Not a big truck

Everyone loves Twitter. And the biggest political users of twitter so far have been members of the GOP in Congress. But, is it OK to Twitter comments while in a “private” meeting with President Obama? I think that it’s great and I want to see more of it.

“Audiences usually treat presidents to a round of polite applause, but when President Obama addressed House Republicans on Tuesday, they started Twittering,” according to The Hill.

“While Obama implored Republicans behind closed doors to consider supporting his economic stimulus bill, GOP thumbs worked overtime, tapping updates onto the microblogging website for thousands to read.”

A new way to blog about things.

Almost everyone has a blog. And almost everyone goes weeks or months at a time where they post nothing on their personal blog out of sheer lack of ideas. That’s where Plinky comes into play.

Plinky is a simple concept: A question is posted each day for you and answer and then publish (with rather nice formatting) via whatever means you choose. They support Blogger, Wordpress, Tumblr, Twitter and just about every other free/not-so-free content publishing platform out there. Here’s an example post from Plinky on my Tumblr.

There have been many recent additions by software developers to the make your own music craze. Now it looks like ol’ MS has finally joined the pack. Their ad campaign for the new software, Songsmith, however, does not speak to me. In fact, I feel embarrassed just watching it. Two interesting details: the first is that it looks like Lisa is using a Mac, the second, Songsmith apparently has Jazzy levels, among others.
