Er zijn genoeg gratis Twitter-applicaties in de App Store te vinden, maar zelf kom ik altijd weer terug bij Tweetie, een applicatie van €2,39 die snel en simpel is. Er is een update van Tweetie in de maak die zeer binnenkort in de App Store kan verschijnen. Tweetie wordt gemaakt door een zelfstandige ontwikkelaar, Loren Brichter, die in z’n eentje acht betaversies van Tweetie 2.0 voor de iPhone heeft uitgebracht en tussendoor ook nog even een (Mac OS X-)desktopversie van Tweetie heeft gelanceerd. Loren maakte tien maanden geleden de applicatie Tweetie, omdat hij niet tevreden was met de Twitter-clients die op dat moment voor de iPhone beschikbaar waren. Zelf had hij geen idee dat de app zo succesvol zou worden. Bijna een jaar later is het tijd voor Tweetie 2.0, die de volgende verbeteringen zal bevatten. Tweetie 2.0 is compleet nieuw geprogrammeerd en is alleen geschikt voor iPhone OS 3.0 en Read More

Much like a migratory bird is genetically driven to fly south for the winter, I am driven to bloviate online. And so over the years I’ve accumulated my fair share of blogging accounts. I’m very active on Twitter, have a WordPress blog, a Flickr account, Facebook, and a rarely-used LiveJournal account. Keeping them all updated is frustrating, though. I’ve ended up just posting to WordPress and using the Twittertools plug-in to feed the post to Twitter (which also feeds into Facebook). It’s not elegant, but it works. I’ve said before that my iPhone is the command center for my life, and at the same time noted that there’s no real end-to-end solution that will let me blog across all services on the iPhone. The full-featured WordPress site is unbearable, and the iPhone app for the same just doesn’t cut it. I can use the drafts method to get an article off Read More

Tell us a little about you, and your current company. I am Dad of a gorgeous little girl, and our second child is due soon! I started Toopia five years ago, offering webdesign and application development services for a number of companies and agencies. Toopia is a one-man company, yet I work closely together with many other professionals to be able to offer a complete package to our customers. My specialty is the technical realization in Ruby on Rails and XHTML/CSS. Together with marketing partner Hugo Lingeman I developed a super simple Content Management System, which is meant for users that have little or none computer experience, or ‘fear of computers’ altogether. We love the response that we get to that: “Well yes, if it is that simple, I can do it, too.” About your background: What did you do before taking up iPhone development?  The iPhone application development is a Read More

Many of you may have noticed that your Tweeties, Twittelators, and Twitterrifics just weren’t working properly this morning.  Well, it wasn’t just you.  Twitter has confirmed via their blog that they have been hit by a denial-of-service attack, rendering the site unavailable for a couple of hours. Denial-of-service attacks come in many shapes and sizes, but the general idea is to prevent a high-profile sites or services from working properly, and in this case that site is Twitter.  Twitter is back up and running as we speak, and the company has stated that they intend to continue to defend against the attacks and later investigate the cause. According to CNN, this attack is not related to the recent incident where a hacker stole internal documents from the site. Keep watching the Twitter blogfor more updates and details.  Hang in their tweeps! Read More

Meine persönliche Technik-Aufstellung hat sich durch iPhone OS 3.0 im letzten Monat erheblich verändert. An dieser Stelle ein persönlicher Überblick auf meinen sich synchronisierten Abgleich zwischen Desktop OS und iPhone für alles was sich ‘Nachrichten’ schimpft. NetNewsWire in seiner aktuellsten Beta 3.2b11 liefert 235 RSS-Feeds ins Haus. Die neue Synchronisation mit dem Google Reader schlug beim ersten Versuch gleich einmal ordentlich fehl und ersetzte mir alle lokalen Feeds durch die fünf – auf Google eingetragenen – Blog-Abos. Das hatte seine Vorteile, weil dadurch ein unverhoffter Sommerputz ins Haus stand. Von 350 Weblog-Abos des Backups, konnte ich auf die besagten 235 einzelnen Seiten herunterkürzen. Diesmal gab es kein Erbarmen und alle RSS-Feeds ohne Volltext, die rigoros einen Abgang machten. Die Anordnung fällt mit 13 Hauptordner übersichtlich aus. Der Google Reader unterstützt derzeit keine Unterordner, weshalb ich mich neben beliebten Kategorien wie ‘Kultur’ oder ‘Tech’ noch zu einer ‘A-List’-Einordnung für meine wichtigsten News-Quellen Read More
