Just a quick note to let folks know that I’ve finally taken the time to rewrite TweetDumpr. It now actually works again, plus it’s quite a bit faster as well. The two limitations are that it will only be able to get the latest 3200 tweets from your timeline, and it will only work for [...]

Launched at Startup Camp Australia last weekend, uTag is a new service aimed at rewarding users for the value they pass onto their online social networks. At its core, it is a URL shortening service – the difference is that uTag place a banner ad frame on top of the redirected website, sharing revenue with [...]

Obviously, despite all the talk of long tails, quitting blogging, and all the other issues flying around lately, there are a hell of a lot of perks to being an A-List blogger, or indeed an A-List anything. One huge perk of not being an A-List blogger occurred to me the other day, however – being [...]

As some of you may know, I am departing to live and work in San Francisco tomorrow, and I really wanted to do a quick post thanking a few of the people involved in getting me there. For a start, I truly want to publicly thank the guys at Happener. Markus and Greg totally blew [...]

I write this as I wait for a late train – the perfect time for a bit of Twitter action – but the service is down once more. Sure, their actual uptime rating might not be so bad, but it is one of those services that people (including me) really miss when it isn’t there. [...]

Read about some changes and updates. The general response to my hesitation on the release of my Twitter timeline export tool was that I should, indeed, release it. So I have. The tool now carries one of the most attractive names around: TweetDumpr. With it, you can export your entire Twitter timeline to a CSV [...]

Update: I have now released the tool. As part of developing the Twitter Stats application, I created a standalone script that will dump a user’s entire Twitter timeline to a CSV file (comma separated value, readable by spreadsheet applications such as Excel), including the tweet text and the post time. Initially, it was my intention [...]

Yes, I’ve been at it again and developed another Twitter bot. What makes this one special, however, is the fact that it is my first interactive bot. So, I would like to introduce you all to @weatherbot – the interactive on-demand Twitter weather service. While it is still very beta, I think it is at [...]

There have been way too many Twitter-related posts here lately, so I promise that this will be the last one for a while. In a similar vein to my triviabot, I have made a new Twitter bot called bushbot that, as the name implies, automatically posts random quotes  from George W. Bush, President of the [...]

After a suggestion from @abacab, I have created a little Twitter trivia bot. This bot posts a random fact from RandomFacts.org to its Twitter account every hour. There are some really interesting things coming through on it, so if you like trivia, give @triviabot a follow. I will be adding more features soon, such as [...]
