04.11.08Seesmic gets new interfaceLoïc has just told Seesmic users that a new user interface is up at http://api.seesmic.com/home. Just tried it out, and it is looking very nice. It is much lighter than the current interface (both visually and in terms of performance), and while it is not quite finished yet (Loïc said this himself in his post), I think it is a step in the right direction. The current interface is a little dark and heavy in my opinion, and until the SeesmicAir client (the link seems to be broken right now) gets recording capabilities, it's the only way to ...

04.04.08Twhirl, Seesmic, hobbies and black swansThis one is for the people who often ask me, when I embark on another "for pleasure" project, "when are you going to do something that makes some money?". Well, how about this for an example: Marco Kaiser, a german developer, had his own little personal project called Twhirl. Twhirl is a Twitter client written for Adobe's AIR - I use it, and it's the best Twitter client there is. Who knows what motivated him to do it, he was probably a Twitter user frustrated by the state of current desktop clients, so the guy goes ou there and makes ...

09.27.07Pay It To Me: get stuff for free (if it works)…Pay It To Me is one of those odd ideas that just might work out. Conceived by some guy from Belgium (of course, given that they put mayonnaise on their French Fries, what can you expect from people like that), the idea is strange enough that it might actually work: people send pictures of stuff they want (anything) and their Paypal username to the site. The picture gets posted, and if an advertiser likes the idea, he/she pays you the amount of money your posted item costs. For that, they get a link to their site for 15 days, one ...

07.16.07Second round of mind-mapping reviews in the ovenSomeone has been reading my posts on Mind-Mapping tools! I have recently been contacted by the folks over at Comapping telling me about some new stuff they have released over there, and giving me access to a test account. I will check this out over the next few days and will post a review of the new features. Also, the people at Concept Draw have offered me a free license of their Mind Mapping product. Even though I had previously stated that my reviews would cover only software that can be used in some form for free, this is a ...

06.24.07About my absence…I'm not dead! The blog is not dead! I haven't been able to post anything for quite a while, but trust me, it's for a good reason... I don't want to get into too many details here, but I've managed to get a very nice contract, 24 months, for the largest deployment of a certain project management tool in Latin America. I can't tell details right now, because there are a couple of contractual non-disclosure clauses until the whole thing gets rolling, but for now I've been away from home and very busy for the last week or so. Please ...
