I’ve enjoyed writing Twitter Hacks for the last year or so. I still very much love following the developments surrounding Twitter and all the cool apps, hacks and other tools that people come up with. But I’m also interested in covering more than just Twitter in the whole micro blogging realm, including talking about phones, wifi, apis, and everything related to cutting the cords and being truly mobile.

With that in mind, I’ve moved all the old Twitter Hacks content to this new site, Mobility Hacks. I’m still working on the design, but for now we can get back to the business of blogging and covering more topics.

Old urls, feed links etc. will all continue to work as they are redirected here, though I encourage you to update your bookmarks and feed subscriptions.

Pardon The Mess

posted in Uncategorized on 01/12/08 at 09:01 PM

Please excuse the mess, we’ve had a template mix up and I think the original may be lost. Argh!

It’s been that kinda day today.

Update: Thanks to my host who had a recent backup, the theme has mostly been restored. I have to apply some small css tweaks I made, but basically it’s fully functional again! Woot.

Site Update - New Design

posted in Uncategorized on 11/17/07 at 02:11 AM

Just a quick update: I’ve updated the theme here on Twitter Hacks so for those of you who visit the site you might want to refresh. The layout is based on the template I did for my personal blog (Chrispian.com) and will probably need some tweaking here and there.

TwitterNotes is the perfect mashup for Twitter, if you ask me. For a while now, I’ve had a note scrawled on an index card that says “figure out how to use Twitter as a “notes to self” solution”. While hosted solutions aren’t my favorite, this one is really simple and works pretty well. I will most certainly be using this handy little service.

New Twitter Feature: Find People!

posted in Uncategorized on 08/21/07 at 08:08 PM

Biz Stone sent out the latest newsletter from Twitter just a few minutes ago and they’ve added a feature I’ve been looking forward to: People Search. Now you can find out if someone you want to follow is on there or look up friends and collegues. Glad to see this much needed feature to make connecting on the service easier. From Biz:

It’s new feature season and we’re starting with People Search. This new Twitter feature is great for finding more people to follow because it searches profile information such as name, location, bio, and url. Come on by and find out if your friends are already Twittering and you just didn’t now it! The search field is on the right side of Twitter when you sign in: http://twitter.com
