Integration of 3rd party tools

Published July 29th, 2007 by Nate Frank in Category: internet services, project workflow

I was reading the book “Getting Real” from 37 signals and saw a quote from the guys that made campaign monitor. It seems like a really cool application.

Recently I find myself in the midst of the question build or buy when it comes to client apps.

Web 2 and identity.

Published July 17th, 2007 by Nate Frank in Category: internet services

There’s a ton of hype over social communities these days. It seems to only be getting a bigger bandwagon.

You’ve probably already have your flickr account.

Potentially have a youtube account.

Tom over at myspace has lots of friends, but is getting lonely now that you have a set of blogger, wordpress, movable type, typepad blogs.

The old .mac account is getting rusty, but thats ok. Its delicious to keep your bookmarks all in one place.

You’ve probaby digg‘d it before, and tag clouds are nothing new to you.

Get a pownce account, an instant messenger on crack (powered by Adobe AIR)

Publish a twitter stream of consciousness and let your friends know.

Its even possible that with wakoopa you are sharing what programs you are using down to the minute.

In an age where identity theft is such a high worry, it a wonder that so many people are volunteering information. I guess it might make sense to watch what information you volunteer.

Mini MXNA swf application and the mobile MXNA.

Published July 17th, 2007 by Nate Frank in Category: mobile

As a fan of MXNA and mobile technology I’m very curious to try out: minimxna. I’ll do a review next time I’m near some bluetooth and see how it rocks. MXNA or rather AXNA is pretty awesome and seems to perform pretty well when you think about how much work is happening to pull a bunch of information. When accessed via cell wireless without any images it still seems to be a hog.

Out of the 192 kb for a specific page of 10 results it seems to include 44 kb for both google analytics and omniture analytics. and only 64 kb of actuall html markup.

I was thinking man wouldn’t it be cool if there was a mobile version. Bam. It already exists. Thats awesome because I was using google rss for reading mxna on my phone. so much lighter. It weighs in at a massive 4kb. I can’t wait to get that hooked up as a phone bookmark.

I’ll update with more information on the two additional ways of accessing MXNA after I try them out.
