Hoy Dom Sagolla en RD, #sagollaRD y el futuro
El día ha llegado. Hoy se presenta Dom Sagolla (@dom) en Republica Dominicana y le deseo suerte. Esperemos que la audiencia logre sacarle todo el provecho que pueda y que @dom se lleve una muy buena impresión de la representación de nuestra comunidad que fue a escucharlo.
Dicho eso, me parece mas interesante analizar el entorno, ya que al igual que las redes sociales, la huella de esta...

Twittdo en 3923 caracteres (primera parte)
El dia comenzo triste, lloviendo y nublado. Sin embargo la gente llego desde temprano y todo el mundo madrugo (menos yo). Dato curioso cuando me levante y vi que eran las 9 y pico, lo primero que hice fue abrir @tweetdeck y el stream de @onlineteamDO cuando me di cuenta que me estaban esperando para comenzar me aliste lo mas rapido que pude y llegue cuando ya habia pasado “el incidente de la...

Mis observaciones del Evento Push Marketting
Disclaimer: Por compromisos previos no pude quedarme al panel ni las preguntas. Asi que si trataron algunos de estos temas ahí, les agradecería que me lo dejaran en los comentarios.
Disclaimer#2: Sorry to my non-spanish speakers but this is going to be Spam for you, although perhaps google translate will give you something usable.
El evento en si estuvo bien, uno que otro problema con el equipo...

Form Frameworks, you are solving half the problem
After attending the Pycon 2010 Forms panel (video link)and reading Ian’s latest post on the subject. I figured I should write my thoughts on this to see if someone agrees with me and maybe I can finally release some code that implements this.
The main problem here is that All frameworks (including ian’s anti-framework) are focused on solving the “forms” problem and...

What is different about Google Buzz.
I think I just found the “killer feature” of google buzz, and I’m going to enjoy it.

It was originally a tweet
It has the conversation in one page (as opposed to twitter
It is linking the following people an ex-coworker and good friend, a current coworker, someone from my university and someone I know from...

TwidBird best iphone twitter client so far
Today @Meleniemela tweeted about this thing I downloaded it and just fell in love.
First it shows you unread tweet count per lists. And it clearly shows with a background color which you read and which you haven’t.
Landscape dsplay!
Awesome preview of @ replies (it load the original tweet right below the current one) so you barely have to open the “conversation” window.

Tweetdeck features that should be on by default
Recently I have been getting more and more into tweetdeck. And I have discover a couple of features that are off the default which you may like.
1- twitter name autocomplete: When you type @ a popup will show you the full list of people you follow. (Preferences -> General)
2- Auto include hash tags: this is very handy for replying to people, to maintain the conversation for people watching...
Testing tumblr

My goal is to post longer than 140 tweets here as well as some articles if I get inspired now that I don’t have to maintain the server for the blog.

The real reason is that I have been posting pretty much everything lately at @elpargo but I’m getting the urge to write lately so I guess I’ll give tumblr.com a try.
So cheers to my...
