Twitter provides an excellent search engine but the problem is that Twitter Search is pretty useless for ego surfing - that’s because all hyperlinks on Twitter are in the form of short URLs so you’ll never know if that TinyURL link is pointing to you or someone else’s blog.
If you use blogs, FriendFeed or Twitter to monitor buzz around your favorite topics (say iPhone launch) - do check out Spy.
Spy looks for conversations happening on Twitter and FriendFeed around any search topic and presents them in an auto-refreshing vertical timeline.
Arrington has a brilliant idea - an Internet Tablet that’s thin like the MacBook Air and sports a touch sensitive screen like the iPhone or iPod Touch. Good luck.
Something for WordPress bloggers who also have an iPhone.
The WordPress App for iPhone is now live on the iPhone App store. Download it here for free (requires iTunes). This iPhone app supports WordPress.com hosted blogs as well as self-installed WordPress blogs (version 2.5.1 & above).
The WordPress tips and few hacks mentioned below may only apply to a self-hosted installation of WordPress version 2.6 or above.
*If your WordPress blog is hosted on wordpress.com, please skip this.
GoodSync is an easy-to-use Windows utility to help you keep files and folders, spread across different places, in sync with each other.
The software may be used to sync files between multiple computers, removable drives, USB sticks and even remote FTP sites.
Google will end their AdSense Referrals program next month - this will even apply to software programs like Firefox and the Google Pack that convert fairly well on technology & software related websites.
If you are looking for alternatives to AdSense Referrals, try Microsoft Affiliate. This is much like the AdSense Referrals program though limited to two products - Windows Live Toolbar and OneCare, an anti-virus software from Microsoft.
When you perform a web search on mobile phone using Google SMS, the SMS text message you get back from Google has two parts - web search results and a short URL that redirects to the relevant Google search page.
For instance, Google sent an SMS message with this short URL - m.google.com/u/xva9Ot - for a search query like "Global Warming."
