Posterous is the dead simple way to put anything online using email. We launched in July 2008 and we've been steadily growing and adding features.

We love sharing thoughts, photos, audio, and files with our friends and family, but we didn't like how hard it was... so we made a better way.

That's posterous. We're super excited to see what happens when blogging becomes as easy as email, and we hope you enjoy posterous as much as we do. Thanks for trying it.

Early adopters are always looking for the best way to get their mission accomplished. The Twitter mission has grown into the development of a large pool of clients, add-ons and graphing abilities that never seem to stop coming.

I personally get lost and confused daily on the best Twitter client I should be using. I spend considerable time in a browser, so the first thought was to check into one of the many FireFox extensions. That bombed quickly as I am always using different applications. Then I realized I was still using a chat client, so I looked into abilities for MSN, GTalk and the remainder. Frustration always set in because no matter where I was, Twitter was becoming a major communication channel, replacing everything else.

So I digressed from the focus on integration with existing daily applications and went on a hunt for the best standalone client. The requirements were quite simple. I want a client that has a large set of capabilities, uses limited resources, and offers a stunning UI. Twhirl was a leader in this, running on the Adobe Air platform. A recent challenger was released on the same Adobe Air platform, called TweetDeck. Let's take a look at the current version of both and compare the two from my usage tests.

2008 July mashable twitter twhirl tweetdeck review microblogging social_networking social_networks social networking network networks popular

It's my own damn fault. I should have never listened to Mike. This morning I installed Twhirl on my desktop in a failed attempt to keep up better with Twitter and Friendfeed. I was hoping it would help me manage the never-ending flow of information from those two services-which, I admit, I've been increasingly ignoring. Instead, it took over my desktop and I couldn't make it stop (see image above).\n\nTwhirl solves one problem (the need to constantly visit the Twitter and Friendfeed Websites), only to create another one (information overload that clutters your desktop). I'm sure there is some setting I could change to fix the issue, but this highlights a bigger problem with the Web today. There is too much to pay attention to and not enough ways to reduce the noise. Even Robert Scoble, the biggest Twitter whore on the planet who follows 21,000 people and receives one Tweet per second, can't deal with it anymore.

Eero Holmila, CEO of Rohea showed me Qaiku.com a few weeks back when it was still in closed beta. Now it seems to have opened up to open beta and is accepting registrations. With services such as Qaiku, Twitbear, Bloggy and others being created it shows that the vacuum created by Jaiku’s downtime has created a new market for microblogging. The downside for the community of course is that the whole market is now very fragmented and thus the value in each new service is lower to the individual from the network point of view.

So, what is cool about Qaiku?

Multilingual support: I can microblog in Finnish and English, and my international friends don't need to be bothered with a language they don't understand
Private channels: our company can have a private channel where to handle actual workstreaming without leaking confidential information
Favoriting and sharing: You can easily save interesting conversations to be accessed later, or share them in other services like del.icio.us or Facebook
An evolving platform: Jaiku stagnated after Google bought them. With Qaiku there is a dynamic company, a cool platform and many interesting ideas that will hopefully make the service evolve into interesting directions

Qaikun perusajatus on viihtyminen ja verkostomaisesta yhteistyöstä hyötyminen. Qaikussa käyttäjä kertoo ('qaikuaa') mitä tekee, seuraa toisia, hakee apua pulmien ratkaisuun sekä myös itse auttaa tarvittaessa. Ennen kaikkea Qaikussa hypätään mukaan kiinnostaviin keskusteluihin kavereiden, kollegojen ja täysin vieraiden ihmisten kanssa (joista jälkimmäisistä voi myös tulla ystäviä)

Social networks and web technologies have for some time been used in education. Like business and media, web 2.0 has had a profound influence on the future of what we now call - education 2.0. Both teachers and especially students have been using blogs as well as social networks to get the job done, have fun and learn something in the process.

There are heaps of other sites all around the web where you can put your short stories, anything from DeviantART to Yahoo! Geocities, so when the magical unicorns went to create Ego, they knew exactly what they wanted. Ego was born to be a tool that specializes in creative writing of all sorts, one not distracted by social functionality. With lovely typography and beautiful designs, writers and roleplayers can focus on their writing and have results like this page, without any branding or distractions to the reader.
Owning Your Content

With some websites you need to agree to Terms of Service pages far too long to read, selling your soul, and your creations, to the website operators. Not so with Ego. There are no Terms of Service beyond three simple rules: No Pornography, No Illigal Material, and the unicorns may remove content they feel inappropriate. If your content is removed, this simply means that your account will be restricted from publishing through the ego website, and to host your content you’ll need to use the Download Zip functionality to get the html files, and upload them to a hosting service. You will continue to have access to your content regardless of these rules, unless we’re legally required to remove it, or we become aware of attempts on your part to disrupt access for other users.
Interoperability

When you publish through Ego, not only is the static html file available, but also a ’JSON’ based computer source code file, which can be read in the vast majority of common programming languages, and manipulated with ease. This means that if you provide a link to one of your pages on another website, they can potentially do all sorts of interesting things with the data, like import it in to their own competing publishing systems, add it to a search engine, or combine it with other useful information like maps. If you’d like more information on this, check out our page on Hacking. Additionally, when creating a new page, there are a few other websites you can import content from. This makes it real
