Have you heard of the new Fox show Lone Star? I had seen one commercial for it, but it really caught my eye, when I received an email a couple of weeks ago from Klout.

Initial Thoughts on Facebook’s “Places”
20 Aug 2010
Facebook launched a MAJOR new feature on their iPhone app yesterday, called “Places.” It’s a location based service (“LBS”) where you “check in” to locations, letting your friends know where you are. If you use Foursquare, Gowalla or BrightKite, you are very familiar with these types of apps. Or, if you have friends who cross-post their Foursquare updates to Facebook and Twitter, you may also know what they are (and may not have a positive opinion of them!).

Indispensible Online Tools
21 Jun 2010
Lately I feel like I’ve been discovering some REALLY cool online tools that now that I am using them, I can’t imagine not having them! So, I thought I’d put them together into one post.
Followup.cc – This is one of the simplest, but most useful tools! Basically, instead of having to remember to follow up with people you’ve sent emails to about something, followup.cc will take care of reminding you. All you do is put a date/time code into the bcc field of your email, and it will send you a reminder when you specified. So, if I want to be reminded to followup with someone in 3 days, I bcc 3d@followup.cc, and in 3 days, it sends me a reminder! Using this with Gmail is awesome, because with nested conversations, the reminder email comes with the whole prior thread. I also have a label setup so they’re flagged green when they come in. I feel such a weight off my shoulders about not having to remember to follow up with people!

Now that Tweetdeck is integrating more social networks (LinkedIn, Facebook, Google Buzz, Foursquare, MySpace), I’m guessing there will be a name change soon. Ideas? Take this poll!

Below are the top 30 highlights for me from the conference. The schedule is here if you want more information on the speakers, and there are videos of each of the session on the site too.
LiveBlog from #140Conf

This week I was in NYC for the 140 Characters Conference, which is a conference about the “State of Now.” It’s my 2nd year here (recap from last year), and a lot has changed for me in the past year. Below is a stream of all my tweets from the conference. The schedule is here if you want more information on the speakers, and there are videos of each of the session on the site too.
Most people who know me, follow my blog or talk to me on Twitter know that I’m not a big fan of cross-posting, where people post updates in one social network and have it automatically post to other social networks. If you missed my post, check it out “To Cross-Post or Not to Cross-Post.” So you won’t be surprised to know my opinion is the same when it comes to Foursquare, a location-based service where people “check-in” at places they go to.
Text 2.0… this is amazing!
30 Mar 2010
I feel like I’ve been continuously blown away by new technology lately, or of technology that’s coming in the future. This amazed me… how something like READING will be changed by technology. The video is a bit slow, but is very interesting.
