Mostly Lisa - Feb 2, 2008 looks pretty cool. i’ll def check it out. ooh, BBC world has a twitter? that might help me get better informed on the goings on of the world more than engadget…

If you don’t have much time to see what everyone is doing then twitter100 is a really interesting option. It allows you to see what up to 100 people you’re following are doing at that moment in time. It allows you to see who you’d like to respond to. It’s easy to use, all you need is your user name. As you see the layout is good when you don’t use the full 140 characters.

Rox - Feb 6, 2008 This accomplishment begs for a new type of institution to house it in but you are so deliciously un-institutional that I will simply say “Hurray!” Congrats on 15,000 tweets! I’m flattered that I was one of the contenders for the dedication. Maybe you can dedicate your 30,000th tweet to me :D Well done, Richard! Wow, I just found this. Thanks for thinking of me and sorry I’m getting here so late.

I was going to dedicate my 15,000th tweet to Maggieconv, AmandaGravel, Starrgazr, Shanzan and a few other twitter friends but Shanzan won the price. She said goodnight and as a result my 15,000th tweet was dedicated to her. If you’ve got any questions about how to use twitter just let me know and I should be able to help. I’ve been spending enough time on the site to give recommendations on how to use it as well as to it’s purpose.

From the 30th of January to the 1st of February 2008 the VideoForum event was held at Earl’s Court in London so that Television and video professionals may meet and talk in a number of conferences, seminars and tutorials as well as on stands. During this time I got to see what were the major trends in the video producing environment in London and England as a whole. Cameras Two Red Cameras were on the Showroom floor yesterday, one owned by Decodeuk and the other I am not sure about.

I went to the Social Media Coffee event this morning and met quite a few of the usual people including Deek, Sizemore, Londonfilmgeek and others. I got to know a few more twitter users a little better and that’s where I stayed for part of the morning. I’ve been networking a lot over the past few days and I think i need some time to think about all the new options.

Richard’s blog » The Social Media Morning - Feb 5, 2008 […] went to the Social Media Coffee event this morning and met quite a few of the usual people including Deek, Sizemore, Londonfilmgeek […] It’s a bizarre sensation - you get so used to it and then the morning Twitter is down you find yourself both supremely productive and wondering quite what to do. I’m trying to work out whether my reluctance to migrate to either Jaiku or Pownce is simply because Twitter is where my friends are, or because the interface is unfamiliar and slightly uncomfortable - like standing in a room you don’t really know.

Yet again Twitter is down for far longer than anticipated due to yet another server upgrade and I wonder about something. I can I recommend anyone use a service like twitter when it’s got such a poort uptime record. It’s not that complicated when you think of it as instant messaging so why all the downtime. I can’t help but feel there’s poor managment. I miss saying Good Morning to my World Wide audience.

The latest version of Seesmic was rolled out this evening during the Demo Presentation by Loic Lemeur and amongst it’s newest features are replies counters so that you can see how many people reacted, a latest tweet display and faster loading times for the pages. There is an active conversations tab in the lower right corner and the shows tab has been replaced by a replies tab. The site is far slicker and easier to use.

Chillout® is an open source implementation of the DMP DRM software. The idea is to create a multiplatform toolkit that allows for the easy managment of rights for media files. Built with Java it has several levels of rights managment for a number of files. This includes encrytion software and more. For a PDF document of what I saw today it’s available here.
