Not relating to anything to else that I have posted here in the last few days days. Honest!
I was working on the film transfer edit and was wondering if I had a happy birthday song. Instead of looking for that, I only searched for happy. The results are above.
Then Josh replied that he only had 7, and I got a reply on Facebook that only had 5.
I thought this could be a fun little game we could play. How much happy is in your music? Mac users, bust out skitch and make a fun badge, like this.
Come on, let us know!
I had an odd week in which I did a lot of work but did not make a lot of money.
I’m now a consultant?
More than a few times in the last couple of weeks I have been asked questions or have had to direct someone in one of the following.
- Blogs and getting one started
- Social Networking
- Online promotion
I’ve never given it much thought, but I guess I do have a little skill in doing those things. Sure, this blog isn’t that popular, but the other one is and I know what it takes to keep the readers interested and coming back. So there is that.
I did build a podcast from scratch to having over 3k listeners. Not entirely on my own, but I was part of the team that made it happen.
But I’ve never been huge on Social Networking above and beyond Twitter, but I know how it all works and I’m starting to play more on the Facebook and other things.
So, I guess I could consult on these. Too bad I didn’t make any money with the knowledge these times, but there is a really good chance that will change in the very near future.
Most of you have already friend’d me up on twitter and facebook, but if you haven’t, use the links on the right. I always follow back unless you are a spammer, so get to it!
And while I was gone, in case you missed it, the new Delicious rolled out, as did the new Facebook. Neat, both counts.
While I sleep to prepare to close out MTTS with photos and posts, watch this.
More MTTS to come.
We can say I had some time on my hands this week. So, I got to play with some things.
New things for the week
A recap of all the things I’ve been trying/using this week, in case you missed any of them.
FriendFeed. I think it’s handy. 1 stop shopping for all my stuff, plus you can comment on things there (if you are subscribed). They added a new feature this week called Rooms that looks promising. It’s like a message board, kinda. Slightly less obnoxious and slightly easier to follow.
Facebook. For reasons passing understanding I started playing with Facebook again this week. It helped pass the time.
Viddler. Still using it. Still the best video service I’ve used. Bonus is a few new features they have rolled out lately. Subscriptions and RSS feeds. Handy stuff to have.
IShowU and Skitch. IShowU captures your screen as a video, handy for the new project and it works quite nice. And it’s cheap. As for Skitch, I finally found a use for it and it’s been super handy. It’s so handy in fact that, when it comes out of Beta, I would gladly opt for a paid version if one is available. Within reason, of course.
Fluid. I tried this before when it first came out and I thought it had potential. At the time, it worked not well enough to use on a daily basis. It’s been revised, fixed, revised and fixed again and seems to be working quite well for GMail. I might use it for a few other things, but I’m not quite sure yet. I’ll keep you posted.
If you are looking for me on Facebook, Viddler or FriendFeed, follow the links in the sidebar. If you are trying to figure out why you can’t use Fluid on your PC, now would be a good time to think about making the switch.
Busy week coming up. I certainly hope it goes smoothly. That would be keen. Oh yea, if Josh says anything to you about eating BBQ Penguin, just nod and smile. He does get a bit delusional at times (remember the Snobo Monkey’s from ‘01?). It’s all that fancy scotch he’s been drinking with his mates.
