TwitThis – Twitter plugin for Wordpress

TomWolf — Mon, 10 Sep 2007 12:53:55 +0000

TwitThis is a plugin that lets your visitor share your content with others. You can use it at your site or as a Wordpress plugin that adds the TwitThis icon to every post. It is pretty simple, someone likes what you write and they press the TwitThis icon wich lets them publish your post over Twitter as a mini url. The installation is very straight forward and the icon looks good =)

Twitter: En omvärldsbevakning

TomWolf — Tue, 04 Sep 2007 02:19:25 +0000

Sorry, so far this post is in Swedish only. In short it is an analyzis of what Twitter is, how to use it and what to use it for. I’ll try to update with an english version shortly.

Blogging from MSN

TomWolf — Wed, 29 Aug 2007 17:26:50 +0000

This is posted through MSN messenger using the service imified.com. It’s the same server I use to update my twitter status through MSN. Not the most advanced function in the world but just the fact that it works gives it a pretty high score.

Twitter + MSN = Twessenger – review

TomWolf — Tue, 28 Aug 2007 15:09:20 +0000

Doesn’t anyone follow you on Twitter? It doesn’t help that you have your twitter status both on your Facebook and in your Wordpress blog? Well now you can finally show your tweets to the world through your MSN status msg =) This application does something I have been waiting for since I started with Twitter and it does it well. One small drawback is that the install is a tad bit complicated but luckily the readme file explains all very well.

FoxyTunes + TwittyTunes – Reviews

TomWolf — Tue, 28 Aug 2007 12:19:03 +0000

FoxyTunes is a very well made plugin that lets you control your media through Firefox. With a small bar at the bottom of your browser you can control Winamp, Mediaplayer or any media player ranging from Mediaplayer Classic to Xbox Mediacenter. You are also connected to the FoxyTunes database wich lets you find out more about the artist you are listening to with just a few clicks. You can find lyrics, videos on youtube and much more. Another nice feature I wasn’t ready for is a button that was added to WordPress that adds the current song you are listening to as a signature in the post you are writing. (example below) With the extra little plugin TwittyTunes you are also just a click away from twitting about what you are listening to or watching.

Firefox + Twitter merge – reviews

TomWolf — Tue, 28 Aug 2007 01:01:15 +0000

TwitBin

Where do you spend most of your online time? For me it’s the webbrowser and thus I’m happy that I now can twit very easily directly from Firefox. I also have a nice sidebar with all my friends’ tweets. This is a plugin I recomend for all that is or want to be twitting on a regular basis.

BlogRovR

BlogRovR is a multitool. One one hand it is capable of fetching blogposts about whatever page you are visiting, on the other hand it is an easy way to tweet about whatever page you are visiting. It lacks the feature of watching your friends tweets so I won’t be using it as much as TwitBin.

Xfire profile @ Facebook – review

TomWolf — Tue, 28 Aug 2007 00:04:31 +0000

Not much of a review as a mention really. There is an Facebook application that allows you to show off your xfire profile. It shows if you are online, how much you have played your favourite game this week and ever. Nothing fantastic but still nice.

Chess.com on Facebook – review

TomWolf — Mon, 27 Aug 2007 19:53:24 +0000

Chess.com is a great page to play chess online for free and the Facebook chess application are now supported by the chess.com engine. We can look forward to more features like tournaments, better chat system and better javascript for the graphics. Due to the lack of intuitivity when starting out I can’t give this application a top score but if you like chess it’s definatly worth installing and wrapping your head around.

Edit: I took away half a star after realising that the engine on Facebook isn’t connected to that on chess.com and thus you can’t play against oponents on chess.com.

MSN to Twitter – Review

TomWolf — Mon, 27 Aug 2007 16:38:43 +0000

IMified has a nice system that lets you update things like Twitter through MSN. A long time ago I started using IMified to tweet and it has worked perfectly. All I have to do is open a chat with the IMified client and type “/tw This is what I’m doing!” and it updates my . . . → Read More: MSN to Twitter – Review

Google Calendar for Facebook – Review

TomWolf — Mon, 27 Aug 2007 16:11:31 +0000

During the active parts of my life it revolves around Google Calendar. It was nice to see that it was possible to add google calendar to Facebook. The install wasn’t intuitive but it wasn’t impossible either and as soon as it was set up it worked nicely. The output in my profile is only textbased but that is enough for me. I’m not sure I’ll be using the calendar much in Facebook but it’s still nice to see that it works.
