If you get a direct message from one of your followers pointing you to a blogspot post where you “did something funny” I would advise not clicking it. I have gotten 3 of these so far and they redirect to a twitter fishing page. Much like the myspace facebook and msn ones that I have seen going around lately.

A good rule of thumb. If the domain is not the site you are going to i.e. its twitter.somerandomsite.randomdomain.h4×0ru.com and not twitter.com. Then dont put your login info in

Oh how far we have come since 2006. I never was sure what to do with TMS when I first bought it. I have had Joomla PHP Nuke SMF and about every other thing you could imagine. It was even a clan site at one time. But on November 11th 2007 I decided to give wordpress a try. Since then we have made 199 posts [not including this one] and gotten a ton of views to the site. Currently we get around 5000 8000 unique views per month. Not to bad ;). I know it does not come close to competing with those bigger guys [engadget lifehacker gizmodo..ect..ect] but for being [mostly] ad free and ran by 2 people [well mostly just myself now days] it seems we are doing just fine. If you read the blog often you will notice that there has been 1 blog post per day for a while now. Well my hope is to keep that going and maybe even make it more than 1 post per day this year! I realize that it sometimes sucks but hey no one else is stepping up to help out :P. Anyway I hope you guys have enjoyed it so far and I hope to bring the modding goodness to you all for years to come!

Well this sucks. I didnt receive any comments that followed the guidelines for the giveaway.

That means for now the stuff will just go back into the modder vault and will be given away at a later date.

Oh well guys. We will try again later

-P.s HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Yup you seen that right. At 11:59:59 pm December 31st 2008 there will be one second added to the clock. This is to make up for the slowing in the earths rotation. So keep that in mind when you are counting down to the new year and dont be a second to early!

Ok so following up on yesterdays post I am going to go ahead and give my opinion on the best twitter clients. Because if it was not for these I would not even use twitter because its a pain in the ass to go log into there site and everything.

Windows: Twitterfox.

This is a firefox extension that does a great job of updating twitter status and it will show you all your unread tweets that can be updated every 3 or 5 minutes. I use it fo 90% of my updates

Windows Mobile: PocketTwit.

This is a great little program. I tested quite a few for windows mobile when I finally came to this one and it does everything I could want it to do. It will update status, upload a picture to twitpic and post that to twitter and a few other nice things. Its also got a kick ass interface.

Other Mobile Platform: 40404.

Default twitter thing. But if you set it up correctly then you can just text updates and have them posted to your twitter account.

WordPress: TwitterTools.

Yes even wordpress has a plugin for twitter. Notice it to the right –>

Its called twitter tools. It will post new blogs to my twitter and post my tweets to the blog simple and easy to use. Lots of options

I realse there are other platforms out there however I have not gotten to test them all becuase I dont have the ability to. So what do you think is the best twitter client?

For the past few months I have been a twitterholic. I post on twitter all the time and watch my followers also. Its great when im mobile and take a picture and am able to updte my twitter stats with that. If anyone out there has twitter and wants to follow me I follow all who follow me. If you dont have twitter yet then I suggest getting it.

I have a unlimited texting plan on all 3 of the cell phones that are with my contact on t-mobile. It costs like $30/month. For that I do get a fair bit of usage. On a good day I can send 1000 texts or more. [I text a lot ;)]. But have you ever wondered how much it costs for your service provider to process those texts? A lot less than they charge you thats for sure. The New York Times has a article about this and I suggest anyone paying that premium take a look at it.
