Comments in Friendfeed and Fav.or.it

Saturday, May 31st, 2008

From what I’ve read about Fav.or.it (if anyone has an invitation let me know!) you can write comments within the fav.or.it platform and they are written back to the blog itself. 

One of the things I like about Friendfeed is the commenting, but quite a lot of feedback and comment on Friendfeed will never be visible against the original media.  It would be good if Friendfeed did the same as Fav.or.it and wrote comments back to the source and attributed those comments to me.  Perhaps using a some sort of FF prefix - "Tom commented via Friendfeed:….".

This would be good for the end users as their comments would be more visible and attributed to them, and probably quite good for Friendfeed as comments on blogs, flickr etc. would spread the FF word. 

Dashwire - Mobile Synchronisation

Tuesday, April 1st, 2008

Spotted a nice new service over over on Jason Langridge’s Blog.  Dashwire syncs Windows Mobile (and soon Symbian apparently) phones and PDA’s with a web service. 

I’ve only just signed up but it looks pretty cool.  It runs a client on the device that syncs all your basic phone info (contacts, bookmarks, SMS’s etc) as well as integrating with services like Flickr and Facebook  for photos.  Interestingly it can also post status updates (and other Tweeting goodness) to Twitter.

The killer bit of functionality for me is the ability to Sync configuration from device to device.  I’ve not tested it yet, but I change my phone loads as I get to test out new toys devices for work, so this could save me loads of time.

Michael Dell on Social Media

Monday, February 11th, 2008

Shel Israel posted up a pretty good interview with Michael Dell about Social Media in Dell.  Dell seem to do a really good job at this, the various blogs and sites they use to connect to customers work well.  They’re certainly far ahead of most hardware vendors I’ve spoken to recently.  It’s good to see another big corporate really embracing the new way of doing things.
