I’m in the Twitterati!
Originally uploaded by inkedmn
So, along with my other blog (which some of you may have seen) being added to lifehacks.alltop.com, Mr. Guy Kawasaki saw fit to add me to what he’s dubbed “the Twitterati”. Based on the other Twitter users listed, it’s something of a who’s-who, I guess. Yeah, I don’t know why I’m there, either.
Anyway, pretty cool.
[Edit] Oh, you mean you guys want to actually see what I’m talking about?
Cool Family Photo
This picture was taken last Sunday at church, and it actually turned out pretty good (read: I don’t look like a complete tool - the rest of my family always looks great).
Easy Way to Track Twitter Replies on Your iPhone
So, I try to keep my friend-follower ratio on twitter at roughly 1:1. Occasionally somebody will follow me who follows the whole world (but whom nobody follows), and I follow a few “big names” who don’t follow me in return. Whatever.
But I still get some replies from folks who I don’t follow among the handful of total replies I receive. But I typically check twitter from my iPhone and the mobile version doesn’t have a “replies” tab like the regular web version. So, I got jiggy with it.
I grabbed the RSS feed for my replies page and created a feedburner feed. I plug the feed URL into Safari on my iPhone and, presto, it launches the built-in feed reader. Add a webclip bookmark to my homepage and I’m in freakin’ business.
The only caveat is that, when you create the feedburner feed, you need to pass in your twitter login credentials as part of the original feed URL. Like:
http://inkedmn:myPassWord@twitter.com/statuses/replies.rss
Otherwise it’ll bomb out when you try to create the feedburner feed.

So, We’re Back
Howdy! This blog used to be my one and only a couple of years back. Well, I’ve decided to bring it back from the dead.
There won’t be much of a “theme” for this blog, mostly just crap I feel like writing or sharing. Though, if you absolutely must have an idea of what types of topics I’ll be covering, here’s a partial list:
- Technology (probably software development, specifically)
- Social Media
- Parenting
- Anything else that pertains to me or what I’m interested in
So, that’s it. Hopefully you find this enjoyable, but it’s mostly just for me Stay tuned.
