My take on why Twitter may be better than Google+ for sharing content

Submitted by Marc Drummond on

I love Google+. I have been trying it out for the past week. Lots of fun, easy to use. There is a ton of great potential here.

But is it a Facebook killer? Or even a Twitter killer?

The content I have seen people share on Google+ is in many ways similar to what I see on Facebook. Lots of fun videos, pictures, some status updates. The discussion and article sharing that does go on tends to be about Google+ itself. That makes sense: people are still figuring out how Google+ works. My guess is this will changes as people use it more.

Pin Twitter tabs for productivity with Firefox 4

Submitted by Marc Drummond on

Here’s a quick Twitter productivity tip in Firefox 4!

Firefox 4 allows you to pin web app tabs so they are always available right when you login. Once you are logged into a web app, just click and drag on the tab to the left side of your tabs. Now, instead of a big long tabs, you’ll have a nice snug tab with just the favicon appearing, rather than the page title.

This works well with Twitter, email web apps, whatever.

On tweeting notes at An Event Apart Minneapolis

Submitted by Marc Drummond on

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to attend An Event Apart for my first time. It was as mind-blowing an experience as possible. The opportunity to learn in person from many of the people who taught me web design through their books and their blog posts and their articles, well, it was an exceptional experience.
