Best Twitter Clients
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?

Twitter?
Filed under News
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.

How much does it really cost to text message?
Filed under Tech Talk
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.
