  • Spring.net interviewed Will Pate. Will cohosts CommandN a very popular video podcast with Amber Macarthur out of Toronto, Canada. He founded Raincity Studios which recently bought Bryte. Will “can’t talk” about some upcoming ventures, but he does talk broadly about his future direction.

    Spring.net did over 30 interviews at the Summermash Party in Austin at Buffalo Billiards on the night of July 30, 2008 and also videod the entire daytime Socialmedia Camp at the Thistle Cafe on West Sixth Street in Austin. The evening party featured an open bar, food, and a packed second floor. Brian Massey said “It took a bunch of people from San Franciso to round up some of Austin’s best bloggers and developers in one place.”

    We’ll be releasing the full 5 hour session of the Mashable Social Media Camp on one hour installments and we’ll also be releasing all of the 30 plus interviews over the next 2-3 weeks.

Social Network reviews - beginning of a spring.net series

Starting today, I’m going to start a series of reviews, accompanied by screencasts, of reviews of social networks, social bookmarking services and social media sites on the Spring.  You can see my initial list there which I’ll be modifying as this series goes along.

Listal is a social networking site where you can find people who share your tastes in movies, books, music or games.  Lists and collections are shared via a simple url like (in my case) http://springnet.listal.com and they give you widgets to plug in to your blog or website.

The site stands out for it’s tight integration of tagging, friends, finding others, forums and messaging.  The “explore” feature is hot, it lets you scan through reviews of movies, tv shows, books, games, dvds, and music.

my favorite twitterware apps

Twhirl - Twhirl is a popular desktop client based on Adobe AIR so it requires the AIR download. You’ll find AIR useful for other apps also. Twhirl has a lot of cool features including multiple Twitter accounts, connect to Friendfeed, post image to Twitpic, post to Pownce and Jaiku simultaneously, and search using Tweetscan. I use it on my Windows Vista sidebar along with . . .

AlertThingy! provides a connection to twitter, friendfeed, flickr, tinyurl and allows cross commenting. It’s better than it sounds and is used as a twitter replacement by many who want to make more sense out of twitter and narrow down their focus on specific people and topics.

Twitter Digest - This tool allows you to subscribe to a message stream from a Twitter user of a group of users on the web or through an atom feed.

Flaptor Twitter Search - A simple Twitter search engine which generates an rss feed. Also provides trends, comparisons.

del.icio.us twitter tags - what people are bookmarking about twitter lately

Twitter100 - Allocates a box to each of the people you follow on a single page and displays their latest tweets.

Quotably - Shows Twitter user’s conversations in a threaded conversational style making it easier to follow.

Tweetburner - Tweetburner lets you track what happens with the links you share on Twitter.

TwitterLocal - This shows you all the tweets on a google map from your local area and generates an RSS Feed of tweets.

let the good comments roll with diskus!

I have to admit to being a comment poor blog.  And I’m remiss in not putting akismet and disqus on here sooner.  Tonight akisment gave 32,000 plus spam comments a beating.  They’re gone.  Room now for your comments and disqus should make things a lot more interesting.

I got turned on to the disqus comment system by Shey Smith on his most excellent blog, http://sheysmith.com and got really motivated to install it when I heard Leo Laporte and Amber Macarthur rolling in the aisles over this on their net@nite podcast broadcast live today.  It helped push me more that Dave Winer, grandaddy of rss and blogs, is using this as well.

Disqus brings video comments, along with a community of commenters, better comment formatting, and much more.  And the wordpress plugin install was as easy as could be.

Shey Smiths blog really rocks

I stumbled across this blog on my friendfeed account a few days ago and it’s been a daily read ever since.

It’s http://sheysmith.com

Today he’s talking about tomorrow’s twit out and friendfeed and social networking.  He’s doing an amazing job on this blog and it’s become a daily read.

And he turned me on to disqus!

Disqus was the topic on today’s net@nite with Amber and Leo and at first glance it’s something you don’t need, as Leo observed.  But, on closer examination, it’s a great comment system for blogs that integrates video and ties comments in to social networks.     And best of all, it connects you to a community of blog commentors like Shey Smith.
