The Harry Potter Series has become a cultural icon of our generation so it would only be fitting for J.K. Rowling to be trending at Twitter!

Saw the interview of Oprah with J.K. and her account of life as a solo parent made me cry so much, relating to her experiences. I dedicated a blog post about J.K.'s influence on my life.

What's #humblebrag?

2012-02-08T00:19:00.000-08:00

http://www.flickr.com/photos/67848582@N04/

Surfing around Twitter, I got curious on the tweet of Jon Favreau about #humblebrag:

Jon_Favreau Jon Favreau

How do I mention I was a question on Jeopardy tonite without committing a #humblebrag?

Not tweeting a long time, I had to look up what it meant and found a definition at Urban Dictionary:

1.	Humble Brag
	A form self promotion where the promoter thinks he is, almost subliminally, bragging about himself in the context of a humble statement or complaint. Everyone listening thinks he a jackass. I am exhausted from my two week vacation to Hawaii. I need a vacation.
2.	Humble Brag
	When you, usually consciously, try to get away with bragging about yourself by couching it in a phony show of humility. "Your inflatable inner-tube is way cooler than my 80-foot yacht. You get to be so much closer to the water and to nature. I envy you, I really do"

Funny :D

How to Share a Song You're Listening to on Twitter

2010-05-27T07:41:00.000-07:00

http://www.flickr.com/photos/f_mafra/

After listening to Sage Francis' Waterline, thought of sharing this via twitter but turns out had no idea how! So I googled twitter applications and came across mashable.com which listed a gazillion ways to share your music on twitter!

I particularly liked tinysong.com due to its user-friendly interface and extensive array of artists and songs. From the mashable.com article, it explains:

"Tinysong is a very basic URL shortener for music powered by P2P music sharing service Grooveshark. On the plus side, that means it has a huge library of songs to draw from, but it also isn’t very tightly integrated with Twitter. Tinysong is dead simple: search for songs, find the one you want, get a shortened URL pointing toward that track. Actually sharing it on Twitter is up to you. Tinysong has an API, meaning that developers could easily integrate it into their applications."

Check out the article here for the complete list and how-tos.

The History of Twitter

2010-05-24T20:00:00.000-07:00

Having been a reborn twitterer, found this interesting article by Julie Kerr about the history of Twitter:

The History of Twitter

By Julie M Kerr

Article Word Count: 535 [View Summary] Comments (0)

Twitter came onto the internet marketing scene in 2007 primarily. With its never before seen unique spin on advertising and keeping in touch with friends, it has become a popular tool to use. Most people who use twitter are using it daily, several times a day in fact. The basic structure of Twitter is in the term, micro-blogging. Micro-blogging is a form of multimedia blogging that allows users to send brief text updates or micro-media such as photos or audio clips and videos. Twitter is a site with one specific question, "What are you doing?", users tend to answer this question in hundreds of thousands of ways and send a 140 character long message out to all the people who follow their tweets. Its that simple, you just share messages, read others, and send yours.

Twitter was founded in March 2006 by Jack Dorsey, Evan Williams, and Biz Stone. The real history surrounding the way Twitter was developed is more so due to Jack Dorsey and his career path through the years. Jack worked as a software developer, developing software for courier services and took notice to how, as the different businesses used the software and the main office could keep track of their various delivery or service vehicles, essentially, the employees were just reporting back what they were doing at that time. Nevertheless, it kept the dispatch office in constant contact with the drivers, which is a big deal as far as efficiency is concerned. Basically, what Twitter has become is a mixture of 3 different things.

· Jack's Dispatch Software
· Instant Messaging
· Text messaging

With the coupling of these three elements of real time messages being sent, many things are possible. News tends to spread like wildfire on Twitter, friends are able to spawn a get-together in seconds, and marketers are able to instantly share their new ideas or ventures with every single one of their potential or current customers. To many this does not show value and at times Twitter comes under a bit of criticism. Truthfully, Twitter is a very useful tool, provided that you have contacts which either care what you have to say or can benefit from receiving information from you. For marketers, the service is generally used to broadcast URL's to their various pages, products, and services which can be a tedious task.

Many people have since developed different applications meant to manage the features of Twitter and automate the process which aids in managing one's time spent tweeting. These applications can be used for many different tasks on Twitter usually called "grunt work" if you are a marketer. Some features you will need are, unlimited account creation, management of all your accounts with the click of a button, auto-follow by targeted keywords/username/own followers, auto-unfollow of those who do not choose to follow you, auto-tweets through multiple accounts, direct messages to all followers, automatic reporting of Twitter trends to you per category, and some can even let you operate your Twitter accounts anonymously through a proxy IP address. Sadly though, most Twitter applications and management tools cannot do all of the above and very few can deliver an all in one solution to all your Twitter needs.

If your aim is set on driving traffic to your website using Twitter, the only program capable of all the above tasks, that I know of, is Smash Tweet. Try it out today! Julie Kerr can help you make $500 to $5000 per month from home. Twitter is a great opportunity for anybody who wants that sorely needed second income. Julie Kerr's Twitter Marketing Software can help you bring enough traffic to your website and generate laser targeted leads. Check out Smash Tweet - Ultimate Twitter Marketing Software.

Of 00100, ♥, robgasm, jejemons and what not...

2010-05-20T22:47:00.000-07:00

@PCOSmachine taught me a new sms word yesterday, when he got p*d off with Congressman Locsin at the Congressional Poll Hearing: 00100.

After several attempts to trying to crack the code ala-Robert Langdon, finally found the meaning through the Urban Dictionary: 00100 means giving out the finger via SMS or at a chat room! I suddenly felt old! With all these jejemons uttering jejenese, what other cyber-language am i not aware of?

robgasm---(noun): what happens whe by looking at a picture of Robert Pattinson.
<(-.-)> --- Yoda the Jedi master
;.............................( --- crying face
mom mom ---- a grandmother (probably derived from Tagalog: nanay ng nanay mo hehehe)
/\/3\/\/8 --- "newbie"

So, hot today at Twitter is Star Wars Day. I was about to google facts behind this pop-culture holiday when I read this note from Twitter:

"May 4th is Star Wars Day. This is a pun of a quote from the movie: "May the force [4th] be with you."

Duh.

Anyway...Happy Star Wars Day!
