It is ok to be a Twitter - TweetUp August 7th

About two weeks ago I finally decided to sign up for a twitter account. So far, I must say I'm enjoying it quite a bit. I've met some interesting people and shared many a tweets. One person in particular, tw3ntyeight has really motivated me and my urge to get more involved in the tech community. His starting of the online Tweet-up, in an effort with jeffisageek, just might be the next great phenomenon. Well all right, that might be going a bit overboard but they are doing something quite interesting.

Ping.fm beta code - I finally got in!

Well folks, I finally got in! Ping.fm put up some fight but in the end I am the victor. Their clever and charming beta codes just kept sneaking by me. That is, until about 5 minutes ago. I am now a Ping.fm member and get to test out the ping.fm Drupal module.

Ping.fm is a one stop shop to post to all of your social networking sites. From twitter, to facebook and myspace, it pretty much does it all. Let's just hope the ping.fm Drupal module doesn't fail me and I can not only manage my socnet's from ping.fm, but also corydorning.net!

Crowdsourcing and the Cambrian House

Cambrian HouseAs a member of the Cambrian House (CH)—although not an extremely active one—I've found it to be quite an intriguing idea/concept. Without going to into detail about it, CH members submit ideas to the community and the community fleshes it out and decides if they think it is viable. If it is CH does whatever possible to provide the project with funding to make it a reality.
