ABC Tweets Twitter

Last night on ABC News with Charlie Gibson they did a piece on Twitter.com.  It was a pretty good piece but did they get it all wrong?  They marketed the whole twitter service as a customer service platform.  Yes it can be used as that since there are some companies that are responding to customer problems but I don’t think that 2% of the poople at using it that way.  You can check out the online video of the piece here.  It looks like ABC news doesn’t allow you to embed the video yet, sorry.  What do you think about the clip?

iPhone Apps

Even though I don’t have an iPhone I still am interested in creating iPhone Applications. I have a news website (swfl-news.com) that caters to Southwest Florida and I was missing out on the mobile market. This week I started to look at how to create a basic but functional iPhone Web App. Here are two sites that I thought I would share for people looking to get started.

  1. iPhone Web UI
  2. iPhone Tester

I will post my iPhone app when it is completed later this week.

It’s Coming just not Today

Sorry I haven’t posted in a while. I have been working on a site that I hoped to release today but has been pushed back a week so that I can round up some of the small bugs I have found. For a sneak peak check out swfl-news.com, southwestflorida-news.com or doswfl.comInternet Business‘s are such a great thing!

Free Advertising on Network News

NewsEver since watching the morning news I have noticed more personal advertisements in the foreground of the picture. These are usually the people standing and waving outside the windows holding signs for there web sites or businesses. On the Today show, and Fox and Friends you are more likely to see this since some of there shots are outside or you can see out side through the set. This is a brilliant form of advertising. Guerilla Marketing if that’s what you want to call it, gets the message out to millions of people and does it for free. Today PayPerPost.com people where advertising there site in the background. I wonder how many hits a site actually gets after being spotted in the background of network news show. I could use some of this advertisement for kapustabrothers.

Fox News has New Style, I Guess…

Fox NewsFoxnews.com has a new layout this morning, and it looks like the site is broken. I usually go to the site everyday at least once and enjoy seeing the red background. However, today when I went to the site I thought the (CSS) style sheet did not load. The site looks like it’s broke. The white background and the different shades of blue are nice, but the layout and placement of the stories make the site look like my bedroom (clothes all over the place). I think that Fox should return to there old style or redo the layout! Anyone with me on this?
