TweetDeck, The Next Step In My Twitter Addiction

Jul 4 by Michael Benner

TweetDeck has entered public beta (link at the bottom) and you should run out and get it ASAP.

I have become addicted to Twitter. TwitterCFC (by Andy Jarrett), Twhirl, Twinkle and now TweetDeck. I use TwitterCFC for several Coldfusion projects and thought about building an air client, but I have no need. Iain Dodsworth has built TweetDeck that meets and exceeds my expectations for overall feature set.

I have started using Twitter for light messaging on our Intranet.

May, The Craziest Month of the Year

May 15 by Michael Benner

You may have noticed that my posts have been light lately. Well let me say, May needs more than 31 days.

Yup, I usually just take this month off, but this year the community has several exciting things going on. Here are a few things I am currently playing with.

The AIR Demo Promised

Apr 3 by Michael Benner

OK, so the new site (http://www.bennr.com) is not going as smoothly as hoped, so I moved the article and app here.

My wife has finally threatened to leave me for another developer if I don't get her site finished, oh yeah, and it has to be the "COOLEST" site ever...Well, damn, I am a keyboard cowboy who doesn't have the slightest flair for design (have you seen this site), and

Where Did That Menu Go?
