saw no reason to make the jump to Internet Explorer 8 when Microsoft finally announced it for general availability. To be fair, I did run some preliminary tests on it when it was in beta. Again, I saw nothing that really blew my socks off and there were some challenges with some of the Google Apps that I was using. So after a week of running some ... Read Full Story
