ShareLast week was an exciting week in tech. The 3 bigs, Facebook, Twitter, and Google made some very relevant announcements that will have an affect on us all.
The first major announcement was Twitter Lists, which went live to all users on Friday. I agree with Scoble, Twitter Lists are the most significant upgrade to the Twitter platform since inception. Fresh on the heels of this...

ShareI’ve decided to write a series of posts this week outlining some of my takeaways from Blogworld 2009. This is meant to recap my notes and document some of the conversations that I thought were most valuable at Blogworld New Media Expo in Las Vegas October 15th -17th.
While most of the sessions at Blogworld inspired me to *think*, there was one session in particular, led by...
App Wednesday: Tweetie 2.0...
ShareIn spirit of App Wednesday, we’d like to recognize Tweetie 2. We were apprehensive to jump on the bandwagon last week because of all the hype. I wanted to try the app for myself and get used to some of the new idiosyncrasies. After a week of testing, I am convinced this is an app you need to buy if you Twitter. Much like Facebook mobile was a better app than Facebook.com,...iPhone Apps I that I think are cool, use...

ShareNews started breaking last week that Twitter have 50MM committed in the recent round of funding. It wasn’t until the dust settled and hype peaked that we found out they raised over 100MM on a billion dollar +++ valuation. Whoa!
Now, wherever you stand on this, you can’t deny it’s big news.

ShareUnofficial app stores have been a venture all their own. A crowded space, but whitehot if you can command the attention and respect of the community.
@Pistachio is someone the Twitter community has been quietly routing for, for a while now. It is widely known that she introduced the uber-influential Guy Kawasaki to twitter, among her many other accolades.

Twitter Belly Flops on OAuth support and gives new meaning to the term Fail Whale. In fact, they didn’t even bother to do a snazzy ‘we suck’ graphic that the community can banter about. WTF?
I wouldn’t bring attention to this normally, but Twitter OAuth was being heralded as a popular alternative Facebook Connect despite the fact it was in ‘public...

Okay, many of you know that I started a new gig over the last 3 weeks. Life as I know it, has been turned upside down, sideways, shaken up, and splattered everywhere. To say I’ve been befuddled is an understatement.
How am I coping with all the activity? I’m not. I am beyond email bankruptcy, Twitter overload, and ready to abandon my feed reader.
Not good.
Where do I...

ShareI have changed my name on Twitter to @SDmatt. I have been thinking about doing this for the better part of a year, but I didn’t know if I could actually pull the trigger.
I might completely regret this decision, but my frustration with the ‘mattsurfs’ moniker outgrew my desire to keep it.
I grew frustrated for two reasons:

At the same time most of my San Diego colleagues were schmoozin’ and boozin’, Angela and I were in Orange County for the inaugural OC Tweet Up.
The first OC TweetUp was hosted by @rockstarpr, aka Jonathan Good of Greenwala. 12 of us gathered to talk face to face about ‘What are you doing?’ I had a really good time at the event and met some savvy business...
