TwitrPix Alpha Launch

// April 20th, 2009 // 1 Comment » // Technology, TwitrPix

It’s always to a good feeling to come out of the weekend being productive. Cando just quietly launched the alpha version of TwitrPix after 4 glorious days just in time for my 2nd wedding anniversay. I don’t quite think my wife would appreciate me if I was stuck at a computer trying to wrap things up. There’s a lot of new features we are already developing, unfortunately we can’t say what they are. However, look for 1-2 new features each week for the next few weeks as we ramp things up a bit. As with all of our projects, we value your opinion so let us know if there are specific features you would like to see in TwitrPix!

A Twitter Grid of Your Tweeps

// March 16th, 2009 // No Comments » // Technology

A week ago we were deciding on putting together a blog as the culmination of our experience in new media. One thing we wanted to do, but couldn’t find an easy way was to put our Twitter followers in our side bar of a yet to be determined blog. Tasked with that challenge, we built TwitrGrid during lunch on a Friday afternoon. While still in its infancy, it allows Twitter users to create a grid of their “followers” or those they are “following” in about 10 seconds. Copy/paste a single line of code into your blog, social profile or personal site and you’re set. The mosaic grid will automatically update periodically so there’s nothing a user will need to do.

On Twitter with a blog? Try TwitrGrid. Feel free to follow the project at @TwitrGrid for any updates.

EDIT: We’ve been added to Twitdom – a great collection of apps built around Twitter.

Twitter Feature or Future Ads?

// March 16th, 2009 // No Comments » // Technology

Twitter seems to have launched a possible new feature a few moments ago for a number of users, perhaps part of a larger rollout.  Added unobtrusively into the right side bar is a small panel that appears to rotate between a plug for Twitter Search and Twitter Widgets.

As Twitter has yet to have a formal method of generating revenue, perhaps this is part of a larger ad system they are testing. However, with the number of Twitter-based apps in the wild and in development, there is less of a need to actually Tweet from the site. Could this possibly affect ad sales?
