IMified

I’m writing this blog post from my jabber client (Psi, of course) using a new tool called IMified (http://imified.com). I’m pretty impressed so far with the simplicity. It’s funny though, my buddy Fritzy had this idea a few years ago and he started implementing it with his Edgar bot (oops, his main website’s still down from a HD crash, here’s another link: http://forum.psi-im.org/thread/778,2). Edgar did reminders and notifications and all sorts of cool stuff. Fritzy was truly ahead of his time. Oh well.

Jaiku & Twitter

I’ve been hearing a lot about these two tools lately from the TWiT (http://twit.tv) and Buzz Out Loud (http://bol.cnet.com) podcasts but I hadn’t bothered checking them out before. I went ahead and created a Jaiku account (http://halr9000.jaiku.com/) and put a few of my feeds into its “stream” like flickr, last.fm, my blog, etc. We’ll see if I continue to bother updating the mini-blog aspect of it, but my other feeds will automatically put stuff in here. Don’t know if I’ll use this for anything.

Oops, got an XML error when I tried to post. Strike one, IMified!
