Sick of Twitter? Start Powncing

Friday, May 30th, 2008

Twitter has been plagued with a number of failures over the last few weeks. It’s down more than it’s up, which has many people looking for a better way to get their voices heard. Viable solution?

Switch to Pownce. It allows you to post more than 140 characters. You can also do multimedia posts. If you are on the website itself, you are able to view videos and listen to songs right there. You are able to download songs and pictures straight from the Pownce site, where others have posted them. You also have the traditional linkage available on Twitter. Pownce has a downloadable interface so that you can Pownce from your computer’s desktop, too.

There is much more, but you have to join up to see it all.

A friend of mine (Owen) has collaborated with FreshPress Themes to create the most adorable Wordpress theme I have seen in a while. It’s all based off of the famous social networking site Twitter. The theme is called Fresh Tweet. It looks JUST like the basic Twitter profile, but it’s a blog! There is also a page where you can have people leave you random thoughts. How cool is that? Check out the full demo at Fresh Press Themes.

Trojans attack!

Saturday, May 17th, 2008
Last night we got attacked by an overly aggressive Trojan virus. Thankfully, we were able to download Avast and get it taken care of pretty quickly. I am so happy that there are free virus scans that are ridiculously good at what they do. Avast got into the files and fixed it all before the computer reloaded Windows. Thanks Avast!
