Unfollow Twitter users who do not follow you!

admin — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 02:25:32 +0000

Ever built up your Twitter list and found yourself at your “twitter threshold?” I have searched out many tools in the past and never found that “perfect” tool.

In addition, not too long ago, Twitter changed their API so that you could not unfollow a large group of people! So, when I found this tool, I was quite happy.

It will log into your Twitter account, find everybody that you follow that does not follow you and then YOU have the choice to unfollow the people you wish.

Simple and straight to the point!!

Unfollow Twitter users who do not follow you!

Looks like Microsoft is looking to bring Social Media and Social Networking into our business daily use took, Microsoft Outlook. As described here on the beta page, here is what they call the Outlook Social Connector:

The all-new Outlook Social Connector connects you to the social and business networks you use, including Microsoft SharePoint, Windows Live, and other popular third-party sites, so you can get more information and stay in touch with the people in your network without leaving Outlook.

Connecting Outlook to each social network requires a provider. To get started, download and install social network provider for Outlook.

NOTE: The Outlook Social Connector included in the Office 2010 Beta is not compatible with the beta providers currently available online. Office 2010 Beta users must install the Outlook Social Connector 32-bit Beta in order to successfully use the social network providers currently available. Also, you cannot install the 32-bit OSC Beta on Outlook 2010 Beta 64-bit.

To learn more, go to the Microsoft beta download page at:

A lot of charities rely on voluntary funding. This funding is carefully distributed and there are often more important things ahead of a generous budget for the website.So how does a charity get the most out of its website? It needs to let users find out information about the charity, but the main objective of the site is to get people involved with the charity, usually resulting in the user donating money.

In this article, we look at 8 principles that you should follow when creating a charity website.

BananAlbum – Flash gallery for your website

admin — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 16:51:25 +0000

Here is an interesting product I found being used by the Ann Storck Center It is a Flash based slide show gallery. The Ann Storck Center is using it to display newspaper clippings. The bad part of this is that these articles can not be indexed by the search engines this way. However, it is a great, inexpensive little tool for your website if you are on a budget.

The product is called BananAlbum and the current fee for a license is $39.00

Worth checking out if you are looking for a photo gallery component for your website!
