THIS BLOG: Twitters added to sidebar.
Posted by Claire CJS under Clio, Internet, People, Technology, TwitterLeave a Comment
I’ve added a sidebar to include my last 10 twitters, so that non-twitter-using, non-facebook-using readers who visit my blog’s URL can still enjoy my micro-blogs by simply looking to the right.

SOCIAL NETWORKING: Twitter, Facebook, and RSS — duh!
Posted by Claire CJS under Clio, Internet, People, RSS, Technology, TwitterLeave a Comment
Duh! I never RSS-subscribed to my friends’ facebook status updates! That’s one of the more obvious feeds that I should have subscribed to a long time ago!
Now that I’ve added the the TwitterSync Facebook application, my twitter statuses are automatically updated to Facebook. So now everyone can on Facebook see what I’m doing, even if I never go there. It makes sense to get the opposite – to get everyone else’s updates without ever having to go there. Frankly, I was surprised Facebook had an RSS feed for that. I thought these companies rarely did anything to keep you from having to login over and over (which I hate), so I’m happy.

SCRIPTS: twitter.bat (also: OH HAI … I HAZ A TWITR)
Posted by Claire CJS under Clio, Computer, Internet, Journal, Software, Technology, Twitter[10] Comments
So I’ve decided to start micro-blogging, after seeing that several friends have been using twitter for some time.
Friends, feel free to go here and friend me at Twitter.com. You can also RSS subscribe to my twitterings HERE, though I think it’s easier to simply set up a Twitter account, friend people, and subscribe to the generic feed for all your friends’ twitters (much like flickr’s generic feed for all your friends’ new photos). It’s less work in the long run. Of course, if you already subscribe to Clint And Carolyn’s Managed RSS Feed, do nothing — our twitter feeds have been added to our aggregate feed. Yahoo Pipes rules! And if you are on facebook — I’ve installed the TwitterSync application, so my Facebook Status will now be set via twittering! So my twitterings wont just be enjoyed by those on Twitter! If you use TwitterSync and I am your Facebook friend, I will stop following you on Twitter so I don’t see everything twice.
So anyway, this is a twitter.bat that I wrote, to easily twitter from the command-line. It is designed for married geek couples, supporting multiple users. It is made for the 4NT command-line intepreter, but might work under command.com. I’ve also included my LiveJournal Twitter Crosspost script (LJtwitter.pl). Get the code for these below
