The latest TaskFlo.ws post is all about HelTweetica: a rather simple, yet nicely made Twitter app for the iPad.
At first, this free application may look like it hasn’t got much to offer compared to many of the other apps available –but I find it excels in its simplicity and reliability. This is unless, of course, I am the only one that suffers from most other Twitter iPad apps crashing every now and then… (*cough* TweetDeck).
Or you could use Formspring, a web site dedicated to questions and answers.
Just as the Internet continues to fill with “sharing/social-type” web sites, anyone thinking of launching a new service must make it stand out in some particular way –or it will succumb to the social powerhouses of today: Facebook and Twitter.
This is an iPhone application for reading the RSS feeds in your Google Reader that truly takes aesthetics, user experience and interaction design to a new level. It made it desirable for me to read blog posts in a small screen.
Not too long, the Swiss developers behind this excellent application released “Reeder for iPad”. The result? Another sleek product that is truly rewarding to use.
I like it so much that I’ve dedicated the latest Taskflo.ws post to it –with photos and a video to go along!
Exactly a week ago, I traveled to New York City with the sole purpose of seeing Massive Attack in concert. I had seen most of their performance during the Coachella music festival in 2006, so I knew this show was worth the price I paid for the ticket + the price of the AirTran flight that I took + any other incurred expense.
Here’s a collection of some of the best photos I took during the show:
I had read nothing but great reviews about Tumblr before. From the engaging flow of the sign up process to how easy it was to share just about anything. I knew about it for a while, but never really bothered to try it out.
Some time ago, when I created TaskFlo.ws I was set on the idea of using WordPress –much in the same way I use it to write what you are reading here. Taskflo.ws is intended to be a blog that is updated somewhat regularly, unlike this one. Unfortunately, with WordPress: more post = more spam. There are ways to prevent the industrial amounts of spam that fill my email inbox just about every day, but I simply can’t be bothered looking for more filters and plugins to add.
Then, one day I read a what seems to be John Mayer‘s last Twitter update, in which he explains that he was quitting Twitter and joining Tumblr –mainly because he reckons “Twitter’s dying” and sees value in being able to write his “thoughtful” thoughts in more than 140 characters.
Now that I’m finally done selecting and editing photos from the trip to Portugal that Willie and I took last December, I thought I would make sure to offer another “avenue” to the repository of videos that we made during our lucitan journey.
You can watch all the rest of our (not-as-windy-as-the-one-above) videos after the jump.
For as long as it has been out and available, I’ve wanted a Nokia N900. See for yourself why.
After nearly 2 months with it, I have gathered enough conclusions related to why I got it in the first place, what I liked about it, what I didn’t –and yes, why I decided to part ways with it.
At last, the final Flickr set of my trip to Portugal with Willie last December has been evaluated, shortlisted, apertured and uploaded for your viewing pleasure.
Coimbra is a city we decided to visit on our way back to Lisboa from Porto. It’s a beautiful place that hosts one of the best universities in Europe, which happens to be on the highest hill of the city. In the set, you can see various photos of the university, as well as some of the Mondego river at dusk.
We didn’t stay in Coimbra as long as we did in Lisboa or Porto, but it was a pleasant surprise to get to see this place. With limited time in Portugal it’s good to keep it just to the two main cities, as they have so much of what this country has to offer. Nonetheless, if you find yourself with enough time to stop here for a day or two, it’s highly recommended.
Next up, is the latest set from Bogotá this past January. That one is going to take a while (there are industrial amounts of photos to sort through for that one).
Yes, indeed –I’ve gone deeper inside the Cult of Mac. I know have my hands on a brand new Apple iPad.
Over the weekend, I’ve played with it enough to come up with a series of first impressions (good and bad)
You can read all about my experience leading up to the purchase, and of course: everything else after the unboxing. It’s all ready for your reading pleasure on TaskFlo.ws.
(…and no, I’m still not keen on “iPad” as the name. It’s still confusing when people say it, and I’m sure it’s not because English is not my native language).
