FriendFeed Invites and Six Cool Twitter Applications
Thanks to Jake, I now have a bunch of my “Web 2.0 accounts” aggregated into one place at FriendFeed: del.icio.us, Flickr, Google Reader, Google Shared Stuff, LinkedIn, YouTube and Twitter.
You can subscribe to my feed here. FriendFeed is great. I like it. It is currently in private beta testing. However, if you’re interested, just leave a comment below and I’ll send you an invite.
Speaking of twitter, I’m starting to like it more. You really have to pick the right friends you follow, otherwise you’ll be overwhelmed by useless chatter. Too bad my employer has blocked twitter, but that’s not a problem. I use:
- twittermail to post tweets by email from work
- itweet to read and post tweets from my iPhone
- twitbin to read and post tweets from my Firefox sidebar from home
- twittergram to post voice tweets from my iPhone (or any phone)
- jott to convert my voice into text tweets from my iPhone (or any phone)
- twitterfeed to publish any RSS feed to twitter.
I use twitterfeed in many different ways, like for example posting photo tweets from my iPhone to Flickr->twitter. I also publish my blog feed to my twitter account. Moreover, OraNA, Oracle and OOW twitter accounts use twitterfeed as well.
There are many other twitter applications, but the ones above are my favorites.

I was reading Remko Mantel blog about Web 2.0 and thought about sharing with you a couple of links. The first is a very cool and useful “Web 2.0″ website that offers a free, web-based collaboration tool that provides a feature-rich meeting room with real-time, whiteboard functionality. Features include:
- Create instant meetings – No client to download or install
- Annotate, share, and save documents
- Store your work (25MB free storage)
- Capture and share screenshots with 1-click
- Conduct a meeting with up to 20 attendees
- Upload and share photos from your Flickr!, Yahoo! Photos, or Kodak accounts
- Create custom photo slideshows with music
Check it out at vyew.com. I have played with it a bit and my first reaction was: Wow!
If you’re wondering what other “Web 2.0″ services are available out there on the Net, wonder no more. Just launched, a new (Web 2.0) website, Buzzshout.com, an online listing and repository of reviews of the hottest new “Web 2.0″ companies.
AJAX is a major component in all Web 2.0 website development. Oracle already has a one-stop shop for AJAX development available on OTN.
