next hellotwitface update

April 22nd, 2008

Another hard night of geeking out and I’m almost there. There are a few ui changes to make and I still have to work out how to create a cab that doesn’t overwrite all files but its getting there.

The new version has a nice new twitter tab.

HelloTwitFace update

April 17th, 2008

I’m planning on updating HelloTwitFace at the weekend, probably late on Saturday with new feature I’ve been working on.  I’m going to move the twitter tab away from simply using http://m.twitter.com to using the twitteroo 1.4 API to build my own twitter stream.  I’m planning on including an interesting feature in that too.  The option to keep the mobile page will be there still too.

For now, as they’ve been requested and I need to upload them, here are two screenshots.

HelloTwitFace launch

April 12th, 2008

I’ve just spent this evening on a bit of a GeekOut quest.  I’ve just put the finishing touches on HelloTwitFace.  It’s a really simple app that combines three of my favourite mobile sites, hellotxt, twitter and facebook.

I think this is the first app to include hellotxt in any way, let me know on that one.

It’s a very simple Windows Mobile app that draws the mobile versions of the above into a tabbed environment and uses hellotxt to do the updates.  I’ve been using it for a week and it seems to work really well.  I’ve also built in MoDaCo AppToDate support and it works just great!

Now to tell people about it!  Oh and sorry about the rubbish Icon!

Scoble gets in on the FriendFeed action

March 31st, 2008

If you don’t know who Robert Scoble is then you really aren’t listening are you?  Robert Scoble, or the Scobleizer, gets involved in all that’s new and cool on the Web.  Today he’s been over to see the folks at FriendFeed and has announced on his blog that he’ll be redesigning it to revolve around his feed.

FriendFeed, if you don’t know, is a social aggregator…what’s that?  Well these days we use loads of “social” channels share our information.  I for example use this blog, Facebook, twitter, del.icio.us and Google Reader to share with people, you can see my friendfeed here.  So if you want to know what I’m interested in and doing you need to look at all of those to get the picture…if you care.

Scoble has started to use twitter a whole lot more, and he’s doing the same thing as me, short things get a tweet (that’s a twitter message), long things – like this get a post, other items become a shared reader item, and websites get a del.icio.us tag.

I’m going to take the lead from the Scoble and syndicate my FriendFeed through my blog.  Why not.

Just read on the hellotxt blog that they don’t require coupon codes now for the mobile version, m.hellotxt.com.  Great news, great tool.
