I’ve been using Brizzly almost exclusively as my twitter client lately on the desktop. It’s not perfect, but compared to twitter.com, I really enjoy the additional features and attention to detail that was put into it. One of the things I really like is the way they annotate the twitter trends. Twitter does this too – using What the Trend? to provide their descriptions. What’s cool about Brizzly is that it invites it’s users to help out:
I’ve found that I pay a lot more attention to Twitter trends this way. Twitter has become my go-to for what’s happening with the things I’m interested in. It’s most fun to check out during Yankees games these days – I hope that doesn’t change for a few more weeks! Go Yankees!
Also, for Twitter on the go, check out Tweetie 2, it’s awesome.
I’m a wine drinker so I was naturally curious to check out one of Gary Vaynerchuk’s new ventures: Cinderella Wine. The concept is simple, one wine is sold a day starting at midnight and the sale continues (often heavily discounted) until it’s sold out. One thing I really like about the site’s design is what happens when the wine sells out, the photo of the wine bottle is replaced by a pumpkin.
It fits the site’s namesake perfectly and adds an air of whimzy that I’d love to see a bit more of.
Well, this blog had a good run for a while. I was posting links to new music I was digging and then all of a sudden it ground to a screeching halt again. What gives? Well, things got a little hectic around here for a bit. We undertook a home renovation project, I started working on a new project at work among a few other things I won’t get into here. Most of this summer has been spent scurrying here and there in between the chaos.
But now that August rolls around, it’s time to slow things down a bit. Entourage is finally back on and it won’t be long before football kicks off and playoff baseball (Go Yankees!).
It’s a good time to reflect a bit. It’s also a good time to laugh at these awesome Dos Equis ads!
