Spring comes and passes by with some interesting free-time projects.
Stelios and me started working on a simple thingy, just because. It’s called FancyCage and it’s fun.
If you’re curious about what-the-heck this is, just look around the landing page. There’s gotta be a comment hint somewhere!
You can subscribe and keep in contact with FancyCage by filling in your e-mail address in its brand-new landing page. Or just follow the #fancycage Twitter stream for real-time updates.
Keep posted for more!
I’ve expressed my heavy crush sex relationship love for Twitter before. Buzz and social media aside, it’s the only social thing that stays on during all my day, keeping me connected to interesting (or not) people, who have some nice (or not) things to share.
It’s only normal that I’ve tried a dozen of Twitter clients during those years, both for the Mac and the iPhone. I liked some, I loved a few, but I keep going back to my initial choice: Twitterrific, for both environments.
I really cannot get the whole fuss about feature-rich clients, to be frank. User lists and the whole hullaballo spoil big time the direct effect of Twitter I love so much. I suspect that people use lists to avoid the noise from particularly vocal Twitters, but if you never check someone’s tweets, why have him in the follow list anyway?
From time to time I go to un-follow sprees – but they’re short. I think my list now is noise-less enough and I intend to keep it that way. And I tweet mostly in afternoons and weekends, when I supposedly have more time to spare, I guess.
So my question is: How do you Twitter? What do you use? When do you tweet the most?
I’d be fascinated to learn about your tweeting schemes. Shoot me.
I’ll draw inspiration from Chris Coyier of css-tricks.com and a dear friend / partner in crime of mine, Yiannis Konstantakopoulos, for today.
Chris Coyier started a Twitter / blog meme, calling people to fill in the gaps in the phrase “CSS is like _______”.
Yiannis wrote an excellent, insightful post concerning all the hullaballoo on the social media field today in css3.gr.
I’ll combine them both and say:
Social Media Experts are _______.
It’s up to you to fill in the gaps.
My take is: Social Media Experts are talking about their work more than they actually work about it.
If you’re offended by this, OK, I add an “IMHO” in there. Or a “most”. As in, Most Social Media Experts are…
Feel free to add your thoughts, positive or negative.
