in wrap-up

  1. On Dec 27th, Loic Le Meur wrote a blog post stating that We need twitter search by authority. Many twits were up in arms about this, as it seemed to infer that number of followers was directly related to the authority or influence of an individual. By 28th, however, his request came true, as a new service called Twitority sprang up. Just goes to show you that with his 15,484 followers, Le Meur may have some significant impact after all…
  2. Yet another example of how mobile advancements are happening everywhere but in North America, it appears a free mobile network for 16-24 year old Britons has sprung up. Blyk sends targeted messages to the youth, with a remarkable response rate of 25%!
  3. Near.ly is a service that sends you tweets of news stories and blog posts within 1000 feet of an address you provide. I love the idea of the proximity, although it is keyed not off your current location, but one you submit when you sign up.
  4. It appears that the requests for the iPhone to support cut and paste natively may never be satisfied. A new possible work-around is coming up: now iPhone users will be able to run Windows using a remote screen software, which will support cut and paste. Geez, I wonder if Loic Le Meur had asked for C&P, if we’d have it by now??
  5. And lastly, a totally gratuitous link. In my efforts to learn more about Facebook pages, I’ve set one up in association with my running blog, Go the Distance. I welcome visitors and fans!
