Pushing Tweets – iTweetReply

Oliver Haslam — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 15:11:59 +0000

When Apple told us we were going to get push notifications way back at the dawn of time (well, it feels like it was that long ago!) I started looking forward to pushed tweets. Since we finally got the fabled notifications with iPhone OS 3.0 we’ve bee treated to a [...]

An invitation: South Yorkshire Tweetup !

Oliver Haslam — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 22:30:11 +0000

It seems you can’t read a page of tweets these days without there being some sort of tweetup, and everyone I talk to tells me they’re great fun, and a wonderful way of making new friends. This got me thinking. Is it time for a tweetup of our own ?

Handy Tweetie tip: Tweet Mobile Safari links

Oliver Haslam — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 22:55:32 +0000

As anyone who follows me on Twitter will know, my current iPhone tweeting tool of choice is the excellent Tweetie. I like how it’s managed to combine a simple user interface with the power of a desktop client (Tweetdeck, for example)

One feature I’ve been looking for in an iPhone client though, [...]

The 5 stages of Twitter acceptance

Oliver Haslam — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 22:49:46 +0000

I’ve always said that Twitter is one of those tools that you don’t really ‘get’ until you start using it. I know, for me, I thought it was just another internet fad that would go away soon enough. I figured it was a bit pointless and no-one would want to listen to what I [...]

The great Twitter giveaway

Oliver Haslam — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 16:22:04 +0000

So I admit it, I’m a Twitter addict. I’m not ashamed of it either.

I’ve also got a spare photo keychain knocking around, new and still boxed. Can you see where this is going yet?

Yup, you guess it. Following in the footsteps of @kevinrose and @alexalbrecht I’m offering free goodies [...]

Why Twitter is better than milk

Oliver Haslam — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 13:04:01 +0000

If you’re not in your mid-twenties and from the UK you won’t get any of that title, but meh.

During one of my random Youtube trawls this morning, I came across a video from Diggnation’s Kevin Rose whis is basically a short clip from one of the Diggnatition podcasts.

To cut a long story [...]

Twellow.com – Twitter user search and directory

Oliver Haslam — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 22:10:53 +0000

Twitter. It’s a wonderful thing. All those people, tweeting away. But who do you know who to follow? How do you find someone of interest? Twello.com, that’s how.

Two of the things that have been missing from Twitter are the ability to search for words inside tweets, and a way to find people based on [...]

In today’s connected world, more and more of our life is spent online, using various websites day in day out. Be it social networking sites such as Twitter, Facebook or Flickr, we can have numerous tabs open in our browsers all the time. Wouldn’t it be neat if they were stand alone [...]

Looking for a Twitter alternative? Good luck !

Oliver Haslam — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 09:12:44 +0000

I‘m sure a good chunk of current Twitter users take issue with its current ‘is it up, is it down’ state of affairs, and Mike Bogle is no exception. So much so, he’s spent a whole week Twitter-free, and tried out a couple of alternatives. Pownce and Jaiku both [...]
