The Many Uses of Twitter: Part 2

So, I've been telling Hunee I'd write this sequel for a week or so now, but I've been struggling over what deserves to be covered. I'm gonna lay out a few more tools for enhancing your Twitter experience.

Thanks to Twitter's open API, lots of great people have made lots of great tools for it. In part one I mentioned TweetStats, and the creator of that wonderful site, also has an excellent way to clear out your DM inbox. Make sure you show some love and follow @dacort for his excellent contributions to the way we use twitter.

Twitter Karma and My Tweeple are both excellent sites for managing your followers/followees. As you gain more followers, it becoms difficult to do this on the twitter site. These sites make it much easier.

Tweetbar is a cool little plug-in for FireFox that lets you tweet right from the address bar in your browser.

Lastly, take a look at Twittervision. It's a very cool little play thing that can show you where in the world all your favorite Twits are tweeting from.

One more thing. Do you have a good idea for a Twitter App? You can learn more about working with the Twitter API here.

I hope you've learned some things about Twitter today. Please, if I have left out any of your favorite tools or apps in this series of posts, let Hunee know, and maybe I'll be back ;)

Much Love.

My Own Track to Financial Freedom?

There are so many like me who wanted to retire young and I am one of those. First, I have tried to work so hard through multi-level marketing and I have succeeded but to see those new recruits of those you have recruited before earned nothing because the company closed down, and I did not liked the end effect. I started to have my own desktop publishing with one computer but because you were new you have to invest more money to get the business going. Then I brought business to home and simply do what I do best in the field. And because it is home based business now, earnings normally go straight to the table for food.

Even though everything has to end sadly, I was able to save a sum of money which I am going to use for another business venture. I am an official loan shark. It was a good start no doubt but somehow I have to stop it because loaners never paid me back. Yes, they still owe me money. Now, I am back working. An official 8 hour work were someone will tell me what to do. I am happy I got my ever first 8 hour job.

With the 2 years of working, my savings is not that much though but what I have learned the best about working is that I was able to learn that earning is not like a dream that when you wake up it is over. Earning is both patience and hard work. Unlike multi-level marketing, earning is like an overnight dream. I always like this phrase, "Pay now, Play later."

It somehow tells me to exert effort today and you will reap your fruits tomorrow. Nothing in life is worth having if you do not invest a drop of sweat on it. I am pretty diligent when it comes to savings, and if there would be extra activities I have got to think of an idea on how to earn extra for me to join and do my extra activities. I do hope I will do good on this one.

Dear Eddie,

Hi! Hope you are having a great day. I am writing this to you because I don't think I can go on with hiding anymore. I greatly appreciated the proposal and you are so sweet but it's not right. No matter how many times I tried to let it sink in my mind and in my heart that loving you back is right. The more I spend time with you, the more I am burying myself to pain that I know I couldn't not pull myself out when I have to. It has to stop. The only person who can stop this is me.

Goodbye, Eddie. See you around.

Latte Fiction Part 1

I'm sitting on this beautifully hand crafted piece of chair in a coffee shop with a cup of latte on this coffee table. Typical and usual days of hanging out with your laptop inside a coffee shop. It is a tropical country but people like my age would spend most time hanging out in a coffee shop than wander in a mall and do shopping.

It was a boring afternoon. I decided to log in to a chat room and maybe look for someone to talk to. Then I got one, buzzing my screen three times.

"Hi! ASL?", he asked.

"Hello! ASL?", I said.

"I asked you first, why would you not answer first?"

"Why? Is there such a rule on that? I'm sorry, when I got here I didn't get to read rules or whatever."

His name was Craig. Our first meeting was on a yahoo chat room. I don't like him at all. But later on, I seem to like his rudeness.

"I like that in a girl. You are a girl, right?"

"Why are you asking? You don't talk to guys?"

Craig was persistent. He never give up. And so I fell in love. It was a great 4 years together. Those were the times that I've got to learn to live a life online. I am the type that don't like to listen to people telling me things even if they are right. I just don't want to listen. I am a self confess brat.
